Shining and dancing

Someone called me beautiful yesterday, and it sent me for a loop.

It was after a sound journey where I was bundled up wearing my polar bear sweater, the kind that makes me feel big and small all at once, that wraps me up in warmth and safety.  I'm on my 🩸, and I genuinely enjoy curling up in my a shell.

This person was a beautiful stranger, someone whose eyes I’d never met before, and she and I shared a brief interaction.

I was helping her with some things that she needed to do at the studio space. And midway through helping her was when she made a comment on my beauty. It sent me for a loop.

I physically felt like a bear, but energetically was radiating kindness that reflected through as a shiny love.

Because sometimes I forget that I exist as more than how I physically show up. I exist in the ways that I show up for people, and this is how my flesh I reflects  beauty to others.

Peaceful energy reflects beauty.

My Venus is in Virgo. She is the graceful priestess.

And this is the energy I am learning to fully embody, the energy of a peaceful and powerful leader. Creating from the heart and attentive to the soul.

My Venus and Virgo means that love and pleasure is expressed through devotion. Through deep care and attention to detail. Being an earth sign that's ruled by mercury means that there's lots of room for judgment with quick observation. Discernment is my superpower.

I show love by creating, and doing. In the temple of relationships I offer myself here, fully present, fully devoted, fully attentive to the needs.

It is reflected by me asking. If you are ready to devote yourself into my temple, if you are going to soak in all of my details.

I am attracted to your humbleness, to your intelligence, to your drivenness.

To your reliability, to your consciousness, to your grounding abilities.

The invitation from my Venus asks me to devote fully while still allowing myself to receive the same tenderness, the same sweetness, the same specific care that I also offer others. So in these moments of my beauty being reflected back -

I show up with the elegance and stillness that says, ‘Thank you.’

A smile that indicates gentleness and appreciation and the forward thinking behavior, to continue being, this energy, a Virgo.
