An Open Hand
Sometimes the desire to hold something close reveals how afraid we are to lose it.
With Venus retrograde in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius, questions of love, worth, and belonging may touch a tender place. Notice the impulse to seek proof, test someone’s affection, or measure your value by the attention you receive. Beneath that urgency, something in you may be asking for care.
The Moon in Aquarius offers room to breathe. Step outside the familiar story for a moment. A feeling can be real without telling you everything about a situation; an old fear can return without its prediction coming true.
Let honesty begin with yourself. What do you want? What have you been afraid to ask for? Where have you made yourself smaller to preserve a connection?
There is room for closeness that leaves you free to be yourself. Today, practice an open hand: speak plainly, listen with curiosity, and allow the answer time to arrive.
Where could I loosen my grip and still remain true to what I love?
