Starcodes this Week - Heather Roan Robbins

We need to tell our story this week. Sometimes it will be the rock-hard truth, sometimes our story may be low on facts but will still speak our inner reality as Mercury enters expressive Leo and trines prolific Jupiter.

With Mercury in Leo we’ll be proud of what we know and happy to share. We might be tempted to jump on our soap box and pontificate, but if we do so, it will just cause eyes to glaze over, so let’s dial it back a notch. We can watch reporters on the evening news or over the backyard fence crank up their emotional charge and drop into bathos, but just because they exaggerate doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Because we’ve got to sing in the weeks ahead look for great reportage and wild opera, but there may not be much difference between. People will want to spill their guts, but whether we get the real deal or the simplified melodramatic cover story will take extra perception on our part. Some of the stories that come out this week will be both true and mythic; they’ll rip our hearts open and hit us in a visceral way.

Luckily Venus enters perspicacious Virgo for the next few weeks and asks us to dig deeper to understand the story behind the story. Venus in Virgo encourages us to talk it out and ask the tough questions, she encourages us to process for fun. We just have to be sure other people around are as interested in dissecting the story as we are.

Venus in Virgo also encourages us to put some effort in to our chosen art forms, and asks us to care for one another in a practical way. She helps us find the problem and, if we tap into her potential, can help us heal it. Just watch the Virgo–Venus tendency to go to our head and analyze as a way of getting out of messier work or messier emotions, or making improving comments to loved ones to subtly push them away.

When we need to tell our version, it can be ok to go for the melodrama, sometimes it will be the only way to get the story across. Kids have rested up from school and no longer just want to sleep late; they’re looking for a bit of adventure, for good or ill. Social life picks up and summer arts festivals percolates: it will pay to see performances early in the summer rather than later for inspired performances. Just forgive a bit of over-acting.

Thanks for this. Being a Virgo, I feel what is shared here very much, and am actively working on creating something tied in with this message.

Cool. :hippie:

Thanks! :hug:

from Clerks :rofl: "perspicacity"

mixers of high-falutin' vocabulary, blasphemy, profanity, and a fixation with bodily functions that one will ever find anywhere.
