In Love and Light
druid

I REALLY loved your composition on Virgo!
The purity of your prose appealed so much.
"It's not easy to please a Virgin" is a perfect example of the lessons Virgo can learn from Aries.
I remember the truth of that poem clicking in my mind the first time i read it,..my Virgo Asc doesn't mind hearing the Truth,..especially when it helps to bring me closer to prefection,..really though! I am improving!!!

Once again (it's TRUE!) you have the best of both worlds!

THANK YOU twice over,for the wonderful prose,..which speaks to the HEART,..just like Linda did!

Please do continue this cycle

Love
Michael

love to you, dear one

What have we here ... after the karmic evolutions of the material ... coming full circle in Virgo ... the soul takes yet another spin on the wheel of Love... this time taking the essence higher ... with an idealistic soul such as Libra ...

Through the passionate courage of Aries and the patience and stability of Taurus into the verbal lightness of Gemini and the caring affection of Cancer with the generous warmth of Leo and the purity of Virgo ... the Libra soul in Love must balance to find true harmony ... The soul has borne witness to the extremes that Love can be ... constant stimulation can exhaust, routine stability can bore with lessons no more, constant verbal communication can confuse, Tenacity can tire and wither, Too much regal ice can freeze as too much of regal heat can scorch and too much rules and regulations can dour ... the soul sees it all ... the tipping of the scales wrings the nerves and produces one-sided souls ... Love is chaos then and to this enlightened Love is Peace ... beauty, peace, tranquility ... this is what this soul seeks to fulfill ...

As did Linda in her beautifully written pOeMs in VENUS TRINES AT MIDNIGHT... Venus, ruler of Libra, Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, Juno, you name this essence any word-druid and you come up with the same picture ... Love in its all its peace and beauty ... Love in all its harmony ... Love in Libra ...

Reaching beyond the realms of the material, the soul now searches for more of this wonderful gift, aware of the rich experiences awaiting and the rewards of infinite bliss ... yes, for this the soul must see further, must take a higher step into the realm of the spiritual ... it is entrancing ... and beckoning, the soul hears this siren's song and takes the first step ... the spirituality of Love is glimpsed ... and the chains of a restricted material life breaks ... yes - breaks ... even this Sign of Beauty and Harmony can break in the wake of Freedom ... and open Love's blinders as Linda says in "URANUS IN LIBRA CAN SHAKE UP MENDELSSOHN" "Marriage went out..not only that, it's a flop...a legal paper can't bind our hearts or keep them from breaking when one of us wants to go or when one of us plays the fool...by this time you should know that the indecent show of a wedding can't make you more my own that you are now..." yes, the Libra freshness for new ideas can stretch this soul's boundaries to fascinating yet logical territories ... yet, with all this spiralling freedom, Libra believes in the "two-makes-one" theory" ... and the logical wisdom behind this ... "I can teach you a lot about the dynamics of a relationship, like two people who don't have a mystical bond will run out of things to say to each other and that's the end of line with or without a license to make a mistake..." Linda through the Uranus-Libra evolved soul logically speaks to our hearts with a beauty one can't resist ... the Libran's "iron fist in a velvet glove" ... and the delicate-yet-spiritual truth that Love enlightens to this Libran soul ... "two people who have loved each other for centuries can never run out of emotional empathy at least, not during one lifetime and they make it through without anything borrowed or anything blue..."

Presenting this fragile spiritual truth that the soul experiences can be confusing to to the people who receive such wisdom as well to this soul ... Linda's awareness of this facet of the Libran comes through with a humourous touch in LIBRA IN LOVE - DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS ... From the leap taken to enter the higher realm, this soul experiences the joy of pure idealism ... that stirs the heart more than any fiery passion or earthy practicality ... this soul loves the heart-warming touches of love and yet ... one must balance and not be rash ... idealism but not impatience and yet ... how impatient this Libran soul can get trying to decide the truth ... "Giving that man a job and a reason to live...was kind...I like you, setting that bird's broken wing...was beautiful, I love you...arranging the pose of a strange nude is crude...I hate you...Will you please send back my friendship ring and take your foot off my scales?"

However, when decision come to rest within the Libran soul in Love, the soul only enhances the beauty and sentimentality of true love ... so tender ... so touching AS Linda portrays in MOON IN LIBRA, GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY ... see this Libran evolved soul who truly believes in the other half and the beauty of change and sentiments that can stir a lover's heart ... with just the idealism ... pervaded with Libran charm and grace ... "when I think of you, I don't need the crutch of cigarettes or coffee to face the morning, when I remember you, I scold the dogs more gently if they climb upon my bed against the rules, because of you, I buy a bunch of violets every Tuesday...since knowing you, I haven't felt it necessary to win each game of chess I play, I notice lonely people more on holidays - like Christmas...I'm more compassionate and patient with fools who bore me even with one who ignore me." Yes, that is Libra ... growing wise with Love ... and the Magic that remains unseen yet deeply felt ..."I can't find any mention of this magic in the songs of Solomon, the sonnets of Shakespeare, Montaigne's essays or Walter Benton's poems...they wrote of friends, of lovers..."

Experiencing this spiritual aspect of Love, Libra senses, though confused, that Love is not just physical ... that the bond can touch deep within, without ever touching the lover's skin ... "We cannot call this love...we've never touched each other and perhaps we never will...we have only come as close as resting elbows on a sill...nor can we call this friendship...friends share tragedies and joy...our last communication was a postcard in July. Why, one of us could even die without the other knowing..." Yes, Libra not only senses this bond but also understands the meaning of being ... of Love still being and never changing when its true and ever-blue when experienced by Libra ... "you told me once if we never saw each other again it wouldn't make any difference, you didn't say it wouldn't matter, you said it wouldn't make any difference and did you know I understood the nuance? It was so long ago but did you know? ... The Libran soul comprehends the nuances of spiritual love...as so beautifully expressed by Linda ... and her Libran promise to all soulmates in URANUS IN LIBRA..."stop crying, I have a secret to tell you, you're not alone anymore ! Truly lovely heart-soaring words of peaceful joy for this Libran's soul belief in Love - the eternal idealistic kind !

The Autumn is beautiful with the beautiful hues of red, yellow and gold ... of a warm love and the cool winds just so the warmth doesn't get out of hand ... warm and cool in Autumn ... in the pink-gold of an evening sunset ... the heart of Libra soars with idealistic wings ... Love is all, this soul sings ... Love is truly all that this magical earth does bring to each living being ... Love ... honey-dipped and cream-whipped and topped with cherries a-plenty ... who can resist this ?

love to all
druid

Who can resist YOU, WISE SISTER !!! Naturally, I return to SEE that YOU, MON DEAR have only continued to SHINE SO FINE

I MISSED YOU SO, Pal O'Mine

Much LOVE

Hello dear Knowflakes ...

Once more ... from VENUS TRINES AT MIDNIGHT ...

After all the Llibra love the soul experiences, the soft warm idealism, the peace, the tranquility, the airy spiritual essence ... the soul is tempered enough for passion ... yes, the soul hungers to feel the height and depth of such soulmate or twin self love ... the soul is so overfilled with the sensuality of the physical (as earlier experienced by Taurus) that the soul feels the need for spirituality and sensuality to blend ... to experience one-ness ... coupled with the Taurus sense of touch and Libra sense of beauty cleansed in Virgo purity, nutured by the Crab, elucidated by the twins, fired by the Ram and regalized by the Lion, this soul rises again, with a new awareness of LOVE ... Now in the water element, the soul must feel and explore this great mystery, though equally aware of the pitfalls one can experience, the soul ventures slowly but surely as the soul undergoes the new transformation ...

PLUTO MOVES SLOWLY BUT SURELY says our ever-knowing Linda, of passionate planet and her people, so aware and "enmeshed" in the soul's earlier incarnations of love, that now the approach is slow and sensitive ... yet passionate ... "I'd like to skip this passing storm with its violent thunder of knowing between lightning flashes of guessing and intermittent torrents of hurt..." Look at the expressive words that tell of this passionate soul ... "storm", "violent thunder" and "torrents" ... yes, this soul wishes the extreme experience ... losing the balance ... plunging into Love ... so much that at times ... the soul can become obsessed and suspicious ... "we're in that dangerous manic-depressive phase of giving each other emotional ink blot tests on public couches..." such be the case with the soul in Scorpio ... yet because of such an extremely passionate nature ... the soul underneath is very vulnerable (as it be the case of the powerful ... where the more good one is the more bad s/he can become ... the opposite holds in as much effect) ... the soul wields power in Love ... so far not experienced ... and with such commanding passion that brings awe and "forced" obeisance, the soul feels secure ... though is aware that this security be false and must constantly be alert like the "watchdog" to see that love doesn't fall ... "when one of us makes a Freudian slip we switch roles like two charming, but knife-sharp clever diplomats, each unwilling to commit himself for fear of an unexpected coup de grace..."

Such emotion, Linda wisely knows must be handled with fresh honesty to clear the clouds of obsession and clogged drains of suspicion which the soul experiences because of the extremes of this kind of Love ... for any other approach would be mild as this soul abhors weakness ... simply because the soul feels such under the clever guise of power ... "call me when it's time to surrender my strawberry always love ... I think I'll pass this next round of Russian roulette with words ..."

But such Love, as that of the Scorpion Soul, experiences the strange, the mystical and the spiritual ... in this "strange country of total love" (SCORPIO SILENCE IS GOLDEN) ... this soul reaches beyond ... and knows Love ... without a doubt ... "I would know you ... as surely as I would know the sent of the woods we walked from pine incense or sherry from scotch..." the sense of Scorpio is beyond ... in the unsaid ... the mysterious ... yet the knowing ... "...and I answer yes without words, I like this language, it's so honest an simple ad pure, we've spoken it with our eyes since the beginning " Dear Linda knew the experience of Scorpion Love ... for she felt this word-druid too ... just like each one of us, when we truly love ...

When Scorpio can gift a soul this kind of love ... then there is no doubt that Scorpio is vulnerable and fears being rejected for such immense passion ... that is why the soul is also over protective of the "spirit" within ... as Linda so knew ... of a hurt Scorpion and the need to "punish" the lover who has accepted such "LOVE" as a matter-of-fact ... taken for granted ... in "BUTTERFLY WILL GET HER REVENGE" ... "it would serve him right to reincarnate one fine day as a Virgo or a Pisces with an afflicted Venus and get mixed up with Butterfly again who, hopefully would reincarnate as a Scorpio with the Moon in Scorpio and Venus in Scorpio and a Scorpio Ascendant and Mars in Aries ... that would teach him a karmic lesson or two...

That is Scorpion outrage against unrequited love ... one rarely knows the depth of Scorpion hurt ... not even the lover who walks away ... who cannot cherish or even begin to understand the passion and reverence of such fierce and deep love ... that is why Scorpio has to deliver the same pain ... not in provoked retaliation, not in storming anger ... nor in hate, for a Scorpion is wise and s/he who is wise and has loved completely and passionately, knows that the opposite of love is not hate but indifference ... yes, this cool unruffled person outside with the burning rejected heart inside silently delivers the deadly "STING OF THE SCORPION" ... "your icy voice put out the starts, it cracked my heart and broke it in splinters, your tone as cold as Colorado winters...but I promise to soon forget...you'll feel the swift response of an equal...I'll drown you in pseudo-kindness and a casual friendly glance, I can almost imagine your blindness as I watch and wait for the chance to suddenly-cruelly-make you know how easy it was to let you go."

Yes, Scorpio may let go of Love at a very high cost, but the spirit remains unbending ... the spirit is strong and proud ... and passionate ... the soul has experienced such passion and power ... but the soul must learn to trust and let go of this passion, which has been acquired and understood after many incarnations that it is difficult to let go ... easily ... but a Scorpio weeps within ... alone, afraid to display weakness for the love of a Scorpio is deep, enigmatic and powerful ... and yes, total ... as Linda did feel for her twin, never you mind she is Aries ... she truly loves ... see her feelings Scorpio-explode in THREE GALAXIES-THREE ... "we hated gently, carefully as if we were someday to love. And now that you're gone, I'm free to cry at last and to know that I will be lonely for you and you for me through all the eternities before us..."

Such is Scorpion love, deep, total and passionate ... the revenge or the retaliation or the indifference of a Scorpion to Love is because of a rejection ... or a casual acceptance without understanding this soul's depth and beauty of a spiritual love ... there is no need to be afraid of Scorpio ... for if you look with sensitivity and true Love into A Scorpio Soul ... "you would know the reason for the music" ... of Love ...

Yes, the cool winds may have set in ... in tune with the soul's deeper search for a richer Love, that must face pain ... to gain ... but a Love in November will eternally remain ... if nutured with a few golden sunshine drops of trust ... then the Scorpio becomes an Eagle and soars ... taking love to places, never visited before ... revealing mysteries that remained since hidden ... crossing all territories forbidden ... by man ... not the universe ... who joyously welcomes such spiritual passion ... of a Scorpio-Eagle in Love ... yes, Miracles take place ... amidst the swirlings of a frosty November Morn ... at dawn ... if you look closely enough ... tingling-aware ... you'll know "where Eagles dare"...

love to all you knowflakes ... druid ...

Hi Galadriel!!

Funny you should say I'm silly/crazt. Generally, I'm QUITE serious. But with all those LOVEly words on TRUE LOVE....well, I just got swept away!!!!

I do love to DREAM and can sometimes get a bit down, you see I'm a Pisces, with a Libra moon, and Venus, Jupiter, some say Mars in Pisces and a Pisces ascendent.

So there's nothing like a tale of TRUE LOVE to spiral me UP UP and AWAY. Sometimes I forget to come down at all!! Who could blame me, though!!

Back down with my feet on the ground,
Annie

LOVE to ALL

Mon DEAR druid

I for ONE and ONE for ALL am awaiting you to SHINE on Sagittarius, like only yOu can, with BELLS ON

MUCH LOVE
essence

thought this poem would belong here as well after all..

well here's one version from me about
WHO ELSE BUT THE LADY HERSELF..

-'--,--{@ "LINDA GOODMAN" @}--,--'-

IN A LAND LAID IN DOOM,
Where MAN DID MOAN,
Came the MAID of the MOON,
With her DOGMA of NO DOOM..

IN MIND we did GAIN
GOOD, as our AIM MAIN..
Us, she DID AID,
By the stars DOGMA she LAID..

I was in mind a NOMAD
She said, fear not my LAD,
You ain't MAD
As says your DAD..

This is but a MAN made DOMAIN
In which you shall not remain
Once your destiny you O'DAIN
And your fears you have slain

Let your heart not AIL,
Your DOOM you shall NAIL
In this you shall not fail
If you read your MIND's MAIL

Think and act as a GOOD MAN
Rather than a so-called GODMAN
Don't let them your spirit MALIGN
With yourself you must ALIGN

LOAD your MIND's GLAND
And into yourself travel INLAND
Fear not my LAD
You shall but be GLAD

happy LANDING..

Cheers
Hach Winik
