My Saturn in Pisces Speaks to My Jupiter in Sagittarius: A Contrapuntal
| a planet of discipline and
all I have is this liquid sign an ocean that knows no boundaries wants to swell, to engross perhaps this is why I struggle with wanting magic amidst the realism still I honor the water that quenches allows me to float that lets dreams slip through the cracks of order |
a planet of faith
in conversation with fire but fire cannot be contained in its own right a spark turns to blaze turns to consumption I have too much fire, the only element that needs to eat it becomes its own beast but never gets to live despite all the burning rather than letting rage fester then turns my optimism to a Phoenix within the ash |
Nice! I’ve been working a lot lately with these dual poems. I find so many interpretations of how to red them – three poems? one intertwined with a dual message? – no matter which, or what, this is great. The merging of fire and water in one piece. Thank you so much.
They are so tricky to write, but feel so rewarding! I’m working on a three column one (so 4 ways to read) and it is A TASK.
what a tremendous job you have done in marrying the two very different influences. I do not know enough about astrology to understand but your focus was spot-on in simplifying what I’m sure is an immense body of knowledge. A keeper
Thank you so much! I wasn’t sure I could knock it out in an hour honestly, but I’m happy with the draft!!
Wow. I’m stealing this contrapuntal form as a prompt down the road. Impressive.
yes! I’m an Aries but this makes sense to me 😀
Love this!!!!
