ASTROLOGY FOR SELF-INTIMACY

the more I can look at myself

    see myself, be with myself

    all the parts of me

    even the ones I’ve learned not to like, the hidden away parts

the more I can feed myself

the more I can give myself the love I need + deserve.

ignoring these needs doesn’t make them go away

these parts make attempts in any way they can

(bitterness, frustration, projecting, blaming, judging, complaining, sleep issues, any number of physical pains / illnesses, relationship challenges … on and on)

what if these parts don’t have to try so hard to get my attention?

what if they feel seen, acknowledged, and validated?

what if I build my life and world around me in a way that honors who and how I really am and what I really want and need?

(and I continually do that because I am constantly returning to the practice of listening to myself)

healing from self-abandonment

the magical part of this is with growing self-intimacy I have greater intimacy in ALL of my relationships 

being intimate with the self is also knowing I am part of a greater whole

I can understand the context

what is my role to play?
