This transit tunes the mind to the frequency of hurt without flooding it. Old stories may revisit, not as accusations, but as invitations to be retold with context and care. You might notice how quickly a gentle question can unlock a memory, or how a small phrase—“that makes sense”—loosens a knot you’ve carried for years. The nervous system steadies enough for insight; language becomes a stitching needle rather than a blade.
Working with this energy means letting simplicity carry the medicine. Short sentences, clear “I feel” statements, and curious pauses do more than complicated explanations. You don’t have to solve the wound; you only need to let it speak in a safer room. When you honor limits—your own and others’—the conversation deepens naturally, and understanding grows roots instead of just passing through.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Conversations may drift toward what actually matters: apologies, unmet needs, and quiet appreciations. Repair becomes more possible as you offer presence instead of defense.
Work & Purpose
Feedback lands with less sting and more utility, making collaboration smoother and solutions easier to name. Mentoring, mediation, or drafting sensitive messages are especially fruitful now.
Creativity & Expression
Journaling, memoir, songwriting, or any form that turns pain into story gets a clear channel. The right words arrive when you trust the small, true detail.

Let the conversation be smaller than the wound and truer than the fear. When you give yourself permission to say one honest sentence—no more, no less—the body exhale is its own kind of healing. Listening counts as speaking here; the space you hold shapes the meaning that emerges.
Offer kindness without performance and insight without pressure. If you notice the urge to fix, return to curiosity; if you notice the urge to hide, return to breath. Repair is a series of tiny bridges—this transit helps you build them, plank by plank, at a human pace.
Gentle truth turns pain into wisdom.
