Born Today?
A reading for your birthday. Leo season.
That loss is common would not makeMy own less bitter, rather more:Too common! Never morning woreTo evening, but some heart did break.
Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam
The things you carry forward that you never chose to pick up are often the heaviest ones, and they change shape as you age but never quite disappear. A way of worrying that came from a parent, a fear that moved through generations before landing in your hands, a silence around certain subjects that everyone learned without being taught. These patterns live in your body now, and this year asks you to feel their actual size rather than pretending they are smaller or larger than they are. You cannot set them down completely, but you can stop carrying them the same way. The year ahead is the one where you learn the difference between honoring what was passed to you and letting it decide everything for you. What you do with the inheritance becomes the thing you pass forward.
