Long Dance — Venus, Capricorn, and You

Venus entered Capricorn earlier today, gaining ground for a four-month stay that will include the rarest of retrogrades. Consider participating. Consider it to be a long dance you can sustain. Keep it simple and easy. Every day when you awaken for the next four months, put your feet on the solid surface beneath you and pause before standing. Wait until your feet feel as solid as the surface. Wait a bit longer, then start your day.

It will not require you to push your life to its limits. It will only require you to devote a few minutes to begin every day as a renewed commitment to your own physical life. 

Some roll out of bed. Some leap out of bed. Unless you clearly remember your first moments of feet on solid surface, however, you were not really there. Such a beginning does not bode well for the rest of your day.
