My teenage daughter had left home to live with her father late 2010- unbeknownst to me Venus had been retrograde in Scorpio at this time.
Times were sure not easy but carry on I did , I had three other kids to think about ,a business and a house to run. Things took a massive turn for the worst in June 2012 when my daughter who had left got back in touch and it was then that I got my first Pluto/Uranus shock. Yes there had been a sudden transformation but not in the positive sense. She had had some kind of breakdown-Uranus. She was phobic -Pluto, about leaving the rented flat where she was living alone-at 16 years old. It transpired that after her father had ‘rescued and saved’ her the day she left whilst having a teenage strop, he then had abandoned her and moved south three hours drive away.

His partner, who many years earlier had outed his son at 17 had done the same again 14 years later, whilst their respective father stood idly by and let her do the deed as he was simply too weak. She had been unable to get to school. There were too many obstacles to get over. She had become exhausted, undernourished and broken down.

Whilst I had become agoraphobic. Over time our joint transformations took place.
She had got some counselling and was advised to start meditating.The relaxation techniques she learnt really helped her confidence and mental health and she at least managed to stay in the sixth form college she had recently started at. I also took up meditation at this time and also found solace and relief from mind chatter and anxiety. Astrology brought me much healing as I could see in hindsight exactly what the Pluto / Uranus squares had brought both my daughter and I at the same time- she as a Scorpio 6 degree rising and me as a Scorpio 7 degree rising. We both had received the current transits virtually at the same time. Everything we jointly went through I journaled as writing really helped me to achieve peace of mind. Over time I realised there was a lot of insights to do with astrology but also a whole lot more as through my meditation and daily ritual with the crystals I had discovered my own psychic nature which previously had lay undiscovered. The journal became a book, over many months I worked tirelessly deciding what writings would be put in and in what order.

In November 2016 on visiting a mind, body and spirit event I was told by a clairvoyant that my work would be published. The process seemed to take forever and even when I had found a publisher it took many edits and re edits to get the book to read as the journey of transformation that it had become. The way the timing of the publishing was interacting with the latest Venus in Scorpio retrograde cycle was simply astonishing. All through the Mars retrograde in Aquarius over the Summer of 2018 and all the on and off retrograde cycles of so many planets each one brought depth and meaning purging and letting go of all the associated pain and heartache previously suffered. A whole eight year span of Venus in Scorpio retrograde has passed and the sum total of my life in between from the initial loss/abduction of my eldest daughter suffered on the one late in 2010 through the whole gamut of raw emotion to the eventual healing, writing, release and subsequent re birth which took place culminating on the Venus in Scorpio retrograde in 2018.

Simply blows me away..
