Astrologically Speaking
By Anna E. Jordan
He charts lives.
Interprets transits.
Clarifies uncertainties.
She is astrologically
dumb.
He—
Leo,
Scorpio rising,
Aries moon.
She—
Aquarius,
Virgo rising,
Sun in 5th house.
He sees a future
in opposition.
Nodes out of place
He needs space.
She struggles to understand.
Searches for translation.
Grasps at what is already
gone.
He finds truth
in
the language of
Stars.
She in her own
starstuff.

Wonderful poem, Anna! Made me smile and nod knowingly, as I think about how differently my husband and I sometimes view things. (You wrote this poem on my husband’s birthday.) 🙂 We’re both Scorpios!
Thanks so much for reading, Jama. I’ve been told that even the time of your birth makes a big difference in how you see your path so it doesn’t surprise me that there are times that two Scorpios don’t see eye to eye. Happy Belated Birthday to your husband!
Beautiful. Shared to my FB wall. Hope you are well!
Thank you so much for sharing, Agy. I am well but I’ve had sick kiddos at home. Too cold and not enough snow if you ask me. I’d be happy to go back to Nicaragua. 🙂
My favorite “Grasps at what is already/ gone.” Beautiful (says the Pisces). Thank you for sharing! xo
Irene. I like that line too. Working on a new poem for Friday. I hope you’ll come back often.
Well done!
Thank you!
So interesting to ponder our differences…and similarities!
I was also pondering the difference between trust in what the stars tell us versus trust in our own intuition. Thanks so much for reading. Come back often!
I love the starstuff bit – it has a twinge of sadness and hope in stuff that makes us radiant. 🙂
