Retrograde Gate of Descent

March 28, 2025: Venus meets with the moon in Pisces, still in Her retrograde phase.

The tool, the guide, and the gift:

Always accompanied by my serpent, I carried a saber in my right hand, which I need strength and courage to use.

Over the body of water, I saw a vague, hazily outlined cream-gray rondel with facial features (like man-in-the-moon).

In the water, I saw a small white, beige, and brown mottled conch (palm-sized), but when I drew it out it was quite large (held with both hands). This didn’t make sense to me (fresh-water pond), so I switched the setting to an ocean inlet. I chose to keep it and gave the water a song in exchange.

My task this month was twofold: being commanding and appreciating sweetness.
