I found my mother's pillowcases in the linen closet. And king-size sheets from a marriage long gone. That's when the question showed up — what actually belongs here now?
This captures so well the Uranus in Taurus transit ending soon, which disrupted our relationship to our belongings and our sense of security since 2018... A process of finding home inside, letting go of old attachments that don't serve, and making space for the new.
Hi Lili, I was interested in your comment about the astrological transit you say started in 2018 and will end soon. My husband died in 2018 and I've grieved, I've sold his business equipment, tools and premises, sold his classic cars (one I couldn't part with), given away most of his clothes - again, some that are so attached to our lives together, like the cruises we went on, that I just can't let someone else have these treasured memories.
The same goes for our home. Every piece of furniture, the drapes, crockery, cutlery, Every plant in the garden, we chose and enjoyed together. Now I'm retired & in a dead-end relationship I can't find the motivation or courage to end, I'm starting to feel renewed grief and sadness bordering on depression.
Will the end of this astrological period also mean another life-change for me, a Taurean born in late April?
Will I be able to shrug off this lethargy of spirit, this inability to dream up a retirement that doesn't involve the love of my life? Or should I just throw out everything we had together and move house in the hope of "moving on?"
Any suggestions or insights (from anyone!!!) gratefully accepted. TIA 🙏❤️
Thanks for putting these thoughts out there. I’m in the middle of decluttering before my move (from Arlington, VA to Durham, NC). Tripping back in time is quite the process and I’m finding I’m able to let go of so many items. My friends are like, just keep the stuff you haven’t used in a decade or so. It’s a journey!!
I’m in the process of clearing my mother’s home, sitting with what’s left behind from a life, and your words echo through it.
That quiet asking of what actually belongs now.
It’s not just practical, is it. It’s emotional, almost existential.
What we carry forward, what we release, what still holds meaning.
The way you describe silence becoming something softer, something guiding, feels very close to what I’m finding in it too. Thank you so much for sharing
