THE MATH: (Jupiter Rx + Aries) SEMISEXTILE (Vesta Rx + Pisces) = to be done about it.”
THE WEAVE:
Jupiter schedules
an appointment
in Vesta’s bedroom
-therapy books….
"Thanks for taking me
on such short notice,"
Jupiter wipes his brow
as he lays down on V's davenport,
"These sessions come highly
recommended." "No problem,
Jupey," Vesta says, as she sits
down, in a chair behind him,
"What seems to be
the query, beLoved?"
"Do you ever wonder
if you are a narcissist?"
Jupiter begins.
"Ya," Vesta shrugs, "All
the Time. I even ask
Other people, if I am One.
You know, because I am
alWays writing about mySelves."
"What do they say?"
Jupiter wonders.
"They say no," Vesta shrugs again,
"And that narcissists do not
ask that question. But I wonder
if that's true...
-And they could be lying.
At the end of the Day,
it just seems like a Word
we use, to wound eachOther.
Most creatives are
a little Self
-involved. You have to be
the center of your
Universe, if you want to
build a World. They tell me,
after countless years
of putting everyOne else's
needs before my own,
it makes sense, I might
think, that thinking
about mine, might be a mortal
sin. But maybe
they're just trying to make me
feel better..." Vesta finishes,
drifting off. "This isn't making
me feel better," Jupiter frowns,
"So you don't think
you're a narcissist?"
Vesta sighs, "I am
who I am. People say
All kinds of things
to peg you to their cross,
Jupiter. Some people
will never like you,
and tHere is Nothing
to be done about it."
"Okay..." Jupiter trails,
and sits up, "Thanks,
I guess, Vesta."
"No problem," she smiles,
and Sees him out.
