I feel your love, enthusiasm, and compassion in your writings. I am blossoming with your loving encouragement. Currently I am doing a lot of artwork. I am in "the flow." Thank you most sincerely, Rob. You relate to me like my spirit guide, only incarnate. That feels miraculous! 😃💓

The thing that got me here is that the chart actually agrees with you, structurally.

People treat the Ascendant as the private self, the thing that would radiate the same wattage in every room. But the Ascendant is one end of a line. The Descendant sits at the exact opposite point, and they are not two separate placements, they are one axis. The horizon. You cannot draw the self point without simultaneously drawing the other point, because it is the same gesture.

So the noble fantasy you name has a geometry problem. There is no version of the first house that exists without the seventh. Whatever quality lives out on that far end is something you genuinely cannot reach on your own, only through somebody standing in that spot.

Which makes "who makes you feel real" a good deal less sentimental than it sounds. Some people stand there and hand you back the part of yourself you cannot get to alone. Others stand in the same place and hand you nothing at all.

Your wisdom is a benevolent beacon helping to navigate our often tumultuous inner seas. Thank you Rob.

Rob, there are so many reasons I’ve been following you since the 90s, and this right here— showing us how to better show up for ourselves, using yourself as an example of vulnerability with which to further that ever expanding life line of a goal that can only better equip our right now’s and our futures— this right here is utter gold 💛💛💛

I have been tuning into this truth all week as I head out of a job where I felt very little mojo and into a high vibration space of big support! I tried to make the old situation work, making small gains only to feel criticized when offering my very best. At job interviews I could feel my eagerness turn into a headache from trying to fit myself into a paycheck instead of a true version of me. It takes a lot of trust to turn down a great offer that you know will suck you dry. I have learned that my soul is not for sale.

I have found myself in that dimmed light for quite a while now and am currently in a transition in my life, listening for clues and feeling into the path toward the places where I feel held and alive. Your words have brought clarity.

Your words resonate in a way that they never resonated with that unnamed “guru”…your words spring from life as it is vs. some bizarre and unrealistic “ideal” that achieve the opposite, leaving people perpetually feel like failures.

Beautiful and bountiful- 🙏🏽

I’ve long struggled with this inorganic idea that I need to have zero expectations of others .. this helps to reframe that false notion.
