The mid-30s is a magical no man's land. Jupiter is in transit in the 12th house; expansion and growth in the mystic trauma house; not straight forward growth; can’t see in tangible way; internal work; difficult to articulate; sensitivity to other energetic realms, emotional states, somatic states; returning to some part of myself...thirteen years ago, twelve years to return...
