I was looking at a piece of my art, thinking about the books I was working on. Sometimes I feel scattered, this morning was no different. It was as if pieces of me were in different time lines, and I couldn't figure out how to get from one to the other, or which one I wanted to be in. 

It brought me to the idea of the books. I have six chapters of the one and eight chapters of the other to complete. Fourteen is the connection to Temperance, or patience. It's also related to Sagittarius, and Sagi had definitely kept me learning what patience meant in my life the last year and a half. 

In 2025 before I truly started the deep work of my heart, I cretaed a Sacred Love Blueprint. This was to understand what I need to feel love, and where my boundaries were going to be placed. These are the ideas that I came up with: 

1. Emotional Safety - My Truth / Need: I feel safe when emotions are acknowledged, not minimized.

My Sacred Boundary: I will not stay in a space where I feel emotionally invisible.

2. Communication - My Truth / Need: I need clear, thoughtful, and regular communication without chasing.

My Sacred Boundary: I will not accept silence or vagueness as love.

3. Sensual Connection - My Truth / Need: I desire sensuality that comes from emotional depth, not performance.

My Sacred Boundary: I will not give my body without feeling emotionally held.

4. Shared Vision - My Truth / Need: I want to build toward shared intentions, not just chemistry.

My Sacred Boundary: I will not build fantasies on mixed signals.

5. Daily Presence - My Truth / Need: Daily check-ins or moments of presence help me feel connected.

My Sacred Boundary: I will not beg for time or feel like a disruption.

6. Spiritual Alignment  - My Truth / Need: I need someone open to spiritual conversations or reflection.

My Sacred Boundary: I will not collapse my beliefs or spiritual practices.

7. Personal Growth - My Truth / Need: I thrive in relationships where both partners seek growth.

My Sacred Boundary: I will not shrink to make someone else comfortable.

8. Family & Traditions - My Truth / Need: I crave family traditions, holidays, and warmth in a home.

My Sacred Boundary: I will not give up my dream of a connected family for comfort.

9. Conflict Repair - My Truth / Need: I need repair to happen with honesty, not withdrawal or shutdown.

My Sacred Boundary: I will not stay in unhealthy patterns just to avoid discomfort.

10. Freedom & Space - My Truth / Need: I need alone time and independence to process and reset emotionally.

My Sacred Boundary: I will not allow someone to control or question my need for space.

Throughout the last year and a half, I have been slowly given every one of these. Despite this I felt like I was in two different worlds. 

I looked at my painting and realized I wasn't scattered at all. I was seeing multiple threads of my own life at once. The woman writing two books. The woman learning patience. The woman who had written a blueprint for love. The woman still carrying old grief. I thought they were competing timelines. What if they were actually one mandala?

Temperance does not ask us to choose one vessel and discard the other. It asks us to become the one who can hold both.

Perhaps this is what Henōsis had been teaching me all along. Union wasn't asking me to choose between my past and my future, my wounds and my wisdom, my longing and my boundaries. It was asking me to become the place where they could finally meet.

My Sacred Love Blueprint wasn't really a checklist for another person. Reading it now, it feels more like a declaration of the relationship I was cultivating with myself. As those ten qualities became more established within me, it became possible to recognize and receive them from someone else. That makes the blueprint not just about finding love, it becomes another spiral in my own becoming.

This is where the transit sits today, in the August 8 portal. We are letting go of things, becoming others, and learning how powerful that is.
