I absolutely love the idea of using TASTE instead of LOVE! You are so right when you say every astrologer and their mom emphasizes on love and relationships during this period! I love I TASTE! Thank you! 🩷

Hey Valentina! I hope all is well with you! Congrats on cutting your own hair! I love that for you! <3 I love how thoroughly you explained the Venus Retrograde, I feel like you are making me really think about what I enjoy to do and what hobbies I should start doing. :D I remember all those songs back from 2017, girlll, let me tell you that Shape of You by Ed Sheeran was on REPEAT for me lol! I was obsessed with that song! I love The Weeknd's music and Starboy was an amazing album for me! I totally forgot that Drake released his mixtapes on the day of my birthday and that mixtape was very good! I was not into Kendrick's new album (DAMN) too much but, recently I've been getting into his DAMN album. Me Rehúso was also on repeat for me too lol! I'm going to start watching Love forsure, I remember the show being popular on Netflix back then but I did not get into it. >.< However, I was definitely into MindHunter back then! I freaking LOVED that show, I may rewatch it again because it was that good! Listening to these 2017 Hits while writing our Prompts for Week 2 and even now with this comment brings back good memories. ^__^ I know I was at community college back in 2017, I did not post too much on my socials. If I recall correctly, I mainly stayed at home and to myself and focused on my studies; no romantic relationships. I believe I was just writing and reading a lot (reading on the Episode App). I'm so excited for the Tasty Bite! <3 Also, I want to mention that last week (Thursday, Feb. 20th) my little sister and I did a free pilates session at HotWorx and boyyy, it did a number on us but it was so much fun! After some time thinking, I decided to join it (which will be tomorrow since I get paid lol). One of the main reasons for me joining is because I feel like it is time to start taking care of my body / health more, especially with this SR coming up! Plus, this will give me a chance to release any anger / tension / stress I have stored within my body, mind, or even soul. Along with is being a hobby for me too! It's mainly women at HotWorx, which I love because I always feel so self-conscious at the gym I go to (well, I haven't been in months lmao) since it's mainly men there. I appreciate you if you read all this lol, I always go into detail when it comes to writing about my life + stuff in general lol. Thank you so much for everything! I appreciate all that you put into your work + sharing what is going on with your life too! <3 :D

Hi, Alexsis! I’m doing well, thanks for your nice wishes.

I should have clarified that I didn’t cut my hair myself, LOL. My hairdresser comes to my house because I’m not a big fan of salons.

However, I’m toying with “bonsai-ing” my hair. Meaning: I want to get professional scissors and trim it almost every day so it doesn’t get unhealthy. I haven’t done it, but I’m excited about it. We’ll see.

I’m really glad you liked the explanation about the Venus retrograde cycle. I appreciate your thoughts and comments!

As Rico Nasty recently said in an interview with Rolling Stone, “Happiness in adulthood is hobbies,” so I’m happy you’re exploring that playful side. She came to that realization during her first Saturn return!

Shape of You was also on repeat for me back in 2017. What a BANGER! It is a fantastic song. I still like it.

I also agree with you about Starboy. I didn’t mention this in the newsletter, but the visuals The Weeknd made for that album are amazing, too. So scorpionic.

Your solar return chart then had Venus retrograde, and your birthday this year will also have Venus retrograde, so I encourage you to pay extra attention to this cycle. No wonder you enjoyed this edition of the newsletter!

I think you might enjoy Love. It has a very sobering vibe about, well, love, and relationships in general. It also takes place in Los Angeles, and I always enjoy seeing the behind-the-scenes of show biz. Very meta of me, I know.

Mindhunter, OMG, so terrific. I’m still hopeful for another season. Fingers crossed!

Thank you so much for sharing about your experiences back in 2017. I also remember that time of my life quite vividly, and I’ll journal about it, too.

Congrats on attending a HotWorx session! It looks extreme, LOL. But I’m glad you had a good time and will get a membership there. Physical exercise is so SO helpful on many levels.

I don’t mind long messages. I’m actually quite grateful for you taking the time to share how my work is impacting you. Much appreciated!

Thank you again, and until next week!
