Venus rests on the North Node, the heading you came to love your way toward, and turns the length of the axis to the South Node, where your old pleasure keeps the cushions warm. Your affection answers to both ends and stays with neither. Your warmth reaches for the unfamiliar, the inherited comfort draws it back, the comfort soothes you, the new heading stretches you again. Some days a fresh affection carries you a long way out. Other days the familiar sweetness pulls you back to the soft seat. The sway between the new bond and the old pull is the work itself. Rise from the soft old couch of pleasure, but do not scorn the sweetness it gave you while you sat.
