Look up at the night sky tonight, and consider the planets that go it alone. Mercury and Venus remind us that completeness doesn’t always come from having a partner. They orbit the Sun with unwavering consistency, their lone brilliance a quiet strength.
In our own lives, we often chase moons—metaphorical ones like validation, stability, or a perfect schedule. But maybe there’s a quiet power in being like Venus: a little retrograde, a little hot, but utterly self-sufficient. Next time you feel like you’re missing a “moon” in your world, remember these two planets. They’ve been navigating space for billions of years, and they’re doing just fine.
