The Cosmic Heirs

Aries: And the cosmos said to Aries

It can win any battle
I bequeath my fascination and awe with everything and and anything
and every happy memory from my childhood”
Taurus: And the cosmos said to Taurus

I leave you every moment of pleasure I ever experienced and my many fortunes”
Gemini: And the cosmos said to Gemini
“To Gemini, I leave to you in my will, my beautiful mind, the intellect that can grasp anything in a moment, a golden notebook that can contain a thousand thoughts a minute. How perfect for you..
Now you will have the ability to be nourished by reading so you do not have to eat or sleep”
Cancer: And the cosmos said to Cancer
“To Cancer, I leave to you in my will, my ability to dream the dreams of the whole night sky
A home to you by the sea, so the ocean will sing you to sleep every night while your loved ones are close by
I leave you my divine child to raise and love, nobody can
nurture like you”
Leo: And the cosmos said to Leo
“To Leo, I leave you the complete paintbox of my creative genius, the colours and design that brought the universe to life

Virgo: And the cosmos said to Virgo
“To Virgo, I leave you my intelligence and eyes, that which conceives beyond material into every finer design. Nobody else will see what you see
And my finest handiwork will be yours, I will leave you the hands I crafted with for centuries by starlight. These are filled with the minerals of healing and therapy, these can fix anything”
Libra: And the cosmos said to Libra
“To Libra, I leave you my heart, it is the most striking of all, capable of consuming and generating all love and harmony
I leave you a life of peace, one free of treachery, unkindness or dishonesty. My eye for design will be yours, the ability to bring worlds together, turn colours into rainbows, and language into poetry”
Scorpio: And the cosmos said to Scorpio
“To Scorpio, I leave you my sacred power, that which originated at the beginning of time, and you will visit this place often
and become acquainted with the beauty of nothingness
The most powerful healing tonic of the cosmos will be yours, ready for you when you become enlightened and aware
I leave you the ability to be reborn, like me, again and again, so you will eventually fly on this dimension”
Sagittarius: And the cosmos said to Sagittarius

I give you every drop of bottled laughter and joy
You will hardly recognise a moment of sadness amongst the sheer delight”

My magic and mastery, and the strongest backbone at all, then you will ability to stand tall amongst any obstacle you face down there”

“To Aquarius, I leave you my genius, my intellectual brilliance, my ability to create worlds from pure imagination
I leave you the heavenly knowledge that you will relish to share
And I leave you the whole world to protect, every dolphin, and baby, and rainforest tree. You are my sovereign guardian. Mother Earth is your mother”
Pisces: And the cosmos said to Pisces
“To Pisces, I leave you all of my dreams and vision, the canvas and paintbox that mused the universe, the ability to make art out of emotion
The whole ocean is yours, and when you submerge you will feel home, it will be nice to know, you can always visit home
I leave you everything, and most importantly, I leave you the ability to see me everytime you see yourself, so you will know that you are forever”

ARIES

you’re brave and insightful and rash
no one can take that away from you
they don’t have the right
and they never will

TAURUS

you’ll exist until the bitter end
stubborn and a survivor
there is nothing in this world that can bring you down
but yourself

GEMINI

you are a storm disguised as a cloudy evening
the comedic and tragic masks of theater
in a universe where the inhabitants are boring
you are a bright light

CANCER

i’m sorry for the rupture
in your peaceful, loving home
i’m sorry for the shattering of a safe world
i’m proud that you are the only one strong enough to put it back together now

LEO

your exuberance is legendary
be aware
be alive
they cannot steal your radiance

VIRGO

a keen mind
lovely lips forming words of holy prayers to peace
you were robbed
but they cannot take your grace, my love

LIBRA

you tried your best
you are not bad for doing what it right to recover
you deserve it
you need help as much as everyone else does

SCORPIO

silent as a statue
you bear it all with stoic, strong shoulders
it is okay to cry
recovery is not weakness

SAGITTARIUS

i trust your poetry and drive
i trust your strength and capability
one day there will be a time for you to trust that too
just wait

CAPRICORN

after a lifetime of shouldering other people’s problems
know that that is a good thing
but self-care is a good thing too
and there is a peace in balance

AQUARIUS

let your sympathy go
they don’t deserve it after what they did to you
you can make yourself the priority now
i give you permission

PISCES

it is not your fault
you were not weak or stupid
you have a big heart
and I’m proud of you for it
