There are a few people I've let slip out of my life, and I am wondering whether I should message them on FB? I'm feeling drawn to re-examine my perceptions back in high school, mainly due to re-reading old messages and IMs and realizing I didn't see things as clearly then, when I was wrapped up in the dramatic emotions of being a :Leo: moon teenager. I felt these feelings first, then noticed we are in the start of a Venus Retrograde, and wondered what was wisest...to contact and say "Hi" or let them come back to my path in due time?

If you felt that you were in the wrong, I would make contact to 1) Clear your conscience and 2) to be the bigger person.
Don't force the issue on them...make general simple convo i.e. ask how they are doing, etc. let it all flow from there.

Hi cappy,

Thanks for responding. It's not so much that I was in the wrong, it's more that I in one case, thought I was on bad terms with someone that may not have been the case, and the second one is someone who was immature and I judged too harshly, given the fact that they sent a belated apology through a mutual friend (in the form of telling her a dream they had that they apologized and I forgave them), and I'd like to see how they are like now.

kat, don`t you dare spell "what" like that

Sure, a positive hello type conversation can`t go wrong!

Juni, you are too funny!! And you know what? Your statement actually made me double-check my previous postings as I thought *I* spelled "what" wrong

You must know a Virgo-influenced person would never resort to "text-speak" I'm the crazy person who actually uses punctuation, capitalization, and proper spelling in my text messages too....

I see the messages I'm sending being well-recieved...Visualize and Manifest....and SO it IS

Indeed, Virgo influenced folks are funny that way!

Now I am feeling weird....sent one message, but have hesitated sending the other one...why, I don't know for certain. In both cases, I feel weird sending anything at all, considering it's been nine years since we last spoke. In the case of the message I haven't sent, it is to someone I once bared my soul to in poem (the "letter/poem" for any who might remember), and never got a response. I'm merely wanting to see if we can be friends, as I always enjoyed him as a person (he was also a poet), and time has passed, so there is likely a maturity in us both. I guess it feels awkward saying "How are you doing? What have you been up to lately?". My husband says if someone contacted him like that out of the blue, he'd wonder what they wanted...::shrugs::

Kat, you reached out with good intentions. That is all you are responsible for. Their reaction is theirs ... You did a positive thing and that is all for you to dwell on

We are never responsible for anothers reactions/behaviors. Don`t carry the extra baggage.

Juni,

So if it feels awkward, is it Fate stepping in and saying not to contact that person? I talked at length with a friend last night about it, and as she pointed out, it would stir up a lot of memories for me, and that may not be easy to deal with...

Do we all have to truly find peace/closure with our past, or do we simply relegate it to a corner and deal with it only if it reappears in our lives in a concrete way?

As an aside, I **just** noticed Retrograde transiting Venus is about to conjunct my natal Chiron (in Gemini) in the 3rd house, so mayhap that is my clue that communication is a good idea and cleansing the past wounds will benefit all involved...

It's been feeling for the last week or so that the Universe is picking at all my old scabs, you know, the things you were convinced you dealt with, and the ones that cut the deepest, but hey, you are all healed up and immunized to that, right?

Hello Fellow Knowflakes,

I did reach out and he seemed pleasantly surprised, but responded and now we are conversing again

I'm so relieved and feel emotionally and physically lighter!!

Thanks for the support and encouragement
