As an Aquarius baby myself, thank you for your post. It cracked my heart open and warmed it at the same time. Knowing how intentional you were in your intention to connect and learn more about them. Reading about how your body keeps a reminded through your curls. Thank you for your potent words. I wish you whatever you need today. 🩵🫂
