Closure - Being a Princess

[qos]

It feels like I've been struggling for years to move from being a Princess to being a Queen. It was like a wall that I threw myself at again and again, trying to scramble over, smash through, burrow under. . .

It's happened. I'm a Queen.

It's hard to put into words how I know this is true. Some of it comes from owning my vocation, from no longer seeking the approval or sponsorship of authority figures. Some of it comes from taking more positive but relaxed control over my Pentacles issues. I have accepted my own authority, my own responsibility.

Some of it, in ways that I really can't explain, come from the way uncrowned_king and I come together on an archetypal level, how his King energy draws out and strengthens my Queen energy. Some of it comes from the way _storyteller_ honors and interacts with my Queen energy in his own way.

Some of it, I'm sure, is simply continuing to grow and mature. But beyond that, I have come into my power. It's still fresh and new; there's a lot of learning and strengthening to come. But I'm doing it in a new mode.

The Princess is gone. The Queen has claimed her throne.
