Letter from Virgo to Leo:

Greetings, Leo,

I hope this message finds you in good spirits and that your duties within the realm are being fulfilled smoothly. I wanted to speak with you directly, but I felt that writing this letter might allow us both to consider things calmly before addressing them in person. Sometimes it’s easier for me to express my feelings in writing, so I hope you’ll bear with me.

First, I want to acknowledge the immense effort you’ve put into your role. You’ve shown great strength and dedication, both in maintaining order within our shared lands and in upholding your own ideals. I recognize the burden you carry, and I appreciate the contributions you’ve made, even when things have been challenging. We’ve all been through much, and it’s vital that we continue supporting one another, even in the face of disagreement.

However, there is a matter that needs your attention. Capricorn has returned to my kingdom, seeking refuge and with the intention of helping me stabilize the land. He’s returned humbled, ready to be of service, and eager to contribute where he can. I know this news might stir up some emotions given the clash you two had last time, but he is not here to disrupt anything. His focus is on assisting me and aiding with the delicate matters at hand.

I understand how strained things became during your last encounter, and I recognize why tensions flared. Capricorn’s manner of speech—formal, intellectual, and at times rigid—can be difficult to receive. It can come across as condescending, even when he doesn’t intend it that way. But please know, Leo, that this is not an affront to you or your rule. He approaches the world differently, like a traveler from a distant land who is still adjusting to the ways of this realm. This adjustment period will require patience from all of us, but I believe it’s possible if we approach it with grace.

The celestial forces grant us grace each day, and we must strive to extend that same grace to one another. We all bear our own burdens, histories, and karmic ties, but forgiveness is a virtue that frees us from being bound by past grievances. Just as the stars move in cycles, we too must allow for renewal in our interactions. Forgiveness, compassion, and patience are what we need now.

Leo, I also know that change can be unsettling, especially when it comes to how things are done within your realm. The way Capricorn organizes tasks, his methods, and his overall approach might differ from what you’re accustomed to. But this is an opportunity for all of us to practice flexibility and understanding. We each have our unique strengths, and I truly believe that if we come together with empathy and a willingness to listen, we can make this coexistence work.

I ask only that we try to communicate with respect and calmness, even when tensions rise. I know this isn’t easy, especially given everything you manage, but I am hoping we can create a harmonious environment where everyone’s contributions are valued. This is a shared space, and it’s important that all perspectives are acknowledged.

Lastly, Leo, I want you to know that my intention here is peace and unity. I want to prevent further conflict and ensure that we all can move forward with mutual respect. I understand that there are past wounds and unresolved emotions, but we must not let those dictate the future. Let us try to rebuild trust, not through force or demands, but through compassion and understanding.

I’m always here to discuss this whenever you’re ready. My hope is that we can find a way to work together that honors all of our strengths without overshadowing anyone’s voice.

In the light of the stars,

Virgo

Letter from Virgo to Capricorn:

Hey Capricorn,

First of all, I want to say how much I appreciate everything you’re doing to help around the kingdom. I know things have been tough lately, and it really means a lot that you’re stepping up. We’re all trying to figure this out together, so I wanted to touch base on a few things so we’re all on the same page.

Right now, until we can get your birthright, crown, and scepter sorted out, we’re working with limited resources and supplies. I know you’ve been cooking and sharing food, which is great, but we need to be mindful of what we have available. I have specific dietary needs due to my health conditions, and there are certain foods I must avoid. Sagittarius, too, has their own dietary needs to consider, so we have to be careful with our provisions.

It would be really helpful if, when something runs out, you could add it to the list on the scroll in the kitchen—especially tea, soup, and honey, since we rely on those when we’re ill. They’re crucial, so keeping track of when they’re low will help us make sure we always have them on hand.

I’ll also be labeling Leo’s supplies in the kitchen because she needs them for her personal needs. Anything that’s common food won’t be labeled, but anything that shouldn’t be touched will be clearly marked. Also, please avoid using the syrup meant for special occasions—it’s reserved for those events, and we only have a limited amount.

I want you to feel comfortable here, and I’m planning to get you your own set of supplies so that everyone has their own things. I know it can be easy to grab what’s available, but I’ll make sure you have what you need. I’m also planning to get you a cart for easier transport of your belongings. Once you get your birthright and things in order, if you ever want to move on, it’ll make it easier for you. In the meantime, I’ll be visiting different trading posts on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays when I don’t have other duties, so we can stock up and make sure there’s enough for everyone.

I know this is a lot to manage, and I don’t want to sound like I’m nagging—just trying to share some of our little quirks so you’re aware of them. Your help really makes a difference, and I want to show my appreciation for everything you’re doing. We’re all adjusting to each other’s ways, and I’m confident we can make it work by communicating and understanding each other’s needs.

Thanks again for everything you do. Let’s keep talking and figuring things out together.

Virgo

Leo’s Response to Virgo:

Dear Virgo,

Thank you for reaching out and letting me know about Capricorn’s return. Honestly, I’m glad he’s back. I never wanted him to leave in the first place. What I wanted was for him to feel happy and content being among us, not just going through the motions. But he needs to understand that he isn’t the only one who has been on a journey. We’ve all had our struggles, and it’s not just about what happened in the past—it’s about how we move forward.

I’ve carried many responsibilities over the years: leader, protector, guide, and strategist. I’ve worn multiple crowns to keep this realm running smoothly, working tirelessly to maintain order. So it’s frustrating when someone steps into our domain and disrupts the harmony we’ve worked so hard to establish. Capricorn needs to realize that this isn’t just about him. He can’t come in and shake up everything without considering the impact on everyone else.

Before we move forward, we need to understand what his needs are and figure out how we can help him without compromising the order here. There’s no way we can avoid a proper council meeting. Until that happens, I won’t be comfortable with this situation.

Virgo, I love you deeply, but you need to understand that I’ve played a pivotal role in this realm. I won’t be dismissed or disregarded. I’m not just another player in this cosmic game—I’m not a pawn or some minor figure. I’ve guided this kingdom through trials, upheld our legacy, and ensured that our traditions and values remain intact.

You, more than anyone, should understand that I’m not just another ruler. I’m the one preserving our ancestral wisdom and ensuring it’s passed down through generations. If you don’t see my role as the head of this family, then that’s where the real problem lies. You are the firstborn, the one named in honor of those who came before us. You carry the essence of our lineage, and with that comes the responsibility to uphold respect and order.

Let me be clear: everyone needs to know their position. I’ll be returning at dusk, and I expect us to convene at the earliest possible moment. You’ll mediate this discussion—either we establish clear roles and boundaries, or we risk dismantling the harmony we’ve built. This isn’t a threat; it’s a necessity if we’re to bring about the changes you seek.

I’m serious, Virgo—mediation is the only way forward. You’ll be the one setting the process. I want this meeting to be concise and focused. Draw up an agenda, and make sure we each have a copy, even Marianna. You understand the mental and emotional dynamics here better than I do, so it’s on you to make this happen as soon as possible.

I appreciate your efforts to communicate, and I’m looking forward to hearing your response before I return. We’re all busy, but this is important.

One last thing—you love to write, and I love to speak. I’m willing to compromise for your sake, but the face-to-face discussion must happen soon. It’s your responsibility to lay out the mediation process, keeping it straightforward and efficient.

Thanks again for reaching out. I look forward to our next steps.

With determination,

Leo

Letter from Virgo to Leo:

Hi Leo,

I hear that you have a lot of feelings about this situation and that you want to make sure your role is respected. I want to be clear, though, that while I value your contributions and understand your perspective, this is my kingdom. I’m currently managing it under very limited resources, which means neither you nor Capricorn are officially part of the governing structure. I’ve allowed you both to stay because I care about you and want to help, but this is still my domain. For this arrangement to work, we need to set some clear boundaries and work together in a way that doesn’t lead to conflict or disrespect.

When it comes to Capricorn, I need us to approach this with understanding. As I mentioned before, he’s had a long journey and his way of doing things is different. He’s not intentionally causing disruption; he’s trying to adapt to an environment that’s new for him. Just like someone coming from a different culture, he needs time and guidance, not confrontation. If we want to move forward peacefully, we have to be willing to meet each other halfway.

Regarding the home meeting, I’m willing to organize it, but it’s important that we go into it with the understanding that this is my kingdom, and any decisions we make have to reflect that reality. I’m open to mediation, but the purpose needs to be about setting respectful boundaries that we all agree to follow.

Lastly, I understand you have strong feelings about your role and contributions, but comments about leaving and never being heard from again are hurtful and unproductive. We all want to make this work, and the focus should be on cooperation and grace, not ultimatums.

I’ll follow up with a time for the meeting and a short agenda to keep things organized. I’m hoping we can approach this with patience and understanding so that everyone feels respected and we can move forward in a positive way.

Love,

Virgo

Leo’s Response to Virgo:

This is why I ask you to read the message with UNDERSTANDING, which maybe you TRULY didn’t grasp... But that’s another chapter for another book 🤔🤨.

A lot of things have been hurtful to me, but again, I’m an ELDER, and that’s what I was trying to get you to understand. If you don’t get that, that’s where the problem lies. I WILL NOT BE TREATED AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT OR AS EQUAL TO ANYONE ELSE... and that is my point. YES, it is your kingdom, which is why I asked you to set up a mediation right away. I chose to live with you to save resources and support you in managing your kingdom. I could have left long ago and claimed my rightful place elsewhere... So your kingdom is not the issue. If you don’t understand WHO I AM, I will leave and not return. THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING... If you don’t UNDERSTAND WHO I AM...

I hope you NOW understand.

Okay,

Leo

Letter from Virgo to Leo:

Hi Leo,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I want to address a few important points to ensure we understand each other and work towards a solution that respects everyone’s needs.

I appreciate the support you’ve provided, and I understand that you have contributed significantly. However, it’s important for me to also have space to manage my responsibilities and make decisions for my own kingdom, including the support I provide to Sagittarius.

While your help is valuable, it’s crucial that we find a way to respect my role and autonomy within my own domain. Financial support should not come with conditions that undermine my ability to manage my kingdom and make decisions for my family. I need to break out of a cycle where financial contributions are used to exert control.

To ensure that we address everyone’s concerns effectively and that the meeting is constructive, I would feel more comfortable having a celestial mediator assist us. My anxiety and stress levels are currently very high, and having someone with expertise in navigating cosmic conflicts would help facilitate a smoother and more balanced discussion. If arranging for such a mediator is not feasible, I would unfortunately not be able to attend the meeting.

It’s important for us to have a respectful and productive conversation about our roles and contributions. Just as I need to respect your role and contributions, I also need you to understand my position and the challenges I face. It’s not about dismissing anyone's contributions, but rather about finding a balance where everyone’s needs are met.

I will arrange for a meeting to discuss these concerns in detail and to ensure that we all understand each other’s needs. This meeting will focus on finding solutions that respect everyone’s roles and contributions while maintaining my ability to manage my own kingdom.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work towards a resolution.

Love,

Virgo

Conclusion

In the end, after many moments of tension and misunderstanding, Capricorn and Leo found a path to reconciliation. It wasn’t easy for either of them, as their personalities and past experiences had led them down different roads. However, they both recognized that for the sake of Virgo—who had been caught between their conflicts—it was time to make a change. Leo, with their fiery nature, and Capricorn, with their steadfastness, decided to pull each other aside for a genuine conversation. They acknowledged their differences but, more importantly, began to see the value in using empathy, at least attempting to understand the other’s point of view.

Although disagreements still arise, there is now an underlying respect in their interactions. They both know that growth takes time and that true understanding requires patience. Capricorn and Leo are making the effort to be more mindful of their words and actions, realizing that by doing so, they not only bring peace to themselves but also to Virgo’s home. It’s not a perfect harmony, but it’s progress—progress that allows each of them to coexist, knowing that they are stronger together, even if they don’t always see eye to eye.

However, Virgo never scheduled the mediation that was initially suggested. Leo, determined to resolve the situation quickly, expressed that a solution was needed immediately because, ultimately, this was Virgo's kingdom. Leo believed that as the ruler of her own domain, Virgo held the power to bring peace and stability. While no formal meeting took place, the conversations that unfolded between Leo and Capricorn brought about the necessary changes, showing that sometimes, progress can be made without official steps, as long as the desire to heal is present.
