In Taurus Season, we experience Solar medicine and Lunar healing (the Moon's exaltation in Taurus). Where the Taurus-Scorpio axis is in your chart reveals where you experience the poison and the medicine. And thus, the House of Taurus is where you experience Solar + Lunar healing this season.
Thank you, yes this all happened years ago when I was new to spirituality. My practice and beliefs are steady now.
Oh yes, it is confining and isolating (an abuse tactic), and is related to Intimate Partner Violence being a 1:1 cult.
Now I surround myself with people who accept my beliefs - and continue to meet people who share them. I'm free to express my spirituality as boldly as I'd like. I get to help people with my spiritual knowledge and experience. And I still pray. 🖤
Perhaps it's my 12H Sagittarius, but spiritual freedom is one of the most important aspects of my life today. This freedom has required 12H isolation and self-undoing, removing myself from the very relationships that used to define me, and moving to CA, where I am a relocated Sag Rising.
My relationship to spirituality was shaped and changed by these experiences. I followed my heart and inner truth even as these men tried to cage me and my beliefs. My relationship to the spiritual - to myself - is greater. And it's something I've fought tooth and nail for.
Another ex-partner, who I thought was my twin flame, prevented me from working or speaking with others about spirituality. He controlled me with our shared spirituality - after all, only 'he' could understand me. And no one else understood our special connection. But it wasn't divine. It was abuse.
My ex-husband ridiculed my beliefs. He laughed in my face when I did magic. He accused me of being a fraud because I was a successful spiritual professional. He claimed that I thought he was going to Hell, even though I have never been a Christian or worked with that God.
'You even ruined God for me, but I still try to pray.' I've been sitting with these lyrics all week, turning them over in my mind like a palm stone, hoping they'll reveal why the words hit me so hard. And that's when I finally named my experience - 'spiritual abuse.'
Because I have a Libra MC, it's possible that I will also be projected upon in this space, but I trust that my people will find me here. Neptune is delusion, but also dreams, and my dream is to be seen and accepted for who I really am in my fullest authenticity. Manifesting this with Venus Direct. 🙏
During this Venus Rx, I let go of a 'best friend' who projected their wounds and delusions onto me. I realized that this pattern has followed me my entire life, in my family, with friends, at work, and in my marriage. The people closest to me are the ones who see me the least.
Neptunic, 7H, 12H, Libra, and Pisces people experience a ~mirror effect~ where our very selves are refracted and projected upon by others. People see the best and worst of themselves in our mirror, placing us on an impossible pedestal or stripping us down because of their misperceived reality.
Chiron in Aries is opposing the Moon in Libra - shining a hot spotlight on wounds relating to the self (Aries) and relationships to others (Libra).
This Full Moon is the final hurrah of Venus Rx - and a chance to move through our wounds and onto better things.
This weekend's Full Moon at 23° Libra coincides with Venus going Direct. After a period of setbacks, revelations, and frustrations in Retrograde and Eclipse Season, things are finally clearing up - but this clarity comes with a Chironic cost.
The Pisces ('everything') and Aries ('just me') push-pull forces us to consider our individual place and responsibility in the collective.
If we are a part of everything, then we are responsible for everything.
With Neptune in Aries, our values and dreams for the future are fresh and HOT-TO-GO!
During this Venus Rx, Neptune moved into Aries and is part of the Venus Rx story.
With Neptune now in hot-and-ready-to-burst Aries, the Piscean bubble of the past - old values and spiritual escapism - is already bursting.
Our eyes are still open - but the scope has been pulled back, at least until Venus goes Direct (April 12) and re-enters Aries (April 30).
As the zodiac's secret healer, Pallas in Leo heals through art, pleasure, and play; creative impulse and stress reduction through various art forms.
Cancer is sensitive to the surrounding environment, so a cozy home is key. Cancer folks are also particularly attuned to crystals, so adding crystals to the Cancer Pallas home provides potent healing.
As the zodiac's secret healer, Pallas in Cancer expresses itself through environmental healing, particularly in comfortable and secure spaces.
For Pallas in Gemini, storytelling is the vehicle for inner and outer transformation and healing. Words, whether written or read, are the channel, the touch point, and the figurative laying of hands. Gemini Pallas individuals have a proclivity for writing and can be avid readers.
As the zodiac's secret healer, Pallas in Gemini heals through writing, poetry, storytelling, and affirmations. Words are their literal superpower.
As the zodiac's secret healer, Pallas in Taurus heals through connection to nature: gardening, herbal and folk remedies, and spending time outdoors.
I've also seen body modification being particularly healing for Aries Pallas' sense of identity and self expression: tattoos, piercings, and electional surgeries (especially when identity affirming).
hand-smithed rings from the local market 🌝
But Pallas Athene also represents healing - and I believe Pallas is the "secret healer" of the zodiac representing where we are healed through transformation of the mind, body, or spirit.
The Pallas Athene asteroid reflects goddess Athena's mercurial intellect, her venusian diplomacy, and the martian resolve to fight for what one believes in; to fight for the good of humanity. Like its goddess counterpart, Pallas Athene symbolizes wisdom and creative intelligence.
Asteroids are a deep and powerful look into the birth chart, the psyche, and the transits that we experience. With asteroids, we explore the mythos of ourselves through the astrological mirror.
Happy early Solar Return 🌞
hands off ✋🚫 is Neptune in Aries at work
