Firstly, I have ended my experimentation on 'healing ideas'. Along the lines of where my intuitions were clearly carrying me.
I was reading this book, which was one I brought more than a decade ago, to look into this area:
An avid leftist this woman is. Although she has toned it down since I checked her blog about five years ago. The first chapter references Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Coleman as a good book.
Nevertheless, the woman has a skill. She used to be very into energy work which was where I originally found her. She wrote a fantastic book which is still in print despite the fact she no longer believes energy work is real!
Anyway, so I started reading this and she speaks well and informatively about how emotions work. She starts talking about how emotions can go two ways but we often need to put them along a kind of 'middle way'. So people either repress their emotions, perhaps intending to deal with them later. Or they release them all the time and at inappropriate times. The example she gave, which is quite fitting to the current news cycle. Is getting angry at a baby.
She says it is never appropriate to get angry at a baby so you need a third avenue. To channel the emotions somehow... You know... Like music! Then when it got to the part where it talks about exercises to access your emotions... Well I could go no further with this book. If my life has given me the perfect way to access my emotions, like I talked about. It is also the only real way I have been able to access my emotions my whole life. Meditation, dream interpretation and the gym are close seconds. Then it seems pretty obvious that music is the way, and it is not useful to pursue other avenues.
It also feels mildly cowardly to avoid music as an avenue for this, and also lazy, since gaining in music ability to make songs is hard work. The feelings that come out in music are raw and create vulnerability. For instance, I have a song about my sister. It expresses a lot of loving feelings for her. About a sense of misery I have at watching her get lost in politics. I have attempted to excise any positive feeling I have for my sister, with all sorts of ideas and philosophies, because I feel her to be contemptuous of me, the affection I feel is... unreturned, as though I were a nuisance; I have not been able to communicate with her. But the music tells the truth.
The 12th of August Eclipse:
I believe this to be very significant and will lay out how I think it is working in our lives and in my life:
The aspects for the Sun and Earth:
Sun: 4.2: The recognition of limitation in oneself and others leads to tolerance and the suspension of judgement.
Earth 49.2: The potential to explore every possibility before rejecting.
It is also worth referencing the entire thing. Conjunct the South Node in Leo would be about expressing warmth and heart but that not being useful. That being an aspect 'of the past'.
The Sun in gate 4.2 has been very strongly something I have talked about here recently. Recently, I have been reacquainted with a close friend I have known VERY well. Someone I know a great deal of their backstory and how they have acted since they were about four years old. Someone that I would know if they were lying. The realisation I have gotten from this is the reality of mental health issues, like autism and ADHD. I am the kind of person that would not dismiss out of hand the idea that a lot of people talking of these issues are lying for personal gain - as does happen, and as is discussed. But in this case, I know the person well enough.
The day itself, in the eclipse. I was near a landmark that people were going to to view this eclipse. Hundreds of people. Probably thousands actually. A whole long road with people camped along the whole thing even before you get to the landmark.
I saw a lot of young people, a lot of couples. A lot of examples of the social experiences I have missed. Hanging out with groups of mixed gender friends.
The gate 49 is the one that very strongly shows this feeling. I used to get very paranoid around concepts like these. About being deliberately socially ostracised and while I cannot remember exact instances. I suspected strongly the gate 49 is the part of the chart relevant to these feelings for me. I have the 19 hanging on an undefined root in the conscious Earth. Undefined often means it needs support from the world.
I do not know precisely what that precise line means. But I know the general area it is talking to. The general area is this entire area of socialising.
To me, it is likely letting go of all this stuff. Even though I have talked about letting go of precisely this. It is easier to make up stories you don't know if they are true when you are not in contact with people. The changes in my life show that this is now becoming a real thing. Letting go of the past... Or not.
Reflection onto my personal chart:
Obviously the points in this chart effect us personally. My conscious Mars is in gate 4.1. So just next to the Eclipse Sun here. What I think this is, has a huge effect on, is my philosophy, and my investigation and commitment to philosophy.
Before in my life, as I have previously mentioned here. I read the Law of One, but did not deeply research it and apply it. I also was very connected to David Wilcocks ideas on everything. So all my 'spiritual energy', or maybe it is 'mental energy'. Got lost in unproductive mad thoughts like that. But now that cerebral energy is very relevant to the world. When people bring up moral issues. Which are most of life it sometimes seems. I can run it through philosophy. Which is, ironically, a far more solid contribution to any discussion than conspiracy.
This is a big change which might reflect on all these things. Ultimately, what I now know. Is that as desireable and sweet as those social connections are. Many, many of them are traps waiting to happen because people don't have a solid commitment to virtue.
It definitely changes the interaction. Before, I was me and my life force and no real standards. But with the addition of the philosophy, including a proper understanding of the Law of One. There is a change there. Which effects all these issues a great deal.
The coming Eclipse:
Sun: 59.6: The tendency based on personality or circumstances to accept only temporary unions that may be otherwise impossible or dangerous to continue. - The power of intimacy regardless of conditions.
Earth 55.6: The possibility of finding the spirit through materialism.
The goal and mythology of astrology. If astrology was put into a fiction film for instance. Is the accurate and prophetic accounting of the things that are going to happen. Like, what a Nostradamus prophecy is meant to be.
In practice, I have found that to be close to impossible. Perhaps I am not yet experienced enough for that. Or perhaps it is not possible? It is unlikely I would have had the foresight to explain that entire chain of reasoning on the August 12th eclipse had I not had the experience I had had on August 12th.
Gate 55 is not connected to anything in my chart. I do not recall a single experience or awareness I have had around the gate 55. Mars in the gate 39 energising transiting Earth in gate 55 should be quite intense, Gate 59 is a little different. People with the gate 59, they do dissolve those barriers.
These transits could be a movement that makes something new over the failed previous social energies. An entirely new social direction not related to all those thoughts. A relationship perhaps. Not encased in a larger friend group.
But, I don't know how it will manifest. This ends my thoughts on these transits.
