Here goes. Twenty-nine years ago I reached out for help. I was drowning in Post Traumatic Stress, self-hatred, shame, obsession, addictions (co-dependence, food, love, cigarettes, alcohol--whatever kept the feelings and physical pain at bay).

Collectively we are at a crossroads, and are being asked to embrace our emotional intelligence, emotional flexibility, emotional resonance, and emotional courage. Astrology and psychology offer a profound mirror into one's personal dynamics and soul patterns. It's been an amazing tool for me all these years, and when coupled with the Higher Mind--Higher Consciousness we are transformed, not by bypassing the emotional body, which much of astrology and even spirituality advocates, but by integrating all these avenues within the psyche, within the body-mind heart-spirit and soul consciousness. I can say this because I've lived it, I've learned it, I've studied it, and mostly because I've courageously braved it. I invite you to join me here at RoseLight-Healing, in membership, or through our individual offerings to embrace where the truth of who you are has been side-stepped, out of fear, shame, guilt, from past events, past dynamics that stifled your emotional growth and your emotional courage, to fill-up and fill-out into You--the wholeness of YOU.

Today I'm in a very different place, albeit going around the wheel once more healing (always a learning process for me) at another core level, releasing all the pain and emotions I stuffed in early life with drugs, sugar and fantasy. Through the EMDR process, and having the courage to feel the grief and abandonment terror, and stick with the process, and reach out, as needed, to non-judgmental friends who are not bypassing the emotional body, to address the unmet emotional needs from childhood (and soul patterns), rather than continually project them unconsciously onto someone else. This is where I've been the last few weeks.

January 20, 2019 we are on the precipice of the Full Moon Eclipse (in Leo), though I'm feeling the precipice of Moon in Cancer in opposition to Capricorn stellium (Saturn, Mercury, Pluto, South Node) and Mars in Aries having squared Saturn and the Cancer Moon prior to exact eclipse. What does all that mean? The nodal axis changes collectively every 18 months, and we are currently in a Cancer/Capricorn axis. Key words for both archetypes are family structures, parenting, boundaries (emotional and physical), government, business, money...and much more. Cancer is the North Node point, which suggests we must be focused on our emotional containers, our sense of nurturance to ourselves, family and country. The South Node in Capricorn represents parental and societal influences, how they shaped us, and do they still have dominion in how we care for ourselves, for good or ill (many times it's both and that's what we can unravel now). Real intimacy, when there has been wounding, is rare. Most of us are learning what intimacy is. In the recovery world we say intimacy is in-to-me-see, first, then we can be intimate with the world or others. But it's not that cut and dry, or simple. Love and relationships can be messy, overwhelming and wonderful.

The inspiration to write this has been building up. Following the cue, from spontaneous memories arising lately, to begin in earnest EMDR (which I'm finding immensely helpful) the awareness of the depth of the unmet needs, and how utterly alone I felt, is being revealed. Which is leading me to fully realize and integrate how much trauma there was, and how to go forward meeting the inner needs calling out.

Why is this important for me? In Evolutionary Astrology we look at the house placement of Pluto, first and foremost when we look at a soul's chart. Pluto, in my natal chart, is in the 4th house, the house of Cancer (the womb, the mother, the home, the container for nurturance, the emotional body) and is coupled with numerous dynamic-intense planetary influences. Here what Jeffrey Wolf Green in Pluto I says about 4th house Pluto: All fourth house Pluto individuals will experience the full spectrum of emotions, moods and feelings in the most intense possible way. Every emotion is deeply felt. Because the intrinsic nature of Pluto is to understand the why of anything, each mood/feelings/emotion is intensely focused upon. This fixation can be so total that the person can appear paralyzed and unable to act in any way other than the particular emotion dictates...These moods feelings emotions originate from unconscious depths just like the seething lava beneath a volcano...

Dr. Philip Princetta's Emotional Connection between body and mind

Even Cigna Health Insurance is acknowledging the importance of our emotions, in relation to our overall health and wellness. I saw their TV commercial this weekend, with a young man encouraging us to tell our doctor when we feel emotionally unwell. I liked the ad, though isn't there more we can do than talk with our doctor and go on anti-depressants? I'm not saying not to do these things. I am suggesting that we empower ourselves by exploring our inner-world, and learn what makes us tick, what makes us the way we are (our astrological make-up is astounding when we begin to understand it, and our emotions).

Bypassing is very common. One way bypassing the emotional body manifests is by clinging onto others, always have to reach outside of the self to get away from the present moment. What does this look like? For some it manifest as cording into others (especially if Scorpio signature is present), sucking (Cancer) on them for emotional comfort (this can be conscious or unconscious), i.e., emotional vampires. The other way it typically manifests is energetic and physical postures, such as collapsing within. Many of us with unmet mothering/fathering needs develop coping mechanisms, such as hiding within the psyche. In somatic psychology this is well known. The Cancerian archetype will cope by being protective, defensive, hiding in its shell, being crabby (ha!) and moody, with definite needs for alone alone time (just as Capricorn needs).

(for each soul it will show up very specifically in health (physical and emotional) relative to ruler of the chart, ruler of Pluto and all aspects it and the nodes make (we will explore this deeply in the forum discussions and trainings) If you're interested in exploring your archetypal Cancer Capricorn dynamics, your emotional patterns, and are seeking to Brave into a whole new you, I invite you to check out our offerings and our membership community. And Happy New Year - there is much brewing!
