I have stated frequent disclaimers, yet here again, I state a disclaimer. I am not a therapist, but a layman on an earthly journey. I offer what I know, in hopes of making my life better, and pointing those who might need the help, into a better direction.
On the way to the beach a few weeks ago, I heard an excellent segment by someone named Robert Masters, on a book he had written called "Spiritual Bypassing". This was on an NPR program - and I have forgotten the name. In a nutshell, I agreed with much of what the man said, as I in the past have been very guilty, and still to some extent I am. Except, I keep having these Scorpio experiences which force me to confront my emotion.
"What", you say, "How could a good Taurus girl like yourself be having Scorpio Experiences?". Well, this is where it gets interesting, and this is where I have used astrology as a helper and pointer to growth, and where my soul is keeping me on track. Dark Star Astrology - http://darkstarastrology.com/ - is an excellent website. I am still trying to understand what all this means, but from the help I have gotten from the following - seems to me to be....
Sun pretty near Algol - the Medusa's head
Lilith pretty near my ascendent
Pluto Conjunct my North Node in Virgo in the Second House
Mars in Leo on the ascendent
I am still a good Taurus Girl - but i think much of this is designed to get me out of Neptunes Lair - where I can spend a lot of time. Pisces South node in the 8th house.
I have cried an ocean of tears - and then the teeth explode. This morning in the dentist chair - again.
And - what is the degree my Neptune is on Sabian Symbols? 9 degrees Scorpio "A Dentist at Work: Overcoming the Negative Results of Social Practices and Ego Cravings". Buried right there in the 4th house - and conjuncth my mother's South Node.
I have spent my whole life in the Dentist Chair. I was sitting there this morning thinking about what good Virgos that group was being, and how it was time to get real with my life lesson, again, and be grateful for it.
North Node -3 degrees Virgo "Two Guardian Angels" "Invisible help and protection in times of crises"
Pluto -5 Degrees Virgo "A man becoming aware of Nature Spirits, and normally unseen Spiritual Agencies"
Path of Fortune -1 Degree Virgo "A large white Cross dominates the landscape"
I like the book "An Astrological Mandala" by Dane Rudhyar for the sabian symbols meanings, but there are several very good books out there worth the investment and tending to the symbol.
Check out a website called "The Pluto Club" It is worth your time.

Now it gets more interesting and complicated, in that Astrologer Janet Kane, has told me that I am a Uranian, and I need to get with the program. Janet works with the Jungian therapists in the area, in order to help individuals study and understand their own life myths. I think it is time I finally go get a full reading from Janet.
I have always known that I am a Uranian, (more about that signature later) - but it is all this electrical energy, that seems to help with the Neptunian Swamp I can sometimes get stuck in, and with some of these difficult Pluto lessons. I have nothing against Neptune or Pluto - I just think a better way for me to Honor Neptune is to go visit the Ocean - where I do have a sense of Clarity.
I will probably be editing this post over the next few days, but I send it out there for now, for what it is worth. I find that it is helpful to me to study astrology, as at least it points me in a positive direction where I can start to get a clue and get out of my swamp.
Till next time,
Kat
