'The Wounded Angel' 1903 Hugo Simberg {{PD-Art}}
We start the 14th with the Cancer Moon conjunct the South Node and trine Chiron; this might make for a very nostalgic period. If you’re awake, you’re yearning, if you’re asleep, you’re re-hashing the past–and it can be very moving, bringing the tenderest emotions to the surface, and possibly healing an old hurt.
Relief (or, significant distraction!) comes with the Moon’s opposition to Pluto, Vesta, and then Venus (stretching a full 12 hours, 8:30 AM PST to 8:30 PM) bringing that emotional tumult of earlier to the edge, straight to the deep, to connection with what we honor, the home, or the sex life, and then pitting the emotional picture against relationships and/ or finances as they exist–which can make for a jolt, after our journey to the depths and through some of the most vital areas of our lives. This can bring a new perspective to our closest interactions, and can result in changes based purely on our personal emotional odyssey–and that means that others may not understand (but then you have to ask, do they need to?)

ok I’m carrying a lot of guilt it runs in the family, maybe i give up thinking. Today is very, ‘now what’ after Aries blasts through and things look pretty much the same only worse. I found what works in my life is to blame everything on myself, not that i enjoy others problems, (sorrow) but wallowing in my own is great indoor sport. Today it will actually get above 30 degrees F, fst time in 6 weeks.
“great indoor sport”–Lucy, you always know how to say it!

I can strongly feel the Cancer energy this morning and I’m wondering what the afternoon might bring to the table through this series of oppositions. Let’s hope it’ll be relief.

When someone accepts all the responsibility for the negative situations one finds oneself in is there could be a ‘creeping martyrdom’ that accumulates. I have found when I’m in a situation of concern, rather than accept all of the responsibility, I’ll say to myself “Take 50% until more is understood.” For one thing, the fact it’s happening to me I’ll take responsibility for being in that experience. How much responsibilty? Well 50% right off the top. By accepting some responsibility for all that happens to us, it lifts the burden of creation and shares it around, so to speak. If I need to accept 100% for something, okay, though it’s not always easy to see yourself in that light.
I would say that true responsibility does not allow for martyrdom, as being a martyr is casting oneself as a victim. Certainly, responsibility is not the same as culpability, either–it truly is the ability to respond, to say ‘I did it,’ and to accept the consequences–so in my view, one is either one hundred percent responsible within the framework of one’s life, or not able to accept responsibility at all.

what the picture said to me was little boys carrying guilt. 7 is the age of reason, (1-7 age of inocence). 7 + we feel guilt, know right from wrong. children are angles until then.
