Dear _____
First of all, I want to thank you for feeling you can reach out to me. I know we have known each other for a long time, but I understand the particular circumstances that you are undergoing now. And may seem a strange thing, astrologically speaking, that all of this is being set off by Jupiter in Pisces: a strong placement for the most “good guy/Santa Claus” of all the planets, isn’t it?
(No matter what transits are happening, how they play out in your life depends on your individual birth chart. Write me with your date, time, and place of birth — and I’ll send you a copy and a free sneak preview!)
Even though there are “standard interpretations” of what any given transit is supposed to do, so often it simply boils down to the details of an individual’s life. For example, transiting Jupiter has just entered Pisces and for the most part that is (allegedly) a good thing.
…But that means that Jupiter is square your natal Mercury and Nodes. This is an aspect that happens one way or another about every six years. And sure enough, when I look back at your history from six years ago, there were things happening that no quick and easy “cookbook astrology” interpretation would have spotted straight off the bat.
I know you don’t like talking about this, but maybe it’s time we open up a little more about the abuse you have experienced.
Yes, I know it’s painful to have to open that up again, but it seems to me, based on my observations of you, that the demon you thought you had exorcised must feel like it has come back. A lot of the outward similarities are the same, and that must be triggering. You have a significant move coming up and there have been difficulties with your business.
Of course, on the face of it — describing it that way — makes it sound a lot less scary than it actually is for you. I knew you six years ago too, and I understand that some of the similarities to that time are triggering all the old unprocessed horror you carry from back then. And I know the circumstances that you were facing. That time left you temporarily homeless, and out of work… but you were also escaping one of the most cruel and brutal stories of psychological abuse I’ve ever personally seen. And I know none of that did absolutely anything for your pride or self confidence.
At that time you were also escaping a situation, so utterly barbaric that I know you can’t even describe it to your friends, and that even talking to a counsellor is like pulling teeth. But now is the time. Whenever you’re facing a difficult situation it’s always useful to look at the transits, and then see when the last time was any given transit was happening. Saturn is the most obvious culprit. When the average astrologer is looking at these things. This time though, Saturn and Pluto are not particular factors.
Look at the disaster you survived six years ago when you got out of the situation you were in. Yes, you had help, but there was still a heroic element to the situation on your part. You escaped. You’re alive. You are free. You can now have moments of real happiness and peace.
And yes, there is still someone out there who, given half a chance, might still want to deprive you of some or all of that. I am not going to use your abuser’s name out loud, any more than you do. So let’s just refer to (X), shall we?I know you’re still sneaking onto the internet to check out if (X) is still out there presenting the same public persona as before. And, sure enough, (X) continues to look to the general public like a wise and nurturing person. I’m sure that if we were all just our public personas, someone out there would love the thought of (X) marrying their cousin.
But this isn’t about (X) anymore. (X) is gone. (X) is done.
When Jupiter in Virgo was square your Mercury and Nodes, it presented a challenge that you overcame with flying colors. This time, the same aspect is happening, but with Jupiter in Pisces. What does that really mean though?
Personally? I say it’s time to overcome again — except this time you get to come out of it with some of your sanity and security restored. Be happy knowing this, and be brave on the path to that goal. And whenever I can? Let me help.
Your friend,
MC
