Now what can be in the Shadow?
The opposite sign of the zodiac is Gemini which describes a much more scattered, flighty, and talkative sign. Unlike Sagittarius, their minds are skittish with a much shorter attention span. Curious about a multitude of ideas and subjects, they learn a little about a lot earning them the title, jack-of-all-trades. Witty, smart, even brilliant although clearly fascinated by the facile as they thrive on variety and have a distinct need for constant mental stimulation however trivial.

When something occurs in the outer world as an ill-fated event, do we stop to understand the meaning or do we continue to believe we are victims, letting life go on as usual?

Our partners are unconsciously chosen in order to show us missing and mostly denied parts of ourselves.

For most of us, the word ‘curse’ brings fantastical images of black magic, witches’ cauldrons, and a little “eye of newt and toe of frog” to mind. But though we may be tempted to believe they are merely fantasy, curses can, in fact, be a very real manifestation of negative thoughts.

The sign of Libra which is the 7th sign of the zodiac (approximately Sept 23rd through October 24th) and developmentally this sign is when we begin to take others into consideration. The sign of Libra is the natural ruler of the 7th house and is the sign most interested in relating to others. Libra is also seeking to be objective as it is at the 180˚ opposition in the chart.

Most of us have heard the term projection by now, but what people do not realize is that we are not the ones who is projecting. It is not something that we do of our own volition. It is our unconscious that projects itself out onto the other person. This psychological phenomenon is what we are experiencing all the time, and it is especially important that we understand what is happening when it comes to the mating experience.

As part of our initial ego development, we each seek to embody a certain image of what we want to be and all the characteristics that could have become part of our conscious personality that we rejected early on constitute our shadow.

The sign of Virgo which is the sixth sign of the zodiac (approximately August 24th through September 23rd), and developmentally it is approximately from the ages of nineteen to twenty-six. In this insecure time of our development, we are just beginning to learn the necessary skills that will help us become productive members of society. Virgos worry obsessively about making mistakes, so their concerns are to become the efficiency expert at a chosen vocation or craft.

It is like decoding the Self to be able to see your birth chart and your partners and then talk about it. So many misunderstandings have to do with being convinced that our partners are making a mistake or doing something we think is wrong when they are only following their own unique internal energy, their most dominant elements or functions.

On the drive home from my daughter’s piano recital in Denver today, my family got caught up intently listening to an NPR program on ‘The Logic of Rage’. Several mild-mannered people told stories of how they were triggered into pure rage. So much so, that they felt like an outsider watching themselves as they lashed out in one way or another.

“The ego-conscious personality is only a part of the whole man, and its life does not yet represent his total life. … Since everything living strives for wholeness, the inevitable one-sidedness of our conscious life is continually being corrected and compensated by the universal human being in us, whose goal is the ultimate integration of conscious and unconscious, or better, the assimilation of the ego to a wider personality.”
