Has anyone else ever been in the situation where many people from your past, and therefore unresolved situations you had with them, came back into your life, and the Universe gave you a chance to remedy it by creating more positive connections here and now? I almost wonder if it's a certain transit I'm going through, because right now alot of people from high school (keep in mind I only graduated 2 years ago, but it seems like an eternity) have resurfaced in my life, and I was given the Unviveral choice to reach out, or remain in the shadows, nursing old wounds, and biases I held against them for things that happened a good number of years ago.I chose to reconnect, without expectations, jus tbeing myself, and it has been ultimately so freeing. I've had some conversations I never imagined, mainly for their clarity, it's gotten my to wondering how much of the drama I actually created, held onto, and refused to see past when I knew them in HS. Maybe they weren't as "against" me as I might have believed...or perhaps, we've simply all grown up and realized it is worthwhile to let old baggage die, or there's a chance we'll miss out on something special, a friendship that is priceless, and nurtured by shared experiences, no matter what crowd we were blending in with when they happened. There's something inherently beautiful about having people in your life who've known or been around through all your gorwing up years, and can laugh at the same jokes, and stupidities. My ponderings,

I think someone else made mention of reconnecting with people and the meaning of it - well at least, they were talking about how they have been connecting with people of a particular sign and i thought - ok, if i think on it, there is some reasoning/circumstances that seem to repeat/reflect this as far as connecting/reconnecting goings on in my life. just like your quote says:"Most people love with restraint
As if they were someday to hate
We hated gently, carefully
As if we were someday to love"- Where there is restraint, there is usually a test or a opportunity to let go of that restraint to move on and not stay in that frame of mind - for better or worse, because a lot of the restraint has to do with fear or past experience where we made a mental judgment that doesn't necessarily apply to all situations. even the things we made a decision never to subject ourselves to come to haunt us and give us the opportunity to reconsider. a lot of times when that happens and we decide to face it instead, i think we then begin to move forward with our lives with not only a view of what if we do it this "new" way but what if we did it that way again - choices, options, etc.. i'm glad you made the decision to confront this instead of remain chained to past hurts. in this, i feel that you have made the choice to move forward and positive results may come from this, new experiences, and more choices/opportunities. i remember when we were speaking about mercury last month (?) I'm glad you are happy with your actions. IP: Logged |

Very good point about the the restraint stemming from fear or past expereince...oddly enough, sometimes the past experience is based on past ways the same person used to treat us, which we may or may not have known how to handle. It's entirely possible that in these past experiences, we totally read into something negatively, which in retrospect was just an immature action on their part.
Thanks for discussing this topic with me, amisha  .Anyone Else wanna talk?? ------------------

Hey VAAWell so many of us have ghosts we will have to face at some point or another.
My strategy has always been escape, and then healing and forgiving in solitude, hopefully many miles and many summers away.
I don't know..I have this sick attraction to estrangement. And disappearing. But then it does depend on the circumstances of the fallout. With some people, you chose to fall out of touch with good reason, and maybe it's best to keep it so.
I admire that you've faced your ghosts, and quite quickly too..before they even became ancient history. Clearly, the "universe" wanted to you do it that way. And you read the signs.
I know what you mean about having friends you've grown up with. It's incredibly valuable. There is a certain kind of connection there that's difficult, at best, to have with someone you meet as an adult. I always tell my best friend- there's something to be said for the fact that we've known each other since before we got our periods, or breasts, or (adult) problems.

With my Moon in Cancer, I've often struggled with always wanting to "go back" and get one more eagle eye view of it all. Most times, I'm unable to make that happen, and/or, most times I find that for the sake of my health, I must LEARN TO MOVE ON.Virgo-AriesArtist - I'm really glad it turned out to be a positive experience for you. Would anyone say that the Moon would have more to do with how you deal with memories? It seems so for me since it's in Cancer, and maybe I struggle with them so much because of all the harsh Aspects to my Moon - Moon Square Mars
Moon Opposition Jupiter
Moon Opposition Saturn
Moon Sextile Ascendant (Wearing my heart on my sleeve) I think this is one of the main reasons why writing is so important to me, as it is an outlet for me to "wash it out of my hair"... Too bad my Moon is Opposite my Jupiter & Saturn in Capricorn which are in my 9th House, which is also an indicator of furthering ones education, philosophy, and writing. They are even Opposite by House, as my Moon in Cancer is in my 3rd House, which is the House of Communication.
