Good evening, everyone

I'm not sure how to word this topic properly, but I'll give it a shot..

Is it possible to heal from your own negative natal aspects?

I'll use my own natal chart and experiences as a quick example: I have a very intense, yet detached chart. Scorpio stellium. Sun-Pluto/Saturn in hard aspect. Moon in hard aspect to Uranus and Neptune. Mars conjunct NN square Saturn/ conjunct Pluto..

BUT I have ALWAYS had the need to merge completely and deeply with another person (I DO have Taurus ASC). Nurturing others and being intimate is what I live for. I can be detached as well, but aren't we all at one point or another?

I want a family one day with love and intimacy all around me, but my childhood and upbringing was nothing like it. Well, there were many good times too, but that underlying coldness and disconnect was always there.

Did you guys find peace with a few of your natal aspects and did you get what you always longed for?

You always hear things like "love yourself regardless" "be happy with who you are and what you have" etc but how is that possible when I genuinely feel like who I am, contradicts with how I'm living? I want intimacy and closeness, but I have ALWAYS been the one who cares the most. Family, friends, lovers, etc. Is the lesson in all of this to learn to be okay with these things? or fight against it all and work towards that inner longing I continuously feel?

What are your experiences?

Healing through astrology is one of its great purposes. This is why it shows us exact energy negative or good. The negative energy is for us to reflect on and understand why and how it manifests in our life. Scorpio energy is an intense energy and can be hard to deal with. Perhaps the lesson is to be more Taurus like: connected to herbs and the earth.

You posted your chart at http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/241348.html

Is it ok for me to refer to that here? [Alternatively, could you please post it again here - using the Huber chart drawing style, as that will more clearly show the buffer* configuration (of Moon-Sun-Uranus/Neptune-Saturn)].

And ... you appear to have been born at a time and place that would make the 9/11 "Twin Towers" attack an extremely significant event in your life. ... So, are you able to comment on how it has impacted upon you (and your birthday celebrations) from 11th September 2001 onwards?

[ * "The Buffer figure contains a kind of protection mechanism, and is a perfect 'energy mechanism'. There is a kind of springiness between the blue sextile and trine - created by the red squares - where the transition is very rapid and there is a kind of constantly moving rhythmic conversation. ... It expects knocks within the movement - and actively goes looking for the blows, or (alternatively) will beat itself up. ... From Aspect Pattern Astrology, by the Hubers.]

I don't really like the term "heal" when talking about negative aspects in the chart. And actually, I don't consider any aspect to be positive or negative - they're just aspects. Even the so-called "positive" aspects really aren't - they're just deceptively positive. For example, people with a ton of trines in their charts could either be incredibly talented, hardworking people or they could be lazy with underutilized skills. It really just depends on how a person chooses to use his/her chart. Just because a person has a ton of squares or oppositions in their charts, doesn't necessarily make them damaged in any way.

I do think there are certain energies that we have to learn how to work with and come to terms with in each of our charts. Whether it be a square, opposition, conjunction, trine, or sextile, we all have to find a way to make these parts of ourselves work together in the best possible way for our own benefit.

My own chart is posted below - but note that Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto are also all connected via semi and sesqui squares (45 and 135 aspects). So, this is a 8th harmonic aspect configuration - and the 8H indicates "someone who persists with a thing beyond the point where others would give up (and actively believe that it is unreasonable/irrational to continue)".

This has always been (and still is) a problem-creator for me ... as being unable to let go of an idea/concern/belief/fear impacts adversely upon (the other person in) every type of relationship. ... However, on the positive side, it was an asset in my career - as an investigator of fraud, maladministration and the inefficient/ineffective use of resources.

Of course. It is really more about finding balance of the planetary energies for fullest expression of your soul.

Yes, I did, but it is still a work in progress nearing age 50. But I had to detach from the fantasy driven images or agendas in my own mind to be content. Which is really about learning to be content with myself.

Self-acceptance should not be equated to placid passivity. You can fully accept yourself today and still be interested in growing and improving.

The lesson is balance. Does that feel like balance to you? Balance is an inside job that then externalizes, allows you to deal with others, with circumstances with grace, patience, persistence.

quote:

Fight against what? Your own pattern? Others' being apparently less caring than you?

Is fighting anything or anyone the answer? I don't think so.

Balance.

quote:

What are your experiences?

Get the ego out of the way and many issues can resolve themselves within our own perspective. The ego is behind comparing and measuring (how much me vs how much them).

Changing who we are as personalities (related to Moon, Asc) takes time -- decades. It does not happen overnight, so it must come from a longing of the soul to be in balance. This is not behaviorism, fighting, punishment, self-punishment. It is seeing self's pattern clearly, as you are articulating here, and making a decision for a change within.

I totally agree with StubbornVirgo.

In the same breath, I also think that challenging aspects add a touch of human flaws to a person. They add character (particularly the squares)

These can be agents or catalysts for personality building i.e For isn't that the best gift you can give to yourself? By giving what you believe you lack on to others-thereby indirectly giving it to yourself?

Who for instance knows the pain of not fitting in or feeling very distanced from others better than a Moon/Uranus or Moon/Nep person?

In the above exmaples, the adverse aspect create the urgency from the individual in accepting others for what & whom they are because they themselves have known the rejection of feeling the "disconnect" of not being accepted from the core self.

And perhaps that is the most intimate relationship of all don't you think? For someone to know all your flaws and love you still? That doesn't sound like an aspect that is "bad" to me. And that's what is great about the Neptune/Moon aspect

Now in the other hand,if one gets into connections where there is a lack kf boundaries and/or one gives far more of themselves than the other is willing, that's a different story.

Here the energies concerned are from a place of "lack" ie. I want to have people approve of me and so I must give of me etc.

The trick is to not demand "change" on yourself. But to use the energies for something that reflects the best aspect of yourself.

This may mean that you accept yourself 'as is' and then demand the world to love you still. And the truth is that they will.They eventually always do.

And wouldn't that be better than having them love someone who is constantly apologizing for versions of themselves they don't "approve" of?
