Thank you all!!I have one but is not generational as it involves my MOON. Pluto is at the APEX and then I have MOON Quintile Chiron completing a Golden Yod with PLUTO. Pluto rules my 11H and conjuncts out of sign by 4 degrees my Saturn, Saturn inconjuncts my Chiron.
This week I am taking one last class needed to obtain my License in Counseling. It was a GROUP COUNSELING CLASS. Today was the last day of the intensive week which is basically the week we all participate for 10 hours in an actual group counseling as leaders, members and observers!
I cried today when we were wrapping up the experience and saying good bye, I cried one day when I was a group member and shared one of my stories with the class and I mean I cried intensely, I experienced both compassion fatigue and vulnerability fatigue that day.
Yesterday I led one of the groups and mercury conjunct venus in gemini were conjunct my Northnode, Tr SUN was also on my CHIRON activating my GOLDEN YOD yesterday. Today the new moon in GEMINI felt on my CHIRON and activated my GOLDEN YOD.
I mean is hard for me to open in groups bc I have some karma with groups and I Feel very vulnerable in groups and because I feel so vulnerable it tends to make it hard for me to lead groups as the vulnerability I feel can get in the way of me communicating effectively at times (after all chiron in gemini is part of the golden yod).
I am noticing that perhaps a lot of pain come to the surface in this class and it was a week truly of growth for me in leading counseling groups and a week of healing for me by been part of a counseling group as a member.
All this and at end of the year I will have my northnode return in gemini.
So I was thinking that even though I feel so self-conscious leading groups that because of the nature of quintiles that I am probably better at doing it than I realize and that even if I am not amazing at it my energy that I bring to the room helps the group bring stuff to the surface and heal in the context of a group setting. Maybe I should focus more on how my own vulnerability, intensity of emotions and power can help the group heal and less on my performance, I think bc Saturn conjuncts my PLUTO I put a lot of pressure on my self and how I perform which over-complicates things perhaps. I think I need to realize that less is more in the context of me leading a counseling group.
ANYHOO with moon in pisces ruling my 8H forming a Golden YOD with chiron and PLUTO with PLUTO at the apex, group counseling is a very intense experience for me that feels very raw and vulnerable.
IDK this is not a fun thing for me but is something I am trying to master and a growth area, It seems that PLUTO in Libra in the 10H at the apex of the golden YOD is the key, I need mindfulness and to find a balance around how much I interject as a leader and how much I let the group support one another and lead itself. Leaders are only suppose to lead at first by setting up the structure and modeling some behaviors but essentially the goal is the group to lead itself and leader to participate minimally.
I guess this golden yod is a strength for me as I am a counselor and competent at what I do but when it comes to a group setting I don't feel as confident in my work performance and I am thinking is bc Saturn is aspecting both the apex of my golden yod and leg of my golden yod but saturn also rules time and it can mean I will perfect my group counseling skills over time and I this year is certainly an important turning point with this but still need to keep perfecting. Saturn wants me to perfect this craft of leading a group counseling group it seems. Mind you Saturn does not aspect my MOON and at attuning with the emotions of the group and helping them process their emotions I do great is the Chiron in gemini biquintile PLUTO with Saturn conjunting PLUTO and inconjuncting CHIRON, that is the part of the Golden yod I find more challenging, it is Saturn causing insecurities aspecting that half of the golden yod so it makes it so that part of it doesn't flow as easily without hiccups. IDK maybe saturn is ruining my golden yod. Less is more when it comes to leading and communication in group settings, I think that is the lesson for me maybe. When I do speak let it powerful but only do it occasionally and be concise. That could the key to working around this gold yod challenge, is like saturn is afflicting my golden yod. But saturn has a message and lesson and if I figure it out I can turn this golden yod into a strength.
Yods are challenges after all, even if there is gifts/strengths involved bc of the nature of quintiles there may be a challenge that needs to be overcome in how to put this gift to good use and to serve others (chiron in the 6H). IDK is like with saturn playing into it is like there is this interesting mix of flaws and gifts playing out with my Golden Yod.
