The thing about being a scapegoat is true, though. I can think of a few times.

I see, maybe it's a theme here. Yes, quite often with people who had many problems or brought them into it, attracting the wrong kind of people, keeping quiet for others, etc. Is that what you were thinking of?

Wherever we have Pandora in our chart, we will open a can of worms and more often than not, it will be a challenging experience (for us or for those around us), which is likely to stir up some controversy, at least in the beginning. We will either do it willingly or it will be done for us, no matter how desperately we try to stop it from happening. Pandora was created by the gods for one purpose only - to open that box and release what was inside of it, and she is going to do it, one way or another. If we fight against the archetype, somebody or something will find its way to our darkest room and smash open that forbidden closet - with a bang, so that all the skeletons will fall out, for everybody to see. And the more we resist the process, the more difficult and painful it becomes.

As a symbol, Pandora has a lot in common with Saturn and itīs not surprising, that one of Saturnīs moons has been named after her, as well as the asteroid no 55. Both Saturn and Pandora have the difficult task of forcing us to get real - more honest, more truthful, more genuine - more of our true self. But before we can be that, before Pandoraīs lessons are learned, we have to open that box and let the devil loose, no matter how terrifying it is. We finally have to face those parts of us, which we pretend donīt exist, we have to own up to the lies we have told, we must take the responsibility for our own shadow and stop fooling ourselves and others, that itīs a curse from the gods, which has nothing to do with us. We are likely to feel shame and fear and in the end - great relief. No more lying, no need to put up a performance, no more hiding, no more pretending, that we are not who we really are. Itīs only then, when Pandora is done with us, that we can look back and see how exhausting it was to live a lie and we will be asking ourselves how we could manage to do it for so long.

If Pandora has a prominent position in the horoscope, the native is likely to be the black sheep of the family or of the society. It doesnīt have to be negative - the black sheep has its rightful place and an important role to play in the society, as it acts as a kind of mirror for the entire group itīs a part of. The problem with Pandora is that she often mirrors things, that we would rather hide and thatīs why she is likely to cause controversy, make some people uneasy or attract some anger sometimes. If the archetype is expressed negatively, the native can become a scapegoat for all the ills of the society, that the others just donīt want to know about. Even with positive expression, there is often an air of notoriety around these people, a feeling of something dark and a bit dangerous, something controversial and sometimes - something strangely attractive.

Pandora is not only about all hell breaking loose, she's also about seeing reality, growing emotionally which often means you losing the protective shelter that allows you to remain innocent. As you become aware that the world isn't as easy as it seemed when you were a child, n you personally have to make it out on your own.....you lose the childhood innocence but gain the strength of living in reality.
To me Pandoras story isnt that different than the Christians story of Eve eating the apple from the tree of knowledge of good n bad. She opened up the world to a lot more power and a lot more choices becuz suddenly we weren't easily perfect....now we had choices and had to work to be good.
Inatially its harder but in the end the rewards are greater.
