Having people who see and understand you, and affirm you as a person, can be critically important in life.
I've been listening to some SamG's intro vid-snippets to a Vedic relationship study course. So Rich! I'm getting insights even from his snippets.
*in case he reads*
{talking to my invisible people here, *ahem* Laughing!}
You're a great teacher, and I surely appreciate your including those very much.
As you know, I don't have the money for purchasing (~anyone's!!) readings, apps, or for joining the now fee-based groups, and online-courses. I'm feeling abandoned and left behind. *sniff, sniff*
Besides which, this place (where I currently reside) doesn't have conducive learning conditions; and its not the best for health.
.. (But I AM deeply grateful for having a roof over my head; and for an rm that I can and do get along with. Having a generally cooperative peaceful relationship and atmosphere in the home is vital to me. (I don't do home-atmospheres of fighting, strife, and prolonged relationship misery well.)
Were I even to be given full-scholarships? I would lack the 'Quality' time to fully dissect and thoroughly ingest the Valuable materials that were taught and paid-for.
Plus, my living space is very small and compact... You need private space and good reference shelving systems in place in order to do work and deep study. There are resources I have in my bins, that are difficultly smoothed for me to access with it looking like a hurricane hit my place.
These are a resource I can use--- but I guess I do okay with my writing here (LL), with what resources I can get to.
Like JJ had told me once... it's what's ALREADY within you that will be most valuable.
Today?... The vibeys are soooo strong and thick-- (affecting my feeling of health, and probably since it has been a chronic day-to-day environmental hazard, I ~worry about being able to fully recover what I had moving in here-- (but now, I'm older too). It was a trade-off for what I needed at the time to stay alive. Now I worry that I have added physical-limitations, narrowing my exit-options?... I hope not.)
It has interfered with being able to prep to go to a Volunteer job! They have no idea what I go through in order to show up 'like everyone else.' Then last time, I walked in the room and noted there was a piece of equipment running that hadn't been there for the month before.
...Of course?, it COULD have been the enhancing effect of an ongoing burn-feeling headache' that made me more sensitive?
Because, it's not usually just 'one' piece that bothers me, but when there is a cacophony of bad-resonancers going on simultaneously, that triggers the health-feeling woes.
Often, over the weekends, and on Mondays, the problems have been worse than other days.
Today, for example, the traffic from nearby International Airport have jet-aircrafts utilizing the runway that fly right over my building, every minute-or-five! They also use the additional two other runway-paths that run both either sides of this building, concurrent with the middle one. (Extra inundations today.)
There's a large swath of land that is affected here by busy air-traffic.... Ranging from very wealthy homes, to the lower income 'hoods, jets are equal-opportunity shaking and noise hazards to a town or a city, no matter WHERE you are on the planet! That's something we all have in common? *grin*
(Of course, there is NO comparison to those individuals who live in war-zones pummeled by planes, guns, bombings..... My Heart feels such SORROWS for you there.... You have my deepest more sincere Prayers. God Keep You Safe!, and bring people with provisions to help you each step of the way!)
Things are certainly not Equal in life? and yet some other things are!...
As far as keeping a Good attitude goes, I am not shorted in that. I am always WILLING to DO the Best that I Can, with what I got! Always.... And I have curiosity and a willingness to Learn and try new things!
So anyways... This was a diva-length post, and I cropped it before doing the Submit button. I could delineate things and systems all day long!
Going a little further with thoughts about Understanding people--
This is the anniversary of a loss of an astrologer-friend-- a vid-mentor to me, and for the astrology and spiritual community he touched. I send extra-Care wishes to RickL, whom I'd say knew him best. {{ }}
JJ was my first 'personalized' portal introduction and baptism into REAL astrology, after I had gained an awareness and study-interest in it. (Was before I came to LL).
I still recall the first minutes of my phone reading with him. It was completely disarming to me--- the person who liked to hide her flaws and imperfections, and to give the world a face of sturdiness and strength as though 'there's nothing wrong here, everything's fine'...
From his looking at my natal chart--- some of his first words to me, after he broke silence, were soft gentle compassionate deep and strong.... asking quietly, 'What happened inside 'that' house, between you and your mother?...' It was like he knew. I came undone inside.
Even now, I'm bawling like a baby today, and feeling so vulnerable and raw.... AND Grateful that I had had the chance to have had my own chart read, privately, by someone who had been doing this for nearly ~40 years?
You see, it IS possible to see that a person COULD have had an abuse happen, by certain MULTIPLE indicators synthesized in a chart.
I remember him saying that he would ordinarily not tell a client this-- but he said he wanted me to 'act selfish'... whatever I'd consider 'selfish' to be? Act Selfish. ... And to GO towards my Venus. Fulfill her.
Now that I am including the asteroid goddess aspects too, it is clearer. You can have this chart and were that the environment of care had been supportive, then adverse things in the home would have more easily built strength, and only been incidental rather than unduly traumatizing.
You see, it DOES take a Village to raise a healthy child. HAD the adults in my life only known what was happening with me... I wonder that HAD my family remained geographically closer to the extendeds, then I might have been able to have had their assistance and supports? (My parents would have also.) By that, would I or could I have utilized the energy in my chart differently?
At age 7 1/2, the family-unit moved...
Changed my IC from Aries to a Pisces~IC environment... dissolved, and left (personally by relatives now remote) to the lost waters of the Cosmos. Left-behind, unknowingly. I was thrust from one bi-language into full immersion into another RIGHT at the point where I was trying to 'anchor' my language-verbal skills for me. I had to switch from 'thinking' in one language to another... amidst incredible confusion, and cascades of deaths of key people. Somehow I feel that I had failed gaining verbal-mastery and grounding the confidence in BOTH?
"The Fog of Unknowing!!!" LOL ...
*gently, and Knowingly smiling here*
One of the best things that I gained from having had a personal reading, was the validation received. I was hidden, and it 'uncovered' me... I had remained HIDDEN in my own mind for so long. Always pushing forward forward forward. Pressing myself, while KNOWING and feeling within that I had been broken tooo many times in my life.
So... I say in the ethers, Thank you for 'Seeing Me' that day.
I thought I had HIDDEN so well in those shadowy deeps, and you, with your natal Scorpio Moon in my Scorpio 12th, (trine my chart ruler Jupiter Cancer cnj Uranus, 8th), unknowingly began to undo more of my isolation and Wall that day.
Cusp Scorpio H12... has my 21485 Ash conjunct h13(apogee)Lilith, conjunct 4580 Child in Scorpio.
....
AND!!!
Today "just happens" to be Roberta Flack's Birthday.
Wishing her Happy Greetings on her birthday!
This song is perfect for describing what it feels like to be Known by an unknown stranger-- and by an astrologer (now deceased) who didn't realize the Good he had Performed, by affirming my life in his reading.
This once-Hidden Child, whose life was scarred by abuse, started to Understanding her own self, through the study of astrology.
