we have a chance to see them looking at a mirror and say, "Oh, I recognize that in them,
and maybe that's going on in me too."
I went through a period when I was attracted to extremely Aries, macho type
people when I was blocking my own Aries, blocking my own Mars. We had one of our
Intensives here where we had two women present who both had Sun in Aries. One of
them was quite young who had a Bachelor's degree--not extremely educated, but she was
a very bright woman. The other woman with a PhD in psychology who ran a facility for
schizophrenic people was highly educated, a trained Jungian analyst, who was in her
sixties. Supposedly by this time you should be mature, reaching wisdom. Well, the older
woman was absolutely bugged by the fact that the younger woman could do her Aries
thing: be loud, brass, impulsive and spontaneous.. She was just an intensely fun person
who was always shooting her mouth off, stirring things up just in pure fun. She
was not offensive at all to the rest of us. But this other Aries woman was absolutely
annoyed with her because she herself couldn't allow herself to do these kinds of
impulsive, young, spontaneous actions, and so she put this woman down unmercifully.
we were able to talk to her privately and reassure her about what was really going on.
That was a very entertaining seminar. So watch whom you attract in your life. It's
meaningful. Watch who you over-react to. Over-reaction means that you're being
disturbed by something that you're not acknowledging in yourself. Something you want
to do but can't let yourself do, so when someone else does it, it makes you mad!
If we have decided that to be spiritual means to be not assertive, we will meet all
the aggressive people in the world who overdo that, and they will throw their aggression
at us until we've recovered some of that and can fight for our own rights. To be spiritual
is to be whole, and that means to acknowledge the Aries side as well as the Pisces side
of your nature. You can go pure Pisces and try to be a saint, and you will be a dead saint
real fast! There's a proper time for Aries and a proper time for Pisces. Avoid the danger
of repression or displacement.
Eventually you have to deal with it and see that the other person can't help being
the way they are right now. If you still react to them, it shows that you still need to work
on your projected power which says, "Unless you like me and stop being angry at me, I'm
no good." In other words, it says, "My self-esteem depends on how you react to me." So
the Universe is still giving you a chance to work on that challenge in your nature. When
you have worked it out, it won't bother you anymore.
To me this is what astrology basically gives us. It gives us a picture of the whole
of life. It isn't partial. And the problem with many psychological models of human
nature is they are partial. They really don't show you the whole functioning picture. I
have had a number of psychotherapists who got into astrology tell me that they don't
realize how limited and one-sided their view of human nature was until they used
astrology. They realized that they were only looking at a fraction of the person and
missing a major part of the life. Astrology is not final truth and it doesn't give you all the
answers, but it is more inclusive and more sophisticated and more useful for me than any
of the other psychological models I have studied.
In general, the traditional meanings of the aspects do hold. Where there are
sextiles or trines and semi-sextiles, those two parts of those people will tend to get along
comfortably. Where there are squares, octiles, and trioctiles, there we tend to have a
stressful interaction; we need to be more conscious to work that out. Oppositions and
