1 Minute Astrology - Why Bother To Stop Projecting And/Or Own Your Shadow?

The Astrology / Projection / 7th House Blogs start here: 1 Minute Astrology

Continuing to discuss projection in relationships, the 7th house in astrology and a person’s shadow side. My friend, Ben, a progressive Aquarius rising with Uranus on the descendant opposing finds out what he has projected, integrates it and becomes even more liberated…

    Great post! Are the signs opposite your sun-sign and those opposite your most aspected planets also revealing your shadow? What about Pluto’s sign?

    Thanks

    Okay, Elsa, I think I’m getting this . . . so what you’re saying, then, is that instead of you putting on someone else that *they* want they’re mom, you own/acknowledge/know/integrate that it’s you that wants your mome, and so that makes you more interesting?

    Hopefully I’m getting it!

    Yeah, Vita. I am not a one-dimensional person. I strive to be whole and not only own alll of my energy but use it as well. You see? I do not do this begrudgingly. I am very happy to discover who and what I am because it is liberating.

    Beautifully put, Elsa. Thank you! I just had an “a-ha” moment. Yay.

    That’s so interesting!
    I somewhat identify with Ben’s story. I always think of myself as very liberal, progressive, left-wing, open-minded but …when it comes down to it I have a few conservative attitudes sometimes, particularly in terms of relationships, and they surprised me.
    But after all, they are the Saturn in the 7th that is also a part of me.
    I’m not sure this makes me more interesting or appealing but I’ll be certainly More Me when I embrace this side and, consequently, more interesting, hopefully.

    Ahhh Elsa! I’m still trying to figure this out. I don’t even know what my shadow is…maybe it’s that I’m so contradictory?? I’m also trying to figure out what I project….I get lost in my thoughts when I try to think about this…I’m still not comprehending how this plays out in my own life.

    Well, yeah, I was referring to something else; that tendency to say ‘you are this 7th house’ in a negative way.

    To spin it positively, I tend to be a mother figure, which is weird because I’m a pickup-driving gun-owning quasi-redneck… intellesmectual.
