   Mars rising in Cancer (0-1 degree) I’ve been taking the early hit…. projecting shadow, burned, digging deep, lather, rinse, repeat. The Mars-Pluto thing is really hard because I can see it most clearly in my protracted divorce battle, but as far as the psyche-digging goes, I’m really happy with my progress. I’ve been feeling this for about the last year.

   Oh, and in December Mars conjoins Pluto on the exact degree of my Mars… might need a reading on this…

   So how does one go about digging into the psyche, barring professional therapy? (out of my price range atm)

   Cancer moon, mercury, venus & rising, so this post set off great big warning bells.

   God, this perfectly sums up my Pluto in Sagitarius years.. squared my sun. It was high-flying and stone-sinking. I’m a stronger, more compassionate woman for it, that’s for hell sure.

   Korellyn, do you have Pluto in aspect to Mercury at all? Or any strong Scorpio/Pluto at all? I think professional therapy is a great thing and I’ve done it (although also out of my price range atm), but I am starting to realize that really using my Mercury-Pluto conjunction to process my life is about the most transformative thing I’ve ever done.

   When you think “they” are horrible, just make sure you’re not EXACTLY like them… and when you find out you are - then integrate.

   I find it almost amazing that when you wiki things related to Jungian psychology, you find absolutely zero cross-reference to astrological counseling, even though modern Western astrology seems to be built on concepts like “anima” and “shadow self.” I mean, it’s Wikipedia, not the freakin’ AMA website - can’t figure out why there aren’t even any peripherally linked references to astrology, or even mythology!

   Jessica - Yes, I have pluto trine my moon/mercury conjunction. (pluto in scorp in the 4th, moon/merc in cancer in the 12th) I like to think that aspect makes me more comfortable than most ppl with plutonic energy, but I’m not sure how to access it consciously. Any ideas?

   I have Venus in Cancer in the 8th. I also have Scorpio moon and ascendant so I’ve got a lot of intensity already. It will be interesting to see how this affects me. I’m a little nervous.

   oh, my aries/libra oppositions are really looking forward to it, too… ;P

    Thanks for the question, Curious Cancer, I wondered too. I’m feeling this a lot more than I did Pluto in Sagittarius. You use the word projection and shadow a lot, Elsa, but I don’t completely get what you mean by them. Can you explain what you mean by them further?

    You’ve got to be kidding me!! I thought I was going to get to breath for half a second having almost survived Pluto to my sun, now I have Pluto messing with my Cancer rising. On the upside, I have spent the last 9 years digging and am getting more adept at recognizing when it’s me and when its them (really them, not my shadow).

    “When you think “they” are horrible, just make sure you’re not EXACTLY like them… and when you find out you are - then integrate.”

    You just gave me more on one blog post than years of therapy ever did. I think this might be the only thing I need to carry with me for the rest of my life. Wow. Seriously, I can’t thank you enough.

    So, if this thing you find out you can’t stand which is within you is something you don’t WANT to integrate but to divest yourself of forever, what then? Atone?

    Seriously, that’s it in a nutshell, isn’t it Del? Elsa, do you take Blue Cross/Blue Shield?

    Korellyn, wow, I have Moon (widely) trine my Pluto/Mercury conjunction, ha ha. I am by no means a master at this, but I have been working hard lately. I do not have a formal means of spiritual practice, but it’s been working for me to just spend time thinking really deeply about myself with respect to others. And to almost meditate - I practice detaching as soon as I feel fear or disgust or jealousy about someone else, like stopping the bad feeling in its tracks. I think it works because that gut negative reaction is what makes me want to push the quality away from me and project it onto someone else. If you can get really detached from it then it seems to lose its shadow power. I don’t know if this makes sense - it’s not something I’ve perfected yet, but to me it’s almost like a mental trick, like the trick of watching the spinning dancer reverse directions or seeing the image in the dot picture. Another thing that works for me is to imagine that the other person *is* me - so, not separating out a negative quality that I’ve projected onto them, but integrating everything about them and imagining that we are the same person.

    This is like homebrew stuff, so apologies for the rough edges.
