I wrote about the opposition in my son’s chart here: Strife Between The Parents.  That this aspect causes my son a good deal of grief is undeniable however it is in his chart. This means that constellates around him wherever he goes and I have a case in point that is stunning and simultaneously usual. It demonstrates to me that if you have something like this in your chart, you can’t run and you can’t hide.

My son and I went to therapy for awhile and while I think the therapist looks bad in this anecdote, I do not think he was incompetent in any way, shape of form. He has 30 years of counseling experience which I felt he put to very good use when working with us and knowing this only helps to make my point.  I don’t care who you are. If my son is in the room, people are prone to end up diametrically opposed with a conflict very hard (perhaps impossible) to resolve.

We were in the session working on just this issue. I told the therapist that Vid’s father and I disagreed on virtually everything 2 people can possibly disagree on. I said I thought this caused Vid a lot of problems but I had no idea how to resolve the situation.

“Give me an example of something your parents disagree on,” he asked Vid. This was back in January.

“Politics!” Vid said.

I kept a straight face.

The therapist grinned and then asked something that surprised me.  ‘Which parent thiks what..?”

“Well my dad thinks —– and my mom says ——–”

The therapist laughed.  ‘”Oh, well your dad is right!  Yep, your mother has this one all wrong… she’s just wrong is all. She’s wrong about this completely…”

I was stunned. I waited a minute to make sure what I was doing and then confronted the therapist setting up the same conflict I had just described but here’s the thing:

Vid has Libra!  So when the therapist sided with his dad, that made 2 against 1. They were men, no less, so Vid immediately slid to my side.  And there you go.

This stuff is not really resolvable unless you agree to disagree and even when you do that, it still leaves Vid holding the bag.

Do you scrutinize the people around you to feel better, or do you scrutinize yourself?  Two completely different philosophies there and I won’t be giving mine up anytime soon. This is shown in Vid’s chart by the way.

He has Jupiter and Mercury in Aries aspecting his Moon. That his mother will fight for her beliefs is vividly described in his chart (and hers) so what are we supposed to do about this, hmm?

Could it be that dice land how they land and as they were meant to land?
