Hi everybody and thank you for adding sparkles into my life. My subconscious mind has led me ever since I can remember but not always I listened. I am aware of all the big mistakes I’ve done despite the warnings. Sometimes I wake up with an answer of something I have already forgotten. I have no planets in 8th, Jupiter and Pluto in 12th and strong Neptune in my natal, Virgo. I don’t lack good ideas but to express them is torture. I work now on a project in two languages which is double-trouble, and Saturn has returned my memory on top of it. He makes me to think of the past, especially of the things I wanted to forget. Saturn has taught me only one thing, that astrology is true.

Thanks, Elsa! It’s great to be here. Pluto’s now transiting my Ascendant and learning to work with my subconscious is actually one of the major themes.

I have Moon square Pluto in combination with a very strong Saturn (conjunct Moon). What it means is that the desire to be in control is at total odds with very powerful subconscious urges that often rule my behaviour. Sometimes it feels like I’m at the mercy of my subconscious, and poor old Saturn feels very frustrated he can’t do much about it.

Inner work of some kind is probably the only way out. At 34, I’m learning to meditate, and find it very helpful to be more aware of what I’m actually doing.

The subconscious mind has never been actually found. You know, like placing a flag on the moon sort of makes it real. Some psychoanalysts believe the subconscious mind is in the left frontal part of the brain. In my training background the emphasis was place on the words out of awareness rather than using “subconscious thoughts”. It doesn’t really matter to me that science still hasn’t found the subconscious mind in the brain. The meta classification suits me fine. If an “un thought” (subconscious one) becomes an actual thought then its not out of ones awareness anymore. Cool hey.

Scorpio and the subconscious.. I think that there is a lot that happens here at this plane, i guess theres not alot that my subconcious mind is aware that its aware of. Its tricky……
But not to undermine the extrordinaryness of consciousness.

I think I’m pretty well aware of what’s going on with me consciously. There’s not a whole lot I’m 100% not aware of. Maybe it’s the Scorpio rising, but I’m very well in touch with the “dark side.”

Actually, Ive told my husband many times I dont believe in the subconscious LOL. Not in the way most people think of it – some mystical force that makes them do things they wouldnt otherwise do. I think a lot of people blame the subconscious for things that are conscious.
Or maybe Im just very in touch with myself and cant imagine that my brain has his whole other agenda Im not aware of.

PS LMH – you have to be a true jackass to get banned from this site. There have only been 3 people banned in 3 years. The thing is each of them has had several (or a dozen) screen names so it may look otherwise.

LMH – not personal at all. The filter is wacky, less so this last week or so than it was a month ago but still very wonky. Trouble is this blog gets hundreds of spam comments a day and I can’t do without it.
