“Well I feel the same way about you,” I said to a pal. “Nobody seems to know who you are. Your family for example. Why don’t they know you? I mean, they do know you but the things they know are not the important things. They don’t know any of the things that count.”

Speaking of families where one or more members are invisible, projected upon, or forced to carry the shadow for the group, I am trying to improve my level of understanding and acceptance of this. Because as common as this is, to me it’s a foreign culture.

My family is very overt. Everyone knows who everyone is because every single one of us has a strong Moon Jupiter signature and we will tell you who we are.

Now if you misunderstand us, we will tell you again with our voice raised. We’ll be loud at first and then louder.  If continue to misunderstand, we will probably pick up a brick and hit you with it. Continue reading The Psychology And The Shadow Side Of Families

It’s a common phenomena.  The matriarch or the patriarch of a family passes and the family unravels.  I knew of a mother who died leaving her husband and four sons behind.  The men never realized she was what held them together and helped them relate to each other.   When she was lost from the picture each man became an island.

Many of you know I recently got in contact with my oldest sister after a 20 year laspe.  She’s a double Sagittarius so shares the Jupiter Moon signature that runs through my family.

I found out today that while I had the date and time right on her chart, I had the city wrong.  I thought she was born in California but she was born in the desert like the rest of of us and this did move her chart.  Specifically, it made her a Capricorn rising, like Annalisa and I with, you guessed it, Neptune on the midheaven.

This means all our rising signs are within 9 degrees (1 degree separates Annalisa and I), we all have Jupiter Moons and we all have Neptune at the top of the chart.  Er… just in case anyone thinks anyone is adopted.

What do you have in common with your siblings?

Speaking of deal breakers in relationship, my husband always says that you can’t turn blood on blood. To me, old friends are like blood.

I think it is always a mistake to bad mouth a person’s family, even if the person speaks poorly about their family themselves as these roots are very deep.

When you attack a person’s family, you attack them.  When you attack and criticize their friends, you attack them as well. Same when you attack a person’s spouse.

I haven’t heard anyone else mention this but again, I like to think in terms of a natural chart. This puts Pluto in Capricorn at the top of the chart which has it aspect the bottom of the chart (the roots) by default.

I see people becoming more clannish, even people like me who aren’t inclined in that direction. I think this trend will continue and that people can benefit by excavating their roots and the patterns and psychology they’ve inherited from their families.
