Here’s a start at the Details. The 17 September Station is Hylonome’s. She was a Centaur who was so distraught that her Lover was killed in the disturbance where Chiron was injured, that she killed herself with the same arrow that killed her Lover. Evidently Life without him was worthless. In other words, she was Merged with him, she couldn’t tell where she ended and he began.
Now these Greek Myths tell us what happens when we’re Unconscious. When we’re Conscious, we have Choices. So, leaning toward Consciousness, we interpret dwarf planet Hylonome as the Choice to set Boundaries that facilitate our own Self-Sovereignty. In general, we regard Self-Sovereignty as good, but we recognize that this is a Judgment, and that Judgment and Unconditional Love make uneasy mates.
Our Judgment is Conditional – one of the characteristics of the Patriarchy is that most of us were/are Codependent – Merged with Others. Perhaps with a Lover, maybe with a Boss, perhaps a Hero, maybe an Antagonist. As we leave the Patriarchy behind, moving out of Codependence is an important step, because outside of the Patriarchy, the Power structure isn’t nearly as hierarchical.
In organizations that have embraced the Digital Age, management structures have flattened considerably, as the wider spread of information has allowed Decision-Making to move lower in the structure. The Digital Age spans the first two Centuries of the Age of Aquarius. We’ll have more to say about Self-Sovereignty later, but for now we’ll consider it to be a positive trend.
So here’s the core of the Hylonome Station chart…
The Station itself occurs at 6pm PDT, but we’ve drawn the chart for 8pm PDT to give the Moon time to catch up to Hylonome, as the Moon frequently serves as a Timer for larger events.
Most of you are probably too young to remember Patty Hearst’s apparent Merger with her kidnappers, but Merging with our Abusers is not at all uncommon – in fact it may be the only way we can Tolerate Abuse in situations where we don’t feel like we have a Choice.
And most of us have been in that situation to one degree or another, probably many times. Employment comes to mind.
On the left corner of the red square in the chart above is the dwarf planet Nessus, symbolizing Abuse and it’s Opposite, Privilege. The red square is a “Grand Cross,” and it means that we bounce around between its four corners, exploring their relationships with one another. On the right corner are the dwarf planet Orcus, symbolizing Oath-making and -breaking, and asteroid Pallas, which represents Boundaries.
Do you remember how Confused you were about your Boundaries with your Abusers? Do you remember making Oaths, maybe to never Talk Back, maybe to never get into that situation again, maybe to get even someday, maybe to somehow Escape, maybe never to tell anyone. Every Oath we’ve ever made and not Disavowed, is still in our Field and Limiting our Life.
So just looking at these two corners of the Grand Cross, we can see that we’re deep into Reconsidering our Boundaries against Abuse and the Oaths we made around it. Abuse can take many forms. We can all think of the obvious ones, but Abuse includes things like chronic Disrespect. Whenever someone treats you as less than a Spark of the Divine, that’s Abuse. And whenever you treat someone else as less than Divine.
As these issues arise, remember that Confusion is good. Confusion is the first step of Growth, but only if we Allow Confusion to stand on its own. If our Response is to compulsively Figure It Out, we can’t help but get stuck in our Old Birdcage. That’s one of the worst elements of Abuse – as Divine Beings, it’s Unbelievably Confusing that someone would Abuse us. Our Oaths in Response were to Allay Confusion. We need to Celebrate Confusion instead, and this is our chance to Disavow those Oaths we made under duress.
At the top of the red square is the asteroid Karma. Whoa. Remember that Karma is not Retribution, as most folks use the word. It’s Inertia, Habit Patterns. Whenever the asteroid is Lit Up, there are probably Patterns – Oaths and their consequences – from Past or Parallel Lives that are impacting our current Lifetime. It’s a Blessing, because every strong Angle that asteroid Karma makes is an Opportunity to Recognize the Patterns and make alternative Choices.
And at the bottom of the Grand Cross is the asteroid Lachesis. Lachesis was one of the three “Fates” in the Greek Worldview, the one that measured the Length of a Timeline. That might be a Lifetime, or it might be a particular theme or segment or other part of a Lifetime. Again, in the Greek Myth, that was an apparently unavoidable Fate. And again, we move toward Choice.
Karma, our Ancient Patterns, is so Easy to Choose because it’s so familiar that we take it for granted. So Easy that we almost never Notice that it’s us that is Choosing it – we usually feel like it’s imposed upon us. If in our Karmic Pattern C happened as a result of A and B, guess what we’re going to Expect when A and B happen now! Expectation is an Unconscious Choice, and it’s a very Strong and very Subtle Manifestor.
So the Critical piece of Changing a Timeline we don’t like, is Awareness. We have to Consciously Notice the deja vu, and then we have to be Aware that we’re going to Expect certain consequences, and we have to Consciously turn those Expectations aside. We have to Choose a fresh alternative.
Like “No.” Not “No!” – Neutrality is important. Not “No thank you” – we don’t need to thank someone for not Respecting our Divinity. Just “No.” So there’s nothing for them to React to. No Explanation, no discussion, no argument, except maybe “What is it about No that you don’t understand?” But even that invites Discussion, so it’s better off to think it than say it.
Then you walk away. Into a crowd if you don’t Feel Safe. Which suggests that you may want to be Alert this weekend. Not necessarily paranoid, but you might want to Avoid situations where you’re Alone with someone you’re not sure you Trust completely. When you first Notice the deja vu, you don’t want to be Alone with someone who reminds you of a past Abuse.
That will make you paranoid and put you at a great disadvantage, because you’ll have lost your Neutrality, and you may be Afraid to say just “No.” The likelihood that you’ll actually re-create a historical Abuse is small, because this is about Letting Go of Past Abuse Patterns. We only have to re-create Abuse when we’ve been too blind for too long and our Soul has given up trying to point out our “Fate” to our Ego gently.
