Astrology: how to suppress chart mechanism corresponding transformation

In astrology consulting practice, like in the psychological consultation, astrologers will encounter a case of "resistance" problem.[so-called impedance in the definition of psychology, refers to the case in the consulting of exposure and the resistance of change, embodied in for avoiding some anxiety, or denied for a painful experience.]For astrologers held psychological astrological concept, impedance is also need to face in the process of consultation is an important subject.Because only through the impedance of the case, the soul communication between can better promote and case, thus promote director for their understanding and comprehension.

Impedance concept was first put forward by the founder of psychoanalysis, sigmund Freud, it is considered to be the sum of all the personality defense mechanism.In psychoanalysis, the impedance causes and personality structure [personality structure including the id, ego and superego three oriented. This is the source of mental energy, I follow the principle of happy, eager to own need to be satisfied immediately. The ego is the executor of the personality, follow the principle of reality, is responsible for regulating the conflict between my impulse and the reality. The superego is a proponent of social values and ideas, follow the principle of moral, responsible for internalizing social value, moral and ideas.]The dynamic role of about: when the interaction between id, ego and superego role conflict, people will feel anxious, in order to prevent and control these anxieties, will use personality self defense mechanism to deal with, such as depression, projection, deny, alternative, rationalization, sublimation, and so on.Among them, the "depressed" is considered to be the pioneer of the various forms of defense mechanisms, is self in order to ensure the control of the psychological system, prevent the subconscious unacceptable into the consciousness of thinking, emotion and impulse the strategy.This article wants to discuss is "depressed" in the birth chart works, and the corresponding transformation.

Although Freud's theory of personality structure is of great value, but it must be pointed out that with the development of modern psychology, the connotation of the personality structure is also exposed some pitfalls and blind spots.Freud's understanding of id be negative, for example, about the beyond the level of individual also has limitations.And jung's collective unconscious [collective unconscious is considered to be the personality structure at the bottom of the subconscious, hold the common experience of human history in the evolutionary process. In the collective unconscious gather many kinds of "prototype" image, it is not forgotten and repressed part of the personal experience, but individuals are hard to come into contact with, coexistence of collective psychological roots.], as well as humanistic psychology, transpersonal psychology emphasizes the potential of "self-actualization" [" self-actualization "is first and foremost by the sponsor of the humanistic psychology, maslow proposed in the" hierarchy of needs theory ". Maslow believes that people as an organic whole, with multiple internal motivation and needs, including physiological needs, security needs, belonging needs, respect and love needs, self-actualization needs. One of the highest level of need i.e. "self-actualization". Maslow later turned to the transcendence of human needs and superior consciousness, become one of the leading of transpersonal psychology.], promote the development of the personality psychology.Accordingly, this article is to borrow the concept of "depressed", but it is not constrained by the traditional definition of psychoanalysis, but from the perspective of the operation mechanism, to parse the birth chart sign of mental depression, the corresponding personality problems, and how to release these deep mental energy.

Astrology vision of "depressed"

In astrology, all stars can be seen as the source of individual mental energy, these energy or into the awareness level of the individual, or an ambush in the personal unconscious, or coupling field of the collective unconscious.Birth chart can show not only, in other words, is repressed by the personal unconscious thoughts, emotions and impulsive, but also contains the individual has not yet come into contact with root cause and potential.The degree to which these mental energy awareness and individual how high, will decide the potential of "self-actualization" to what extent can be developed.Therefore, from the perspective of astrology, depression can be seen as an individual first birth bring energy restrain tendency, it is to protect the self in a certain extent, but also restrain the exertion of individual potential, the potential of self-realization and negative psychological experience together stop outside the door.

Because of the energy is depressed individual innate restrain tendency, to break through and transformation is indeed a very difficult thing to do.But it is not impossible.Astrology, in my opinion, the wonders of this system is that it can not only explain the psychological motivation function of psychoanalysis, but also can confirm the idea of humanistic psychology, transpersonal psychology: have the potential to individual self-realization, self transcendence, this potential will promote individual awareness, and integrate all aspects of the psychological motivation, a creative transformation.

Break through the depressing the first step is to "awareness".In other words, individuals need to be the contents of the unconscious "consciousness", fully aware of their own built-in psychological model and the corresponding behavior patterns.At this point, through the interpretation chart astrological consultation can help director to quickly produce insights and understanding, the efficiency is much higher than common psychological counseling.Inner awakening, however, also can bring pain and impedance, let grow stagnant.Even the smartest astrologers, cannot replace the director himself to experience this mental process.One-time astrological consultation tend to little effect, therefore, astrologers to learn from the psychological consultant related skills and attitudes, establish sincere trust relationship in particular and director, for a long time continuously with egotism, assist the director through psychological metamorphosis of pain.

When the existence of individual awareness to suppress, for their own psychological mode, behavior mode after a sufficient insight, the next step is to try to transform the existing in our daily life pattern and tendency.In this level, the astrological consultation follow is more subtle than psychological counseling accurate energy law, as well as the overall "the law of conservation of energy.This tool by birth chart, on the one hand, astrologers can give egotism is pointed out that the positive operation of some kind of mental energy, assist the director of pent-up energy released in the form of health;Astrologers, on the other hand, you can also specify how to effectively integrate different conflict between energy, by multiple energy operation, carries on the coordination between the various mental energy, so as to guide the creative self-fulfilling.

Below, we to specifically investigate the operation mechanism of depression in the chart, and the corresponding transformation method.

Repression mechanisms (a) : "this I" stars of the weak

Energy conversion strategy: "this I" positive operation

Chart the basic mechanism of repression, embodied in the specific combination of "planet - constellation".Five personal planets in the moon, Venus, Mars, are to some extent with the "id" colour, its because of the mental energy is easy to be cut off in the subconscious.When the planets are in a "trap" and "weak" position, the planet with innate energy restrain tendency, easily subject to depressive effect to achieve the purpose of protection of "self".

Specifically: the moon in Capricorn,Scorpio, tend to suppress their instinct of emotions and emotional response;Venus inAries, Scorpio,virgo, tend to suppress their instinct demand, value demand of close and hedonistic impulse;Landed on Marslibra、Taurus、cancer, it will tend to suppress her physical instinct desire, drive, competitive and angry response action.Corresponding personality repression of these stars can also cause problems: the moon depression caused by emotional energy of obstruction, emotional rigid, lack of ability to interact with others' emotions, which constantly accumulated in the subconscious negative emotions, cause mental and physical health problems;Venus depression caused a feeling of closeness, pleasure and the lack of self-worth, lack the ability to love yourself, love others, causing the love life, relationships, money problems;Mars depression caused by sexual apathy, impotence, or addiction, lack of motivation and decisive force, unable to express anger, which can cause physical and mental health problems.

When on behalf of the "id" of the moon, Venus, Mars in a weak position, individual especially need to strengthen the "self" (the sun, mercury) awareness, "this I" demand into account, at the same time, it contains the mental energy oriented constructive pipeline.For example, a sun and mercury in Pisces, moon in Capricorn, due to the desire and everything in between sympathize with empathy, to himself and other people's mind is very sensitive to subtle awareness, he tends to suppress their own instinct emotion, to ensure that the consciousness in and outside the harmonious fusion of the appearance of;But at the same time, its internal mastery and unconsciously show it and cause serious, authoritative, rigid impression to the person.In fact, this person need to "this me" awareness of "control, leading and management" (Capricorn energy nature) requirements, learning responsible for their own internal emotion, and try to establish the structure of life and the sense of order, will be the life ideal of self,PiscesThe energy) implementation in specific life.As a means of coordination, this person should be moderately prohibited outside interference with a plethora of information, to give yourself more time alone, can we truly digest intrinsic emotion experience, and have enough concentration to practice their ideal.

Again, for example, if the sun, mercury, Venus is in Scorpio, self eager to the truth, and insight into the nature of things by strong emotion and intuition to release the creativity, but easily excessive subsidence in the subjective emotion world, has a deep connection to the relationship between the suspect and credibility, difficult to express love easily, perceived joy and happiness;Intense desire at the same time, the inner orientation may be some alternative content, such as sex or money.So, the person need inner awareness of "deep connection, intimate co-existence" demand (Scorpio energy nature), attempt to establish deep intimate relationship, honest, trust each other, learn to express negative feelings.In addition, can also be Venus Scorpio's energy towards honest deep friendship, aesthetic creative activities in the field of art, and the value of the intangible resources, mining.

Suppression mechanism (2) : the negative operation of Saturn and Pluto

Transformation strategy: the positive operation of Saturn and Pluto

From the point of the nature of the planets, the two social planet Saturn and Pluto has an innate tendency of caloric restriction.Saturn typically embodies the watchdog role from "superego", and Pluto is collective unconscious.Psychoanalytic thought "depressed" one of the main role is to protect self-esteem and psychological is not threatened, the role in Saturn and Pluto energy operation there is particularly prominent.

First of all, Saturn and Pluto falls in the chart, including signs, house, are likely to cause the individual in the related field of life have deep inferiority complex, thus produce inexplicable fear, defensive and self-handicapping.For example, when Saturn or Pluto falls on the first palace, especially the rise in conjunction point of time, individuals feel hesitate to enter the outer world and fear, instinctively think it difficult to cope with difficult and dangerous to the outside world, and then the rest of the world people and things have very strong responsibility, not awareness.If Saturn or Pluto in the third, the experience of his own heart smart power, interpersonal communication ability, speech expression feel insecure, then in mental activity, interpersonal relationship, communication is formed in the shrinking tendency and defensive.

Second, five personal planet Saturn and Pluto and the tension between phase (including conjunction), also can give the relevant personality to bring a deeply rooted inferiority complex, and fear, doubt and strong defensive.For example, tension, formed between Saturn and Pluto and the sun to let individual lack of self-confidence and vitality, is difficult to establish identity, find spiritual goals.Tension, formed between Saturn and Pluto and the moon to individual lack of emotions flow and balance ability, lack of emotional security, it is difficult to get emotional calm and peaceful.Tension, formed between Saturn and Pluto and Venus for individuals to easily express emotion, establish interpersonal intimacy, to enjoy the fun of life is hard to get emotional satisfaction.Tension, formed between Saturn and Pluto and Mars allow individuals to release the body energy easily, smoothly expressed desire, active and positive action, easy to cause personal will sense of frustration and lack of power.

However, Saturn and Pluto's operation mechanism and the specific differences.Saturn is on behalf of the social value of "superego", it will intent molding social performance of the individual, its negative operations to make wrong, alienation of faith.While Pluto is deep subconscious contain hidden mental energy, intended to strengthen and stabilize the deep psychological root, therefore, the negative psychological pattern of operation easy continuation of old, refused to expose the weaknesses and defects, psychological rejects to change themselves, causing intense conflicts and the outside world.Tension of Saturn and the sun, for example, individuals trying to build in line with the external social expectation of identity, in order to make up for the lack of inner self identity.And tension of Pluto and the sun, individuals trying to resist the influence of the outside world, hidden self, self control, or by ruthless manipulation of the outside world and power struggle, to guarantee the existence of the self is not threatened.

Accordingly, the transformation strategy is different also.Saturn's positive operation is that the individual in the related level to conform to the laws of a reality, structural principle, from practical experience of hone, forge a personal professional ability and concrete results.For example, PlutoGemini, conjunction point rising, means that the individual in the process of interaction with the outside world, must constantly hone their heart smart power and communication power of expression, is devoted to professional knowledge in the field of study, or is engaged in need a lot of thinking, communication, expression and expression of the nature of the work.If tension phase formed between Saturn and Mars, the individual in the display of will, desire, action, must pay attention to the external reality requirements, continuously hone their will, perseverance and behavior patterns.Can through the way of physical exercise, such as fitness, martial arts, to forge and crisis facing fear physical quality;Can lock in a long-term, realistic goals unremitting effort, to develop the corresponding professional ability.

Pluto's function, positive individuals at the relevant level reveal deep shadows and desire, with a purifying, healing, metamorphosis and regeneration, should deeply dig their potential at the same time, find the source of inner strength.Pluto falls in the eleventh house,, for example, the individual in the face of the community friends and strangers interpersonal interaction, must reveal the inner fears and defensive, transformation of self tend to hide or manipulating others, simultaneously has the potential to play club faithful bridge between friends, and is likely to contribute to the transformation of social collective consciousness.If tension phase formed between Pluto and the moon, the individual must be the native family pain experience, and the mother of the relationship between crisis, release pent-up emotion, to the lack of strong emotional upset, the excessive intimacy, persistence, and a power struggle between the partners.At the same time, the individual can also dug up to help others cope with crisis, transformation, the potential of healing the emotional wounds, such as become experts crisis intervention or a therapist.

Suppression mechanism (3) : the planet is subject to water like a palace

Transformation strategy: like house the positive operation of water

From the point of view of the house, three water like house are field containing unconscious and collective unconscious.When the sun, Mars in the house is a planet of positive traits and water is in conflict with the negative traits like a house, can lead to mental energy contained planets were suppressed.When Saturn and Pluto in the house, is even more strengthened the water like a house of closure, easy to emotion, mood, instinct completely blocked, such as deep in the subconscious.

First of all, the 4th house is to absorb and digest the native area of family experience, emotional experience.When the planets in the fourth house, individuals must explore the emotional memory of childhood legacy, and the relationship between the native family (father or mother) issues, to release pent-up mental energy.

In particular, the sun in the fourth house, easy to cause the lack of sense of self identity;Must explore the complex relationship between the father and, clarify the subtle influence of his father in the process of growth, such as his father look too important, or outright rejection to his father's approval.The positive energy in motion is to develop their own independent identity, especially through the establishment of our own family for emotional support.In addition, also can through art creation, or engaged in household, catering, real estate and other industries, to release the unique creative potential.

If Pluto is in the fourth house, individual especially need to explore deep childhood trauma or emotional issues, such as the image of father complex refractory, father's violence or death caused by the psychological impact.The positive energy in motion was established and the depths of the unconscious emotional feeling, let them exposure, to transform the inner tension and crisis.In addition, also can through to explore psychology, metaphysics, archaeology, anthropology, or by the artistic creation, deep sea diving and other activities to release the underlying emotional energy that is transformed into creative potential.

Secondly, in the eighth house, in the collective unconscious desire deep subconscious, taboo and fear appears as a person's "shadow".When the planet in the eighth house is, the individual must uncover and to purify the inner deep psychological shadow, including all kinds of desires and fears, emotional vulnerability and the dark side.

Specifically, in the eighth house is the sun, strong sense of crisis will cause self, suspicion and mistrust of others, and then stop the individual into the outside world and relationship;Must reveal your inner dark cognition, introspection and spiritual transformation.The positive energy in motion is that, through profound blend of intimate relationships, and your partner live out the height and depth of life, to achieve the transformation of self.In addition, can also through the integration of social resources, to explore complex things, as well as in areas such as finance, insurance, tax, to release your inner potential.

If Saturn in the eighth house, will make the special fear of emotional self weak planes and shadows, causing the emotional rigidity, callous, horrified at "sex", "sex" or completely use to replace the emotional intimacy, it is difficult to establish a real relationship.Therefore, individuals must reveal deep fear of negative emotions and escape, the fear of death, safety of life and mysteries.Its operation is positive, face to face with deeper problems that exist in the relationship, particularly with respect to the problem of the "sex" and common property, trying to build relationships, trust each other are willing to open up, pay a deep commitment to bear corresponding responsibility.In addition, also can through the study of life and death, the metaphysics, psychology, psychological treatment, hospice care, and other industries, to deep shadows in the subconscious.

If Pluto in the eighth house, in the collective unconscious desire and fear are concentrated in this kind of person, easy to cause mental nervous, power struggles in close relationships and emotional violence, controlled by the desire of the involved not Aaron love, or extremely from close integration.They have to deeply explore the inner desire and fear, and turning it into a powerful spiritual force.Positive energy in motion is, face to face with close relationships of jealousy, doubt, possessiveness, control the desire, such as emotional undercurrents, attempts to establish a trust each other, deep fusion partner relationship.In addition, also can through the study of life and death, the metaphysics, psychology and in psychotherapy, hospice care, medical, pharmaceutical, energy development, ecological environmental protection, finance, insurance, tax, and other fields, to release the deep subconscious contain hidden potential.

Finally, the 12th house is the collective unconsciousThe sea, buried all human emotional memories and psychological archetype.When the planets in the twelfth house, the individual must explore innate personality defects and weaknesses, by religious or spiritual practices to achieve transformation of the soul;At the same time must discover hidden potential, contribute to the metamorphosis of the collective human consciousness.

In particular, as the sun in the twelfth house is "ego" floating in the sea of the subconscious, easy to get lost in the chaos of nothing vulnerable weakness;Must to explore and to clarify their own identity, also must go beyond the individual consciousness, to explore the bottom of the collective unconscious.Positive energy in motion is, face to face with exploring the spiritual experience, irrational, dedicated to serve others in spiritual and mental level;At the same time to avoid being overwhelmed with negative information in the collective energy field, so regularly take time to retreat or self purification.This kind of person has a hidden talent and unique creativity, must have the awareness to use, often can also borrow from art, literature, religion, politics and other pipeline to release their potential.

If Mars in the twelfth house, desire, sex drive and line power by micro factors hidden in the subconscious, easy to cause the body energy depression, anger, depression, irrational fears, it is difficult to establish clear personal goals.Therefore, the individual must be aware in the sense of lack of power, and explore what is the root cause.Positive energy in motion is, engaged in some physical exercise, such as yoga, tai chi, dance, etc., to learn to release pent-up anger in a constructive way, and the effort to pursue the spiritual goal.Such people often can also explore the potential of sport, machinery, military, or the energy invested in the nature of the work.

From the above chart parsing the different level "depressed" this defense mechanism of operation.Need to be added, when the two planets into conjunction between phase or nervous, the intersection of two different mental energy to form intense or collision, have the upper hand of the planet at this time is likely to cause on another planet, leading to related psychological pent-up energy.This situation requires a combination of planet constellation, house to do concrete analysis and research.For example, in Scorpio, the palace of the sun, and fell inAquarius:Phase, the 4th house Mars into 90 degrees.At this time the sun in the house of ego, is a strong side, and Mars in the water like a house not only was suppressed, and the sun's energy into conflict.Therefore, Mars trails in depressive topic is dual emphasis on four palace.In this case, the individual must learn to release and express their anger, rather than take the attitude of indifference alienation to escape.Individuals also must find expression the effective channel for inner passion and innovation ability to transform the desire target and action in frustration.

In the actual cases, the chart of single face is not enough to cause serious psychological distress and personality problems, and the multiple facets of superposition has the potential to suppress deepening, make bigger psychological conflict.The moon in Capricorn is located in, for example, at the same time and in the fourth house Pluto into 90 degrees, is an extreme example.In this case, the individual is not only to the moon "this I" demand into account, and to combine the Capricorn moon, Pluto trails in four palace, on the positive operation of ghost 90 degrees, can suppress mental energy into creative potential.(The zodiac /astro/)

Our birth chart can be seen as the "growing" of life, each to contain the hiding power operation of rule of law of positive and negative, and diverse energy areas of operations.For the astrologers, the ideal vision is to assist the director to cognition to the operation of positive law, and to achieve a harmonious resonance between operating in diverse fields, let chart reflects life prototype integrates complete direction to develop.So, all as is, all the self sufficient.
