#woundedness

* * * * "We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds — the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise." Caroline Myss

“A wound gives off its own light surgeons say. If all the lamps in the house were turned out you could dress this wound by what shines from it.” — Anne Carson

 Mercury opposes Chiron in Aries while the Moon is on the North Node. Some sort of communication or even your own mind makes you aware of your vulnerability. You receive a message, participate in a conversation, or read an article that opens a new understanding of your perceived woundedness. Sometimes, it is you who are able to help someone else heal his or her wound with your words, in the manner indicated by your natal Chiron by Sign and House in your Chart. 

 The Moon in contact with her North Node increases the sensitivity, especially related to family and motherly matters, in a way that favors your daily domestic activity. Your mother or a mother figure may play an important role in your life for a couple of hours today. Or you yourself may nurture someone else. Even stomach problems may feel better during that time. 

 Saturn is also exactly quincunx the North Node, which demands recalibration of your direction, indicated by the Sign of Gemini. Some kind of discipline, restrain, patience or hard work is necessary in order to acquire information, learn a new skill, or have a social contact with team mates, siblings or neighbors. Enjoy the healing today. We are the Cosmos.

title: Knowing.

genesis:i think everyone of us is walking around with varying degrees of psychological wounds that we accumulate through life. relationships with family, friends, partners,school mates and general interactions of every day life imprint on us, consciously or not.

for better or worse, some imprints are only skin deep, while other imprints scar all the way through the psyche and heart. and if we do not acknowledge these wounds and try to understand their existence in order to learn and heal, such open cuts become infected and contaminate our perception of ourselves, other people and the world around us.

it is a rare person who has not been hurt by another. we demean each other with words. cut each other with sharpened sentences. we wound as we were wounded. and the cycle will only stop when we have the courage to look to ourselves and question our own actions. analyse our own fears. accept our own ignorance. we do not hit out at 'another', only the shadow of the 'other (our)self", kept at arms distance from our awareness.

Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.
