"I just threw Parsifal out as an example. No special personal significance there, if that is what you mean"

Amiable

The myth relates to Leo. Do a google search.
As I say I can't give this the time it needs just at the moment but I just googles it quickly as an example and found this article:

<I don't agree with the animus-anima distinction (though it's Jung's ;). I think both are made of multiple archetypal images.> Could be.

<Do exapand on the allegorical characters. Do you find yourself in the middle of some animus projection? multiple.. and simultaneously so?>

Yes. The individuals themselves are on an axis ~ Aries and Libra. The Aries acts more Libran and the Libran identifies with Scorpio, formerly ruled by Mars. The allegory is the same one that has repeated throughout my life ~ the outward, conventional self that is prone to security and stability, and the inward, probing self that goes where both angels and fools fear to tread presenting themselves as unintegrated facets of Self. LOL. The Lovers card in Tarot also comes to mind in this scenario, although at the moment I can reside in a position of not needing to make any choices. Interestingly enough, I have never been successful in the past in choosing one over another, which leads me to believe that this is not a matter of choosing between people, just as it is not a matter of choosing between parts of Self, but figuring out how to integrate opposites within me.

BTW, folks ~ his Red Book is being published. That was his personal and self-illustrated transformation journal that his family has suppressed from public view all these years. The edition is a facsimile, which is a brilliant idea.

My sister and her friend were using a Ouija board when she was about 16 or 17 years old, and my sister told me they asked if Satan was real. My sister's story is that upon asking the question, the little spyglass thingy flew off the board, the board burst into flames, and all that was left of it was the word "yes".

Ouija boards may work fine if someone knows how to properly banish a space and do basic invocations, but it's just not my cup of tea.

I will definitely have to check out some Jung. I think now that I have a better grasp of the basics of astrology I am more equipped to understand topics about karma and looking at your own issues that need to be faced (otherwise you will be forced to face them anyway).

No, I don't use Ouija anymore either and haven't for about 5 months. As with most areas of the occult, I don't think it is entirely bad for those who can use it properly, but I am not one of those people. I do think that my Uranus in the 9th transit was some sort of awakening, but part of that is being lured into wrong areas of the occult, or being deceived in that area. Neptune aspects at the same time would definitely strengthen that issue, and I did have those for a while. Neptune especially seems to test you by making a cloud of delusion, so that you think something is right when it is not. Once Neptune goes away, you have to figure out the truth. I would consider astrology to fall under the 9th, as well as magic, and tarot. I mostly go to astrology now when I have a life question. It is safer in many ways, and I try to stay as objective as possible.

regards: Heh, intense mind fuckery is what its all about

Heh, perhaps if stuck or manipulating the process .

should be called stop banging on my bathroom door, mind constipation .

potty training ?

Oh Freud ! he seems to always be lurking interwoven in there some where. LOL!

i am beginning to think that he is part of these animus archtypes an unconscious endearments .

my potty training was such a wonderful experience but love has been bittersweet.

I am forever boggled by the potty training process but have gotten quite the knack of it but the wiping can be unpredictable

I know a woman with almost all of her planets in the 9-12 houses. I've never heard of the rootless theory, but it really clicked when you wrote that in regards to her. She doesn't have adopted parents, but her father was absent and then he died a couple years ago without her ever reconciling with him. Her ASC is Leo, and her Sun is in the 9th house conjunct NN, Jupiter, and the MC in Aries and her moon is in 10th house Aries (oddly considering aries rules the head and war, her father died of a brain aneurysm and both her parents were in the military).

I wish I knew more about the IC, too. My mother's Pluto is conjunct my IC, for instance, and it'd be interesting to know what that means.

Where is your Uranus Saber?

LOL! A professional astrologer once looked into my eyes when he first met me and said he saw Neptune. That struck me as so funny.

Well, it seems to me that has it just managed to make me seem sexy. And yeah, that complicates things. And you are right ~ it is not their problem, it is mine, at the end of the day. What I am saying from my Aqua Moon here is that what interests me about all this is very mental, cerebral, intellectual, analytical. I find what is happening fascinating on that level. Aqua Moon, Virgo rising, Virgo Mercury Mercury chart ruler. The mind to me is totally sexy. Uranus stirs things up opposing that Aqua moon. But I have to say that all that is sexy to me is really in my mind.

Ya gotta meet me in mind. It is really the only way I can become addicted. Neptune may suck them in, but they will have to cope with Uranus at the end of the day. The Pluto Sun in 12H Leo? I'm just saying that I have yet to meet a man who wants to go there with me or dares to do that. And that's really okay. I am 53 now, and I just don't give a shit. If I died tomorrow, that would be fine because I feel I have and am now doing my bit. This is all gravy. Total gravy. God forbid that I ever fall in love again, since I am positive that would be completely disastrous. But the likelihood of that is so remote, that it really doesn't bother me. I have only suffered that twice in my life, an never with anyone I married, and I did that three times. No. The likelihood of your crazy aunt amiablehermit getting into Neptune waters is quite remote. She is essentially a high forest gal who likes her time to herself. Hell! The prospect of having to share space and time with anyone just freaks her out! This is an interesting adventure, but I seriously doubt that anything will come of it but some new language for me ~ at best. Honestly, I have no expectations of people and expect none of them. Shit! After all this time and all my experiences? LOL! A comfy closure in Astroville sounds swell to me with FaF's magic pink thermos of hot ruddered bums and LOTZ's holographic harem processing up Axis Street to the planetarium for their Lodge meetings and Captain Chiron in his mobile home welcoming his Christmas visitors and varoom chatting away at the kitchen table borrowing a cup of sugar and my passing out in front of my fire pit at my own Halloween party and dreaming Loreena McKinnet songs while meanwhile the Large Hadron Particle Collider in the basement of my tesseract 12th House is perking away, even though my library keeps going missing, but Makaranda and FaF will help me drag out the magic carpet from my cupboard to help steveo see his baby daughter in Australia ~ and I really can't complain about of anything really. I just think almost nobody gets me except people who just don't fucking care if I happen to make sense or not.

Now tell me, what possible chance do I have getting either of these two gentlemen, as they most certainly are, to buy into the likes of me? LOL! Would you???? I can't imagine anyone but myself living with myself, so the issue is ~ really ~ just how far do I let anyone partake of the whimsical chaos that is who I am? Yeah, I do see Neptune here, as you say, but Neptune just blanches all nuts, doesn't he? So who can care? LOL! Not I anymore. Sorry, but even psychic integration or reconciling of opposites or THE GRAIL QUEST looks hilarious to me. Because I find myself such a joke all the way around. Now talk to me about forced organ transplants or the usurping of Americans' civil liberties by wormy acts of Congress, and you have a whole new ballgame. I am willing to die violently for that kind of stuff.

BabyE,

Could you by any chance explain to me what your being a 'sponge' and the 'lack of boundaries' mean in the concrete sense? It's never been clear to me why people with prominent neptune feel this way.
