I keep coming back to writing about projection, I think it’s because I want to know where all the energy leaks out from my astrological chart. The little pictures of the planets are dotted around my chart, why can’t I have access to them? Where am I seeping out their energies, if I’m unable to […]

-spoiler warnings for last two paragraphs- If you’re a Type Four, especially if you’re feeling stuck, I highly recommend watching the movie Girl Interrupted on Netflix. In it, Susanna (Wynona Rider) gets admitted to a mental hospital in the 1960’s after trying to commit suicide and makes some friends on the inside, one of whom

I am slowly working my way through Bea and Uranio’s youtube videos, and I’ve got a spreadsheet to help me keep track. This week, I listened to their interview with Self-Preservation Type 4 Ian Morgan Cron, and I was reminded that I have an entire shadow that I’ve barely glanced at spiritually: envy, which is

Last year I had an epiphany about a problematic signature in my astrological chart: a t-square between Mars, Neptune, and Saturn/North Node, and as per the few teachings I’ve been able to find about t-squares, I’ve learned that they produce projection. Anatomically, the apex planet of a t-square acts like chalk to delienate a major

On the topic of politics from yesterday, here’s another way the right-left divide is exacertabed unnecessarily: the political gap is as much about us feeling unheard and invalidated in our respective intelligence centre as it is about different values. I used to fight with my dad- he is a head type (5/6) and I’m a

Last weekend, my boyfriend and I drove out to his family farm to get a big garden area ready for planting, and as I was jumping up and down to dig my fork into the soil, I wondered if maybe my chart was made for farm life, with my Saturn so prominent on the MC,

I want to talk about an insight I had earlier this week. I have been preparing for a talk on the Enneagram that I’ll be giving at the Regina Public Library, but as with everything that involves producing something tangible, I have been struggling with a feeling of intense paralysis around the writing process. I

In my early thirties when I was starting to get discouraged that I wasn’t getting the leadership positions I thought I should been getting by that age, I heard a line from my spiritual teacher that made my jaw drop with its simplicity. It was Russ Hudson at the Part II Enneagram workshop- he said,

I was looking up an old Robert A. Johnson interview I had seen a while ago on youtube, and I was looking for the comment I had made under the video. With my 3rd house lord, Saturn, conjunct the north node, I can find something to complain about with the most brilliant of thinkers (Saturn

I was so excited about blogging this morning, I woke up at 5:40 am. I just graduated with my degree in political science last April (took me 20 years!), and politics has weighed heavy on my mind of late. Politics is as much about policy as it is about psychology, and I would like to
