crimsoncurrentLibra 1st degree
A BUTTERFLY MADE PERFECT BY A DART
THROUGH IT
THERAPEUTIC PAIN
GENERAL INTERPRETATION
Now or soon you are reminded that the value and significance of
whatever it is that concerns you is made effective and substantial
through commitment to some very real task or relationship which
unavoidably involves a degree of pain. But it is this pain that acts as
a sharp reminder that one is caught up in a process of transformation
and healing – much as a dentist's drill or hypodermic needle might
hurt. When the Sun is on this degree it is the Autumnal Equinox, that
perfect moment when night equals day.
KEEP FOCUSED ON …a willingness to forsake the lesser in
favour of something greater which in turn makes you more acutely
aware of the true significance of your state and being.
WATCH OUT FOR …a swinging between elusiveness and
capture, between a fear of commitment and devotion, that amounts to
nothing but meaningless pain and confusion.
LOVE/RELATING/SOCIAL
You are involved in a highly important and significant state of
feeling or relationship. The pain or vulnerability you feel is the very
thing that connects you to the other person and thereby to your own
heart. And in so doing, you and the other person are transformed to
some degree.
KEEP FOCUSED ON …any incident or experience that somehow
makes you more in touch with how you actually feel, as distinct from
how you think or think you feel or think you ought to feel.
WATCH OUT FOR …wallowing in pain while not allowing its
meaning to fully penetrate you. …disallowing another their pain and
therefore their transformation because of your own fear of pain and
change, because of a need to keep things 'just as they are'.
MONEY/WORK/CREATIVITY
Unless you are totally committed to the process of achieving your
ambitions then you are in danger of stagnating or being brought to a
halt by a world that fails to appreciate what you have to offer or are
trying to do. Financially, this could be referring to frozen assets or
simply unused resources.
KEEP FOCUSED ON …enduring through thick and thin the ups
and downs of your enterprise. …capturing and preserving the
essence of what you hold to be so dear or important. …whatever
hardships you encounter as being highly necessary to acquiring what
ensures your further progress. …freeing up funds or assets - you
can't take it with you.
WATCH OUT FOR …getting stuck in any situation that does not
allow you to change or progress. …inertia brought on through not
allowing something that wants to 'die' to do so, like carrying around
the 'corpse' of some outworn idea, practice or product.
KARMA/ATTITUDE/HEALTH
The Symbol has enormous significance because it represents
being pinned to the Wheel of Karma or Fortune as the spirit is thrust
into the body or matter and trapped in it, having to go through certain
transformations which are the whole point of Earthly existence. It is
also highly relevant to health, for it through pain that we are made
aware of some condition, and through the condition itself that we can
become aware of what change in lifestyle or outlook is necessary in
order to overcome that complaint – called so because the body is
complaining about the way we are expressing our spirit.
KEEP FOCUSED ON …what any pain is telling you. This means
actually going into the pain rather than trying to avoid or suppress it.
Pain is a messenger and so one must listen to it until you know what
is causing the problem.
WATCH OUT FOR …deadening pain and halting the healing
process – but avoid being masochistic.
