Or are there any companions during such a process?
Though there are many dark nights of the soul, times of life of despair and no light at the end of the tunnel... during such times, are we meant to be totally alone, or have some companion around?
From what I've learned personally, and read about, I feel that perhaps it is a solitary journey. Perhaps, on the inner journeys of the soul, it is up to the individual to process what comes up, in the way that is best for them, then to later bring this knowledge into the world.
For me, I love people, but now find myself without what I term, any true friends. Three or four years back, I cut my circle of friends down as my own life path changed, became more healthier and didn't blend with the prior friendship's social activities. Now, I am going through a very painful process and have found, the few friends that I had left, just haven't been there for me. Its been sad as I thought these were true friends, but they've just vanished. I have no one to bounce my ideas off and feel quite isolated. I do have self awareness, through meditation and the energy that creates (awareness meditation opposed to other types), which helps me to step back and see my situation. When I would have loved a friend to just send me a message to ask how I was, there was nothing. Maybe I expect more as I do so much more for my friends, so need to let these expectations go.
For me, I am learning to be content in isolation, rather than lonely, though much of my life has been quite lonely. Or it seems to be more of an emphasis on the lonliness, perhaps because I find that most painful. There have been happy times too. Perhaps that is the lesson of the north node conjunct neptune in the 12th house, square Moon (bla bla) in isolation. Though at times, I get fed up with it.
Perhaps it's linked with my own astrological transits, Saturn going through my 11th house right now, thinning and limiting and/or concentrating my friendship zone. Transiting Neptune is now conjuncting natal Moon and progressed Sun conjunction. Seeing as those two planets, 'lights' are pretty much a great deal of the personality, I maybe getting more and more lost as the months roll on.
Not sure my question is clear, but really I am just looking for other people's experiences of the dark night of the soul. Did you have companions to lean on, talk to, or was/is it a solitary path?
I've attached my chart, showing transits and progressions.
