Hi all. I recently joined and posted my chart up asking advice regarding my life's conflict of having lots of passion and ideas but somehow being blocked in bringing them into the world or into a career. I have been struggling with this conflict for most of my adult life (im 33) and particularly since my Saturn return whereupon I began to feel confused and paralysed in my ability to function in the world. I get very passionate about certain pursuits researching them with vigour, but as soon as its time to implement them in the world, something in me becomes paralysed and I give up. Ive done a million courses in a million subjects that I lose interest in just before I finish them.
This subject has been bothering me compulsively lately, and last night before bed, I asked my guides to please give me an answer as to why I can never stick to anything or find a fullfiling career. In that state between asleep and awake in big capital letters came the phrase 'THE TRAUMA OF CHILDBIRTH MUST BE HONOURED' in my mind. I pieced it all together and finally realized the significance of the trauma my mother endured while she was pregnant to me. My brother nearly got burnt alive while she was about 4months pregnant with me, and the next few months were spent by his bedsit terrified that he would die (my Saturn in the 8th house of birth).
It dawned on me that since my Saturn return when this trauma was trigerred, I have never felt life to be 'safe' - I since suffered from panic attacks and terrors in the night that somehow I am in danger. It makes sense that in the womb there would have been a sense of 'life out there isn't safe' and a sense of wanting to keep my being safe and not to be born to 'out there' (3 planets including Sun in the 12th house - the womb). MOre importantly this could explain my problems in bringing out who I am into the world (first house of beginnings). So every time I would decide on a career the thought of getting out into the real world triggered off a sense of terror - of 'being born' and I immediately retreated back into my shell. I am a talented intelligent woman of 33 and have never really held down a job. THis has been very traumatising to my self esteem and my Capricorn asc so you can imagine my relief and getting some insight into why I am like that.
I think the reason why all this is rising to consciousness is because Pluto is making a transit into my ascendant as we speak - forcing my birth into the world so to speak. Im thinking of doing one of those rebirthing workshops - perhaps it will help heal the wound. My asc is in capricorn a very ambitious sign - to be blocked in succeeding in my goals has been rather difficult to take. Also transiting Saturn has just hit my natal Pluto in my chart (itself squaring transiting Pluto on my AC).
I can see how Pluto is forcing the removal of everything from my life which has been holding me back in the 12th house and preventing me from being born into the world properly with identy intact. My Venus is in the first house currently conjunct transiting Pluto. This makes sense since the main way in which I have avoided going into the world has been through relationship with someone for 10 years who has the same fears - we formed our own private world together giving eachother excuses as to why the world wasnt worth entering. I can feel in my heart that this relationship is going to have to come to an end. Painful and scary.
Anyway, I hope this insight has helped anyone with similar story. I think wherever Saturn is will show where limitations have blocked a persons authentic expression in life (mine in 8th house of birth and death) and the house it rules (my asc/1st house of beginnings or self expression) is where they have the most debilitating effect but where work needs to be done to achieve success.
