“Good enough” philosophy
My 2nd cousin, my cousin’s daughter was just here visiting with me and my husband this weekend. I hadn’t seen her since 2001 when she was 7 years old at another family gathering. She was born in Europe. She is currently studying philosophy at Oxford. We were talking philosophy a subjective always been interested in.
The synchronicity is This essay was chosen as the winner of the Brooklyn Public Library’s 2019 Night of Philosophy Op- Ed Contest.
Modern New Age spiritual thought is all about “The Law of Attraction” being able to achieve all of your goals which sets up a sometimes unrealistic expectation of entitlement and can be doomed to make you feel worse keeping you in the spinning wheel of trying to achieve by doing more yoga, spending more on workshops, endless self-improvement, and never any acceptance of yourself and others and the world as it is.
D. W. Winnicott is an important figure in modern psychoanalysis who talked about “the good enough” concept. Which is also a philosophical school of thought. Read the full article here,
Psyche, soul making, healing, Ghomeshi trial
On Easter Sunday the day of death and resurrection for the world’s largest religion on the planet, the Moon in Scorpio is a perfect sign to mirror the ancient archetypal story. Deception, betrayal, power, corruption, soul, secrets, martyrdom, surrender, death, rebirth, its all there.
Scorpio Moon is obsession territory. There are two more Water Trines from the deepest darkest soul moon to VENUS in PISCES and later to CHIRON in Pisces today.
This got me thinking about soul wounds and the earth plane as the veil of soul making and of the acquittal on all counts of sexual abuse in the recent trial of Jian Ghomeshi in Toronto.
Cupid and Psyche by Francois Gerrard 1798
PSYCHE, means soul or spirit from antiquity and in modern terms Psyche means the totality of the human mind, conscious and unconscious. Psychology is the scientific or objective study of the psyche.
Psyche, is the soul, always considered feminine. Currently Asteroid Psyche is at 21 degrees of GEMINI showing the split in the soul, Psyche is exactly in square to the North and South Nodes of the Moon and opposite to Saturn Lord of Karma in Sagittarius, sign of Justice. VENUS planet of women is conjunct the South Node {the past} of the Moon in PISCES, sign of Christianity and martyrs. JUPITER planet of expansion, justice and humility is conjunct to the NOrth NOde { future} in VIRGO. Sign of meticulous details and memory. The recent sexual abuse trial of Jian Ghomeshi had me thinking about all of this, Scorpio, Easter symbolism. The ‘as above, so below” synchronicity is amazing.
There have been deep psychological wounds in the war between the sexes and in the justice system and in women’s psychology which are being revealed here in order for healing to occur.
This trial showed that any doubt in the testimony cannot allow a judge to make a guilty judgement is what the system is all about. The judge did not say that the accusations weren’t true or that the things the women accused Ghomeshi about didn’t happen. The plaintiffs accusations were put into question because they seemed to display erotic interest in Ghomeshi after he had done abusive things which they had accused him of which was proven through emails and photographs they sent him afterwards to which they all claim to have not remembered.
I do feel that the women who testified were woefully misinformed for whatever reason about what they would be asked and their lawyers certainly weren’t on top of it in their advice to them or very thorough the way Gomeshi’s very highly paid lawyer was.
But there are still deeper SOUL or PSYCHE wounds here. The women testified that Jian had been rough, choking, head bashing, hitting etc. The fact is that they later still wanted to be in some sexual relationship with him which they seemed to be in a state of selective amnesia about. There is a deep sado-masochism displayed here. They all felt deeply ashamed, hurt, ridiculed, and humiliated from the trial and judgement to see Ghomeshi go totally free was devastating for them.
I can see how Mr. Ghomeshi, a successful media star symbolizes power, money, glamour and status to these women. Infering they have none of these.There are many accounts from others that Ghomeshi was abusive towards women. He himself issued a statement when the accusations first came out that he likes rough, S & M sex, he stated that it was all consensual.
What if your soul, is unwittingly split into little pieces, much like horcrux’s in Harry Potter? Then a person is cut off from the wholeness of itself because of emotional traumatic and/or sexual abuse so that the person, the women in this case cannot know or remember what the left or right hand of the soul is doing? The fact that the women did not remember clearly shows to me a case of PTSD and clearly is an admission of latent abusive experiences in their lives. It is a well-known psychological fact that the abused develop a love for their abusers. I am sure that all of these women have been abused before. This is such a common fact it hardly seemed relevant to further examination.
The Laws of attraction work in all cases,to attract “good things” and “negative things.” Like attracts like. The abused attract more abusers because their PSYCHE or soul is attempting to relive the wound in order to heal it. In past life regression stories of sexual, emotional and physical abuse from past lives explain why the person keeps attracting the same situations, energies and patterns.
The psyche or soul is eternal and eternally wise. From the soul’s perspective, the soul incarnates in order to experience through physical and emotional experiences,” lessons”, which it must feel understand, bring to consciousness, complete and keep continually growing into new experiences.
The problem is the fracturing of the soul into many pieces because of the abuse. Victims do not know how to stand up and get the information they need.
This is a much longer and deeper discussion here. I am not saying the judge was correct. I do see that the women’s testimony and the seeming double standard that they wanted Ghomeshi is a complex issue which would require deeper Psychological studies but the judge did not recommend that. Women will always remain the victim who must defend their own feelings, reality and complexities against a single shot Patriarchal masculine system of justice, until it changes.
In a double standard society for men to take responsibility for their own irresponsible sexual behaviours towards women would topple the entire patriarchal system. The problem is the Judge made it seem like the women had lied because they were conflicted. That is not the case. They are simply unconscious. Why is the next step. The trial was ended to quickly. Not to acquit Ghomeshi or any perpetrator but to go deeper into the real cause for the healing of the woman victims is needed.
S & M in my belief is not a healthy, wholesome, natural sexual relationship. It is bullying. The fact that anyone agrees is not the answer either. It is a distorted wound. Love is not inflicting pain because one is numb. It is a signifier of a soul crying out for HELP. There are deep victimized wounds in this type of relationship, ultimately two sides of the same coin.
Ghomeshi himself is a messed up man in my books. An insecure, arrogant, conflicted, unloving, unhealthy, dangerous man with too much power, money and notoriety who himself needs psychological help. He clearly does not know how to love and be loved. . He thinks love is about power and hurting others. He is a bully. I pity him.
As the famous psychologist Carl Jung said> There are only two emotions, love or fear. S + M is about power,and fear, that is not love.
I send healing energy to the women who had their most personal lives displayed in public in an attempt to get some redress for their wounds. They now feel guilty and stupid on top of it all. This only shows how deeply vulnerable women are, and ow the system always puts the female on the defense first. This has just opened the door to more dialogue. The women should not be further blamed but the deeper Psyche needs to be brought into play.

UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD- U2
SOUL SEARCHING Little River Band
Daily Tarot, Mythic potential ASTROLOGY,Love hurts by Tara Greene
WHewh OK that felt pretty intense the MARS URANUS FIRE TRINE STUFF
I had a client yesterday in the U.S. who was born mid April 1965
she was born under a MARS URANUS PLUTO conjunction!
and I realised WOW there are millions of people in that generation world-wide
who got that QUINCUNX from MARS URANUS in Aries! OUCHY
so I have meditated and prayed for some soothing balm..
The TAROT CARD I CHOSE is from the MYTHIC TAROT by British Astrologer LIZ GREENE and Juliet Sharman- Burke
7 of CUPS
TOTALLY SYNCHRONOUS. MARS is men and URANUS is the revolution, the cutting edge
VENUS and the SUN are also match making. MARS & VENUS will meet in ARIES april 6- will write about that
What I am picking up is the loud bang of the new revolution, where WOMEN are really becoming the leaders
in a TRULY FEMININE WAY. BUT its hard on love, hard to break from past traditions that the Patriarchy has held.
7 cups, sevens are the planets, chakras, cycles, Saturn related.
CUPS are open containers, potential, emotions, flow, feelings, Feminine,
the 7 of cups shows PSYCHE- which means SOUL praying to APHRODITE the GODDESS OF LOVE for help
she is humbly kneeling on a rock,
VENUS conjures up 7 possibilities, 7 cups, many potentials. 7 lovers!
But with out the hard work of sorting the seeds-what does PSYCHE really want?
and all the arduous tasks that PSYCHE must face to win her lover EROS back
it is all wishful hopes and dreams.
We are being tested to live by our deepest SOUL TRUTHS right now.
But it is only through keeping the 7 magical Grails OPEN before us as we are tested and work towards fulfilling our goals
will we be able to see them all filled and running over.
STAY OPEN to new POSSIBILITIES.
LIZ GREENE and I are NOT RELATED.

Pisces, heart to heart healing,ATOMIC LOVE BOMBS,more Astrology
I love Freudian slips. Something as simple as a small “t” can change everything. I wrote to someone “I am looking forwards to hearing back from you” and unconsciously I wrote
I look forwards to hearting back from you
and that simple extra t in hearing made it hearting, and it made my heart get all warm and fuzzy, soft and mushy and open
Do you notice how one little letter can change your mood, elate it or deflate it just like that?
heart to heart is a very PISCES sentiment and I really do look forwards to hearting back from you truly,
Moon enters Pisces Mon Jan 14 @ 2:49 am PST/ 5:49 am EST
its a Dreamy Monday for healing the heart of the matter for healing the blues, greens, brown, pinks, lavenders, oranges
PLUTO Conjuncts JUNO – the wise specifically FEMININE GENIUS GODDESS, dumbed down and patriarchalized by the Romans as the faithful doormat wife, I don’t buy that story. WOMEN and men open your hearts to remember in your soul,Pluto, the power of heart to heart healing and compassion that the wise Feminine has. I am watching The Hunger Games again and Katniss Everdeen certainly displays JUNO’s intelligence and compassion,as well as displaying Athena, Diana, etc.
Venus sextiles Chiron, Moon conjuncts Neptune then Chiron the Wounded healing centaur,
Moon makes nice n’ easy sextiles to VENUS AND PLUTO too, bringing compassion for the healing of values, career goals, money, deep soul issues,takeit easy now- you must be ready to act on Wednesday
Jan 14-15
Pisces Moon also Trines Saturn at 10 degrees Scorpio born NOvember 1 or 2nd and also makes a Grand Trine if you are Cancer born JULY 1st or thereabouts. That is Canada’s birth date so compassion for the Natives Idle No More campaign should be more easily accessed today.
Jupiter also brings largesse, optimism, even Retro and sorting out old communications snafus will help clarify matters.
Pisces Moon squares Jupiter Retro at 6 Degrees GEMINI which re-activates the GEMINI LUNAR Eclipse of November 28 2012
things are still under the radar till Jupiter goes direct at the end of the month. During Jupiter Retro in Gemini we can begin to still the mind.
Jupiter also squares Chiron late in the day PST next day EST use this time to pull back as Wednesday is a power packed day
RED LETTER DAY when Moon enters ARIES Wednesday Jan 16 @ 8:07 am PST/11:07 am EST
VENUS Conjuncts PLUTO @ 9 degrees, 53 mins. of Capricorn 5:28 pm PST/8:28 pm EST
and MOON joins URANUS 5:39 pm and creates a FREEDOM OR DIE, ATOMIC LOVE BOMB on Wednesday
atomic hi heel day,DANGER Of radioactive energies, everywhere, bombing,
watch for stock market crashes,it’ll be a wild ride on all avenues, Venus rules women in Business in Capricorn,
Values, luxury, copper, silver,art money and Pluto is the Collective Unconscious.
Uranus is revolutionary ideologies, hi tech solutions to old rigid Saturnian structures.
RELATIONSHIPS may be suddenly and irrevocably reversed!
You may feel PTSD shell shocked-
Need a reading-see link below

Sun squares moon in FIRST QUARTER SQUARE
Moon enters TAURUS fri 18 @ 5:36 pm PST/ 8:36 pm EST

Mercury ENTERS AQUARIUS – 11:25 pm PST- Jan 19 @ 2:25 am stays till Feb 5
SUN enters AQUARIUS Jan 19 1:52 pm PST? 4:52 pm EST
when Sun shifts signs for a month we need to watch what house and which angles the Sun will light up. Check your chart where’s Aquarius in your chart, both Mercury and SUN will aspect them for next few weeks,
Look for that house to be inspired with communications brilliant thinking, forward, revolutionary and unexpected changes of mind and heart and will, as Sun rules those chakras and Vitality as well. You need a serious mid January make-over.
Taurus Moon opposes Saturn later Saturday- ‘STubborn? REALITY CHeck may be harsh, who’s footin’ the bill?
Tasty Taurus Moon trines earthy Venus in Capricorn Late Sat. evening
again enjoy the real tasty down to earth treasures tonight,should make for a romantic love filled evening,

Tender is the Night | Stuart Wilde, Golden dreams
Tender is the Night | Stuart Wilde | The Official Author Website.
Stuart Wilde is one of my favourite spiritual teachers, and I have gone to Las Vegas to see him speak at workshops since 2007. In the recent article he is speaking about heaven on earth.
The Dream of the GOLDEN RAIN
I had an amazing dream Monday Dec 17 ,in the dream it was raining golden rain on everything all night. I woke up feeling great. I thought about Stuart as he talks about the Morph or the Aluna worlds and other other dimensions often having ultra violet flashes -which I have seen lately, a dry rain sensation i n a room, and gold and green light. The golden rain felt wonderful,l I am carrying that feeling within me to wash away any impurities.
You can use the golden rain too. It feels like a pure rain of unconditional golden pure Love and Light from the Goddess. Spread this around please. enjoy
blessings TARA
