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.
