Shadow – thrives on power of passing on private or secret information – betraying confidences.
Assess how many life lessons have emerged from participating in gossip that has harmed another or from rating a relationship by whether a person is willing to share secrets with you.
Yes, well, I’ve recently left a workplace where this shadow archetype has infested the walls, floors and each and every tiny little crevice. It wasn’t only evident it held the power of the people – that means, it was crucial to your survival to be a part of the gaggle. This archetype can be very damaging. I cannot express my distaste more strongly than to say I find the shadow side of this archetype to be destructive for everyone involved.
On the positive side of this archetype we have the “networker”. I have deliberately embraced this role many times – quite effectively too I might add.
It is a number seven day and the energy of this number takes us on an inner or spiritual journey. Calm and serene thoughts capture our imagination and give us the impetus to carry us toward a new horizon. This does not portend as a lazy day rather of sitting back and allowing the movement of life takes us to some far off destination without a ticket to ride. Actually, that was the ring tone I had on my phone when I worked with the “gossips” – she’s got a ticket to ride and she don’t care!
Our reading this morning aligns with the movement of the cosmos. The Hermit is cautious in his daily stride. He watches carefully as he manoeuvres the pot holes.
The Tower represents Uranus and the sudden reversals of this chaotic planet. From Pisces to Aries and now back to Pisces – no wonder we have whiplash with the perpetual motion of this raging planet. Ride with the thunder and lightning and you will be safe.
The Lovers advocate that communication is the key to a successful relationship. Speak up and layer your words with truth straight from your soul. Find a balance in all things and seek love in all people – your heart will be liberated from the bondage of fear.
The Moon moves into our earthy and pragmatic second house of Taurus. Practical reasoning will repair the damage the gossips have wreaked upon your self esteem.
The Moon rules our emotions and how we socialise. It is clear what a magical and practical role she will play in navigating the flotsam and jetsam of the carnage from our past. The rational perspective will disentangle the harmful barbs.
Consider this: the shadow gossip seeks power from the negative dialogue that infests our souls. The other side of that is they feel powerless and fearful – sad but true.
