I Am Real. At least, I’m Incarnate.
I had abusive parents. My siblings, extended family, and community were also abusive. I am exactly what they all variously thought they hated, but None of them ever saw the real me.
Ie., for the first seven years of my life, my mother called me a retard and a cripple. I have never been either. She just couldn’t tell.
A huge part of their misperceptions is that they were projecting onto me; and they wanted someone to hate and hurt and punish, because they loathed themselves.
Now, I used to say, “I am my father’s daughter”, when I would do the kinds of rotten things he did. I saw that it was bad, and struggled to stop doing it. That’s the difference- Free Will.
If you look at my chart, I have Moon conjunct South Node conjunct Neptune; and I have Mars square the Moon; as well as Mars semi-square Mercury. Some poor fool would look at me, and think they detected prey- a cripple and a retard. They would assault or insult me, and I would beat them like a drum. I was vengeful. I was suspicious. I was Hateful. I can be subtly or openly menacing- think Samuel L. Jackson. That was my dad’s vibe- and I was my father’s daughter.
But I changed.
My chart says, if I am honest about it, that I should be a bitter, angry, violent, sarcastic person with a tongue like a whip. But I Chose To Try. I chose to be good, and do good.
Your Chart Dies Not Doom You. It didn’t force our parents to be who they were. They chose that for themselves.
It’s Simple, but it’s Not Easy: Every time I have a choice to make, I try to choose what would be best for all. When I see the Good, I turn towards it; when I see my Errors, I turn away from them.
It seems to be working. I’m healing, and I’m much happier.
I hope what I said makes sense, FVRKAN.
