It's interesting to watch what happens in close relationships when one partner or the other "changes the rules" - as in your case, with speaking up. I like the symbolism of the eclipse to your natal Mercury nudging you to "speak up." It seems to obvious now that you mention it, but I hadn't thought of that at all! Luna... it is strange, isn't it, to think about how uncomfortable we can feel when people are nice to us! Until you've internalized the supportive messages and signed off on them yourself, it's hard to believe it when you hear them from other people. Welcome, and thanks for reading the blog. :) Good luck, Pat.

One thing especially hit me, when you said: Yes, being treated with love and kindness can be just as disconcerting as being treated with indifference or outright dislike, if you don’t believe you are worthy of that love and kindness. How strange but true that is, what an eye opener :) I have only just found this site but will be coming for more... L Hi April,

My partner hasn't spoken for three weeks (withholds emotions) and I now recognise it as a form of abuse echoeing my childhood when I dared question 'things' It's difficult but at 60, I'm seeking out an alternative life. Will kjeep you all posted. The moon eclipse in march conjuncted Mercury when I started speaking out more firmly. All very interesing.

And your point about forgiveness goes straight to the heart of the matter, I think. There is a softness toward oneself and others that seems a special gift of the Pisces soul, and it's one I'm trying to keep in mind as the moon's North Node moves through that gentle sign. Love and laughter, A. Thanks so much, Trish, for your lovely comment. And your point about forgiveness goes straight to the heart of the matter, I think.

Maybe forgiveness is the key, starting with forgiving yourself and then forgiving others who may have lead you on that path to forgiveness in the first place. I think a little bit of laughter at yourself and others can also go a long way, Cheers Trish Hi April,

I feel another Trojan War coming on! :) And Nancy... I'm pretty much over it all now; but it is fascinating, isn't it, how quickly we can jump to conclusions that confirm our worst suspicions about ourselves? Ugh!

Well, I don't love that you felt like that, I love that you realized and are not staying stuck in "how come no one love me" mode. I tend to do the same thing even when I KNOW I have done nothing wrong. I don't know why women are so hard on themselves. It is crazy how perfect society says we are supposed to be and then we buy into that mass collective. Happy Tuesday. Love this.
