just following the posts on mother representation in our own charts... It is true that if we have our mothers' charts will help to understand how that mother appears to be in a certain way; nevertheless, we must not forget that within our charts we still can take a lot of information even if the initial factors may contradict our experience of mother. For instance, if we look at the Moon for mother and it's in Cancer but the mother in question doesn't appear Cancerian at all, before we dismiss the possibility of the Moon representing the mother (and i'm not defending this in here, it's just an example), we still can look at how this particular Moon is in aspect to other points in the chart, how afflicted or not is the ruler of the house where the Moon is placed, etc, etc.
Since this is just a thread for the houses, i don't want to diverge too much but I just wanted to give another clue on how the chart can speak - a common analogy: we learn the letters, we learn the words and then form sentences but all the meanings of the sentences can change within a different context.
Also, I would like to mention that there is a tendency to say that “this and this” is bad and “this and this” is good in astrology, I personally try to look without that sort of judgement since there is a full spectrum of possibilities to experience the same configuration in a positive or perhaps constructive way or in a more negative or distorted way. I think certain aspects can be quite difficult indeed but also they can friction enough to polish a pearl out of it.
Just random thoughts… I’m enjoying very much the sharing from everyone – I’m always learning, thank you.
