Deeper Insights

This transit pulls on the oldest cords in your nervous system: survival strategies, inherited loyalties, the ways you made yourself safe before you knew better. What returns now is sticky because it worked once. Power dynamics surface—inside you and with others—revealing where you gave power away, grabbed it, or confused control with care. You might notice compulsions masquerading as certainty, or shame hiding beneath competence. The past is not just a memory here; it’s a living current asking to complete its arc.

Working with this energy means letting endings be clean and meaning be honest. Composting is slow, warm work: you name the pattern, feel what it once protected, and choose a different response while the old one still beckons. Making amends, setting boundaries, and telling the truest version of the story convert raw intensity into grounded authority. Power becomes stewardship rather than defense when you allow what is finished to feed what wants to grow.

Life Areas & Expression

Relationships & Connection

Old relational roles and power imbalances may reappear, asking for clear-eyed renegotiation or release. Conversations gain depth; honesty becomes a love language, and consent the boundary that steadies the heart.

Work & Purpose

Ambitions built on fear or overperformance feel heavy, while meaningful service calls louder. You may prune obligations, confront politics, and recommit to work that aligns with your values rather than your ego.

Inner Life & Healing

Dreams, memories, and body sensations carry the archives of the past and invite integration. Therapy, ritual, and rest help metabolize intensity so insight lands as relief, not just revelation.

Growth & Integration

There is dignity in acknowledging what the past gave you—and what it costs to keep carrying it. Let yourself grieve the strategies that kept you safe, even as you lay them down. The heart gets quieter when it is not busy defending a history.

Choose small, decisive acts that honor the truth you’ve found: a boundary you keep, a confession you make, a promise you stop making. As the old story loosens, your power returns to you—not as force, but as steadiness that can be trusted.

I can love the past without living in it.
