Defense mechanisms - contradictions in the horoscope
As the opposition really work in the horoscope? In General, they are perceived as a result of a split between the energy of two planets, difficulties in finding a balance or balance between two opposing parts of the psyche or the needs that they represent. Personal needs shows personal planets, while the outer planets show the challenges that occur to our needs. The opposition is certainly a polarity, a constant process of negotiations within the person of sparks.
It is very difficult for the person or express both planets at the same time to feel - it's an internal Department or gap. This is most likely, because one of the requirements (the planet) for the person was to refer to or even access while growing up difficult. An unfulfilled need takes up much space, and if raised the person must take up this need to another project and is depending on someone else to express the need (planetary principle) to all to feel.
Projection is a defense mechanism to avoid feeling an emotion or a need, the historically dangerous or prohibited was meet. If this defence mechanism could speak, would say: "You must never feel, think or act in this way". The projection or opposition also works in a way, the others are attributed feelings, actions and thoughts that in fact belong to the person. The person or group has to do not nothing. This is done because have these feelings and needs such a threat for which identity is that it will project a habit, it has become. Other people are so wrong, if a "dangerous" feeling relating his starts with the need to feel.
An example
Take for example a person with a Venus/Pluto opposition. It is perhaps quite an experience of the abandonment or loss of love, was a threat for the identity, which is a deep longing are appreciated, loved, and have contact early in life. The person has a residual fear of losing, and love will survive identified with. The feeling that you really need another person is prohibited, and in addition the person can be enough, develop of a shell from self supply love not expressly noticeably.
Projected Pluto principle partners: "you are a threat to me, you will probably give me up, I'll suppress my jealousy and seek to manipulate you and taxes, so that you will not leave me". The partner is wrong, criticizes or is in danger, so the unbearable feeling powerless disappears.
It is possible the two planets empathic and therapeutic to work with, if the binding between therapist and client is secure. A classic technique works with two chairs, if the client both feels needs in turn. On the one hand the Venus principle - a need for affection and recognition, to love and be loved. Then the Pluto defense, which is activated when the inner anxiety or emotional level is too strong. The motivation of the Pluto projection on partners could for example be: "I need you dominate and threaten him to leave you, because you will certainly leave me." "You have to believe as I do or be of the same opinion, otherwise go to not close enough to me."
Motion from a Chair on others can start negotiations between the needs, so that softens the dilemma. It is an exercise in feeling, what to feel, usually is so dangerous. This work requires a safe therapeutic relationship about the time and a willingness to experiment and feel itself was developed. The location offers the emotions expressions that come to the surface in this way is an experience whole and complete. Treatment takes time and the development of trust takes time. In group work, this is only possible if the participants meet regularly in an experimental psychological Astrology framework. Bonding and security form that can be basis for the production of this work, and a group of exactly the right place where empathy is strong and transformation can take place.
