Thanks for sharing your experience from the laboratory of your life. I am still learning my right relationship with this wonderful quality that works best in just the right amount. I think it's a bit harder for us in the US, as this value is touted right up there with Mom and apple pie--another metaphor for our Cancer/Sag/Aquarian chart and our struggle with the Big I.

I read your post ...Happy Independence Day, Joyce. <br /><br />I read your post yesterday and meditated a bit the day through, while my Moon took its monthly trip through my 12th house, visiting my Pluto and Uranus who reside so deeply hidden on its way. <br /><br />I had a dream about a year ago, where I left my apartment and walked a very hard asphalted way and ended in a wonderful new home where everything was furnished with brown velvet, even the walls.<br /> <br />It seemes now clear that I had changed my life and now the walk remained to the place where having changed my life I could now live my change. <br /><br />My achilles heel (or one of them) with Neptune in my 2nd house is my very nebulous relation to material values, and I have while walking that asphalted road had to ask for financial help not once but so many times, without any hope or possiblity that I would be able to pay back, like I would do myself.<br /> <br />Every time has been confronting a moster of fear that I might risk a no, which also has happened (but only once) when the request would not seem appropriate or it was a thing that they would not or could not givt. <br /><br />But otherwise I have been so generously supported by my inner circle and also like Blanche depended on the kindness of strangers. <br /><br />This past month I have also been confronted with so many friends and significant (perhaps) one time encounters with suffering people who claimed they cherish their independency more than anything.<br /> <br />And the remaining question is of course to what purpose do I use our so difficultly achieved independence. <br /><br />It surely cannot be an aim in itself but a means to with I am able to give myself freely without the codependency that I often earlier experienced as part of the package. <br /><br />Forcing myself to trust that I be helped and allowing myself to be dependent has to me been the real way to live my change and be truly independent.
