☾ – Victims of the Moon – Scorpio and Capricorn
Nobody is home except for a child left alone in the dark, waiting for somebody to arrive, some of these children wait a lifetime
- Scorpio – Moon falling. The emotional defences built from small, vulnerable, and endangered hands that were made to last a lifetime, so behind most of the fight is a frightened child. Emotions are the intruding adversaries, making relentless demands and waging a war of self-destruction all while convincing one that the real enemies are people from the outside
- Capricorn – Moon in detriment. Unwilling to recognise or acknowledge the inner experience as being valid and worthy of being nurtured. Tends to switch off emotions that could make one vulnerable or exposed as a child in an act of survival, but at the same time this inner child becomes paralysed in this time and there are rarely comforting memories that can be returned to
☿ – Victims of Mercury – Sagittarius and Pisces
Requires plenty of time and reflection to, ‘figure out exactly what’s going on inside my head’ because the trickster loves playing with this one
- Sagittarius – Mercury detriment. Turns big things small, makes small things big, nothing stays in proportion, conceals the truth within the details one gets trapped in ruminating through endless scenarios and possibilities. Difficulty gaining the perspective of other minds
- Pisces – Mercury detriment and fall. Words can be slippery on the tongue and fall out wrong. Can vaguely suggesting what they mean rather than saying it clearly
♀– Victims of Venus – Aries, Virgo, and Scorpio
Has more dislikes than likes. Being solitary can be as painful as being in love, being alone can be as scary as surrendering your heart, everybody is a potential enemy
- Aries – Venus in detriment. The war is won by catching the heart of true love. But one can struggle to let go of this need to dominate and secure the prize, squeezing until it breaks, and not realising that a heart can be captured by the valour of the conquest, but keeping ahold requires something more tender
- Virgo – Venus falling. Pleasure involves some form of self-destruction. Highly critical of the physical appearance, sometimes resulting in self-punishing behaviour. Learning to love their flaws so they can love freely and fully in Libra
- Scorpio – Venus in detriment. Socially, one can have the impression that other people are talking about them or purposely keeping something hidden. Can ultimately betray themselves by refusing to trust other people and therefore self-obstructing their opportunities to form the deeply meaningful connections they desire
♂ – Victims of Mars – Taurus, Libra, and Pisces
Just wants to love, but love always wages war. Worn down by the ongoing battle for the possession of the heart and ownership or entitlement by other people, looks for love but finds danger instead
- Taurus – Mars in detriment. Is used as a physical or emotional resource
- Cancer – Mars falling. Emotions heat to reach burning point to any external trigger that hits a core defence, rarely in the ‘mood’ for anything
- Libra – Mars in detriment. A reflection of projected ideals, can appear less than defined and abstract to the admiring eye, until they start to identify with something that never existed
- Pisces – Mars falling. Desires to be rescued and redeemed by true love, but is also the one commanding the dragon to protect and defend
- and the one choosing to be exiled in acts of self-punishment
