Have you ever had one of those moments where you think, “Uh-oh, should I really have said that?” It’s a familiar crossroads—especially when we’re faced with the complexities of family dynamics and the upcoming astrological shifts. I was chatting this morning with a devoted mother, and it turns out her young son’s astrological chart is buzzing with excitement as Pluto gets ready to station conjunct his descendant. Talk about cosmic timing! Meanwhile, she’s juggling her own Saturn transit in the fourth house, a real doozy when it comes to navigating boundaries and responsible parenting. As she voiced her frustrations about the boy’s father, I couldn’t help but think about the delicate balance between honesty and caution—a lesson in presence and perspective.
In this article, I’ll dive deep into the nature of regret, tying it intricately to that courageous spirit we all harbor inside. You see, my own reflections on regret often boil down to moments when I failed to lean into those brave decisions. Whether it’s speaking the hard truth or standing up for someone who needs support, courage walks hand-in-hand with our choices, leaving behind trails of what-ifs and should-haves. So, what about you? Have you pondered the nature of your regrets lately? Let’s explore this together—because I firmly believe there’s a single thread that may weave through our regrets, just waiting to be unraveled.
I spoke with the mother of a young son this morning. He’s about to have Pluto station conjunct his descendant.
Meanwhile, she has Saturn transiting her fourth house. It’s also about boundaries and responsible parenting. She was complaining about the boy’s father, with cause.
If I think it’s important enough, I will hit a client with something hard, provided I know they can take it. This gal is a Scorpio with an Aries Moon and a large stellium in Aries. She calls me for raw truth.
I asked her if she were talking badly about the boy’s father, to her son. She wasn’t. “Good thing,” I said. “He could lose his father under this transit.”
Now, I don’t usually say things like this to people, but the setup is there. You really don’t want to tell your son his dad is trash, the day before he gets a call of this type
I hope people understand this. I love this woman. I’ve worked with her for a number of years. If I can see a deep hole and she’s talking about her blurting mouth, I am going to warn a friend, see? Stay way back from that “danger hole” because it’s deep!
Long preamble, but it led me to thinking about things I regret, doing or not doing. It was immediately obvious to me that my regrets are connected to times I failed to act courageously. Should have stepped in, should have stepped up, should have just done it…
Please note, this is personal to me. I am built to be courageous. I have everything I need to stand up. This means if circumstances constellate and call for me to get involved, and I don’t act, then I have failed, and I will regret it. As a matter of fact, the conversation with the client is a good example. I could see the situation, and I had the courage to speak about it. This is what I am paid for!
I’m also born to be honest, and I am honest, so I have no issues there.
I’m posting this so you might think about the nature of your regret. I used to write about the 80/20 rule with astrology (search the blog). Point being, it’s likely there is one thing causing most of your problems, as far as regret goes. Address it and you’ll be sitting, pretty.
