Parte II - Triplicidad de agua: casas astrológicas de agua

We’ll finish with the water houses.

You already know that, when

we get to this point in each triplicity

we focus on the manifestation

within the experience,

the type of experience

of all those energies that,

considered for the relationship

we establish with events,

we are turning into a behavioural trait

or tendency of approach to events.

Within the experience are resonating

these archetypes that we have

studied in the water triplicity.

Within the events, experiences

or scenarios of the 4th house

we connect with Cancer;

in the 8th with Scorpio;

and in the 12th...

Do you understand now why

astrologists say that the 12th house

is so challenging, after hearing about Pisces?

Well, in the 12th we undergo experiences

related to Pisces.

Having described the archetypes,

in some way, we can

translate them into circumstances,

events, manifestations, areas

or territories for the understanding.

Are types of experience rather than

type of behaviour or energetic

expression that we might display

in any area where these energies

of Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces are placed.

Well, within the 4th house and

regardless of everything we’ve heard

-regardless of primary bonds,

primary bonding structures,

interiors, our inner space, also

everything related to family,

our feelings, our lifestyle,

our emotional support, our

clan related safety structures

where we shelter if we haven’t found yet

the strength for individuation, where

we feel protected, sustained,

cared for, emotionally safe.

Our emotional refuge.

Well, regardless of that,

what I like to highlight,

the way I explain it is that,

within the 4th house, we undergo

experiences that confront us with

that which takes us out of life

because we don't fully understand life

or the experience of incarnation.

That’s how I see it.

These are experiences that

connect us with how we evade

life, that confront us with our

evasion of life. And we’ve seen that

this evasion may have different

manifestations ​. It can also

be expressed as an obsessive

attachment to structures encompassed

within the 4th house, to evocation of

or projection in family structures.

We must consider the full range of

expressions that we’ve seen in Cancer.

Also, experiences that confront us

with the importance of our affections

as a vital foundation. This means,

our inner space or “interior” as

one of the pillars for Incarnation.

Cancer is an incarnational sign.

It is one of the foundations of

Incarnation. Our bonding structures,

our emotional platform. The ground

on which we feel supported.

This is why, within the 4th house,

we experience particular situations

that show us our atavisms,

heritage turned into patrimony of belonging

our definitions of “familiar”,

our memories, family myths

and legends, our lineage and legacy.

In short, undergo experiences

that confront us with our evasions

and our endogamous ties,

but not only that...

not only our endogamous ties but also

our evasions INTO our

endogamous patterns or ties

that serve as an excuse not to

incarnate, not to be fully present

-which would lead us to Leo’s

individuation-. When we develop

a healthy affectivity we can

move towards the following zodiac sign

in the synchronous sequence.

To connect

with our inner power in order to

become individuals, instead of

holding hands with our family

remaining under their coverage.

But to stand strong, aligned with

the dignity we feel

when we connect with our inner power.

The 8th house, house of Scorpio,

is usually related to the topics

we covered in Scorpio. That is

our shadow, what we hide from

others, what we don’t reveal.

But also experiences

where we relate to loss, renunciation

to the concealed or forbidden.

Many different things, as you

can read on the slide. This is just

a summary or synthesis of what

is broadly said about the 8th house.

But, what I like to focus on the

8th house is on our behaviour

in relation to Scorpio.

Our possessiveness, how we reject

others, how we engage in fights

instead of embracing them, how we

want to change them, and feel

betrayed by them. However,

this experiences also present us

with the opportunity of revealing

what we normally don’t.

Of showing what I don't show.

Showing it to ourselves,

and sharing it with others in intimacy.

Therefore, these experiences

lead us to -as I say there- a loving fusion.

Even in the presence of tension,

antagonism or contradiction.

Upholding love in spite of everything

without trying to change others.

Therefore, in the 8th house

we undergo situations and experiences

where we learn that we can show

what we normally hide,

to recognise ourselves

in what we reject about others,

as an opportunity to embrace

that aspect of ourselves, embracing

the inherent light of everything

that seems reprehensible to me,

including what I reject within myself.

That lead us to recognise our wholeness.

Instead of engaging in a power struggle

born from the denial of our own shadows

-those aspects within ourselves where

we find our brightest Light and Love-.

The 12th house is usually related

to life’s greatest trials,

from a fatalistic approach, which

I find a bit lame. We commonly

hear about fate or misfortune,

things I don’t fully agree with.

I believe that the 12th house

is fundamentally a territory

for spirituality, Mysticism and

awareness about our deepest

unconscious. For everything we

bury deep down in our subconscious

to keep it veiled, since these

experiences beckon us

to detachment.

Pisces strips itself of everything

in which it is referenced,

to embrace its true essence.

This is the 12th house to me.

A dimension of mysticism,

of spirituality, of what resides in us

but we don't want to look at, integrate

or be aware of. The receptive quality

that substantiates us, but we have

distorted or manipulated into

literal, ambitious, egocentric and

receptive structures that provide

us with a sense of safety.

In this house we experience

a sense of death and the panic

of dissolution, but also the magic

of our existence as a reflection

of the divine. These are mystical

experiences, and mystical experiences

can manifest through painful situations

that are difficult to sustain, in order

for us to connect precisely with

the transcendent.

This is how we understand the

12th house. It’s not about the

events themselves, but what

they open up for us: misfortunes,

accidents, hospitalizations

and chronic illnesses.

It’s not so much about the experience

itself, but rather situations that

may occur that confront us

with a spiritual awareness.

These are piscean experiences

for what they awaken within us,

not in and by themselves.

This is why I say that within the

12th house we experience

situations that confront us with

an awareness of what is not

ego-related, in order to perceive

something greater.

To the integration of the utmost

receptivity of Saturn, which is the

archetype of the water triplicity.

By integrating Saturn we understand

that there is an absolute balance,

a creative potential or will in stillness

and a dynamic force of creation

that sets things into motion.

When we connect with Saturn

we perceive this interplay,

embody it and open ourselves up

to a desire -or decision of manifesting-

to uphold this vibration and

project it into space-time.
