The ‘Stare of Cetus’

Written on April 13, 2008 by Darrelyn

Following on from my research work presented in the April Visual Astrology Newsletter and the question I asked as to how other people had experienced the ‘Stare of Cetus’ with planets travelling between Aries the Ram and Cetus (approximately 5-20 degrees of Taurus tropically), I have had this response from Marcia Butchart and her permission to reprint it here 

Wooooo…there’s my Moon and MC. Harry Patch’s description of a single sensory signal bringing a whole experience rushing back is very familiar. Do you recall my early abandonment experience tale, and how profoundly I felt it had affected me? On a massage table, where I had been promised relief from some deep physical pain and a recent grief, I was jerked into full consciousness when the timer softly rang in the dimly lit room. The bodyworker simply stopped and turned away; time to prepare for her next client. For a second I was stunned: “That’s it? It’s over?? I’m not done!” But I said nothing aloud; I knew the rules, knew how useless it was to ask for what I actually needed. And I actually “saw” the bars of a crib rise around me as she left the room; the wave of sudden desolation and hopelessness that swept over me was monstrous. I wept continuously for three days. I may also have been subjected to the original abandonment exercise because my parents were afraid I had become an all-devouring monster? My father said as much when he told me the original story.

Other people’s experiences are more than welcome so we can start to see how this is working more clearly in people’s/clients’ charts.

 Cheers!
