Yesterday I wrote about needing to seek peace with my body. I’m still in that space. Food and sleep are affected. Energy level. Mental energy. So I look to the transits for clues. And then I look away. Sometimes, yes, sometimes, you have to put down the chart and… think not what astrology can do for you, but what you can do for… someone else.
I promised to come back to this topic and I probably will again but the point is that Serving will help soothe the Suffering. Now, not everyone has a Serve or Suffer chart. This pattern is often found in the Virgo/Pisces people but it’s not limited to them. Could be a 6th House thing or a 12th House thing, or an aspect pattern.
But the point is this: it’s TRUE.
And yes, you do need to watch yourself. We all know the stories of “women, or men, who do too much” etc etc and lose themselves or make themselves sick in the process. What’s needed is the 8th House principle of energy exchange, the high side of Scorpio, which trines Pisces and sextiles Virgo. BUT the energy exchange may be between you and your Higher Self, you and your Highest Wisdom, you and God, you and the Universe with a capital U.
Try it and you’ll see. Oh, and this is CRUCIAL for Venus square Saturn people. Crucial because Venus Saturn tends to be afraid and thus tends to give LESS. The cure for this is to give MORE. Even when it makes no sense, even when it goes against your instinct.
Now, it is a fine line because I’m not talking about masochism here. I’m talking about finding the balance and oppositions are always about balance, balancing, mastering, bringing together. Union. And squares, oppositions, show where we have tension, difficulty, where our life’s work IS.
So try it. Here’s an example. When you have a little argument with your boyfriend and you don’t want to say I love you because you feel annoyed? Say it ANYWAY, knowing that YOU need to say it as much as HE needs to hear it. Make sense?

I am very familiar with the serve or suffer chart it seems most of planets when I look them up say that “little phrase” 🙁 I usually do not mind but sometimes I feel like WTF can’t you do anything for yourself – I know there is a fine line between enabling and serving and sometimes I go over that line. I think “what was I thinking when I wrote my chart?” or “what did I do in my past lives that this chart would help clear my karma?” LOL 12 house Aries Sun/12 house venus retrograde 28 degrees/ Chiron pisces – 11th house opposite North node in Virgo sitting right next to pluto….. on it goes … Hopefully I will do it right this time around.
Hi Mary! I do believe you can/shld do things for yourself. Absolutely. One does not deny the other 🙂 12th Sun is a hard placement for sure, in and of itself!
