How trauma works:
and surely you know that trauma is an 8th House matter and Mercury goes retrograde in Scorpio (associated with the 8th House) so you can probably tell already where I’m going with this blog post.
You may not remember IT.
Or you MAY remember IT.
Doesn’t matter. You live half in the past and half in the present and God knows where else.
You get triggered and in those moments you could make a very bad decision: leave a job, leave a boyfriend, walk in front of a train.
Cracks in the pavement. We get triggered and we fall in and Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio is going to help you with this.
IF YOU ARE IN THAT DARK PLACE and you are reading this now, please get help, which means, please talk to someone. Friend, therapist. Because you need to be heard, have your feelings, experiences validated. Calm yourself down. So that you can live with the times, the upcoming transits, make use of them. But first you have to get out of your head. LET SOMEONE IN.
Mercury is your mind. Scorpio seeks the truth. Pluto (Scorpio’s ruler) rules healing.
During this retrograde you can use your mind TO GET BETTER. USE OTHER PEOPLE’S ENERGY TO GET BETTER. SEEK OUT RESOURCES. TAKE THEM. BE BRAVE AND TAKE THEM. Scorpio does not give up. Scorpio seeks revenge but this isn’t about hurting other people. This is about healing your life.
See, your job IS to fall in, but first tie a rope around your waist. Make sure someone is holding on to the knot at the top so you don’t drop too far down but down enough so that you can see how/that you are only living half a life. You don’t need to repeat the trauma word for word but you need to be made aware someway, somehow. Grab your lantern and down you go. A Lower World journey. What would your life be like if you weren’t so afraid? Where would you live? What job would you have? Who would you love? Yourself?
If you are looking to heal your life, this is how. If you are in pain, this is how. If you cause other people pain, this is how. And I love to live with the times, as you know. So LIVE WITH THIS during Mercury in Scorpio.
Any questions?
Love, MP
PS PLEASE use this transit. Don’t let it pass by unnoticed.

I am already going there….both the posts were relevant to me. I had a dream five days ago about being on platform 93/4 yup from the Harry Potter move, but it was slightly flooded, carrying a baby not my own, bent over to pick up glasses not my own and had a vision of a great spiritual master! Then got put on a truck with the baby and three other people who organized it to be pushed out to Hogwarts!! Then the shit hit the fan for days. I so related to your other post, where ithappened to you over the past 48 hours….because it has in my world too, deception revealed in business, huge changes and floods of tears…I guess some people get the transits early! Any thoughts!
Thanks for your thoughts, Dee!
Beautiful, Aliza–thank you, and happy weekend!
Last night I dreamed that someone asked me to write the sequel to the movie Cocoon. Since I wasn’t interested in the theme of old people being revitalized by the water the aliens were incubating in, I decided to focus on the beautiful female alien Tahnee Welch. The aliens would zip out of their skin at night and walk around as beings of light. I decided to make my Cocoon sequel about where the aliens went back home too. The location would be on another planet where the human being that came with those shipwrecked aliens in the first version of Cocoon would be viewed as primitive. We weren’t considered “intelligent life” on their planet. They were the ones who had mercy on us. In the dream, I saw our species as still evolving into what they had became. I remember looking around at the people around me and lamenting at what at the type of human element I was currently surrounded by. I was attended a funeral before I woke up…there was a sadness in the air that I missed my opportunity with the person who had died.
Ok…this is crazy. Yesterday I posted somewhere else looking for interpretation of a dream:
“Last night I dreamed that I saw a man fall into a puddle. It took a minute before the other people nearby & I realized it was more like a sinkhole. I ran to pull him out. I instinctively knew he was going to disappear, and that he was being sucked down. I acted very quickly and very decisively (as I am prone to do in waking life). I demanded the other bystanders hold on to my waist, while I reached into the dark, swirling water. Everything moved so quickly. I felt his hand–I still feel his hand–and yanked him out of the water quite easily. I wanted to perform first aid on him (I took an industrial first aid course last year).
I laid him out and began the processing of assessing him. I tried to direct the bystanders, but they began pawing and poking him, chatting and laughing and being idiots, basically. I got angry and they acted like I didn’t even exist. I was at his head, trying to stabilize his body, trying to position him to began taking vitals. But no one cared, and further more they were very disrespectful of my efforts. I felt total panic set in, tinged with anger (this, too, is like me in waking life: when I am panicked or scared, I am also angry–I want to eliminate what threatens me {Mars opp. Pluto}).
What has lingered after waking is the sense of urgency, that no one is taking my fear for his safety seriously, that I was really hoping to have his vitals, to provide the emergency response team. Profound disappointment, profound powerlessness, profound desperation–complete and utter failure.
This New Moon on October 4th is at Libra 11’56.
My 10th House Pluto is Libra 11’56.
I am not sure what this dream means, but I feel really sad when I think of it.”
..
I know the simple explanation is that my partner has ongoing health concerns, and I worry about him. However Pluto rules my 12th, and I have Neptune in that house. I *know* there is a deeper meaning, and I struggle to access it. I will access it, find the deeper meaning. That’s what I do. As a matter of routine.
THANK YOU for this post. You’ve helped me interpret my dream…my life is, indeed, changing.

I personally love it when you write like this 🙂
