To share this week, I wanted to mention a recent experience with geomancy, which I use as the divination part of my daily practice.
A few weeks ago I cast a chart for a question which I won't repeat, but concerns a part of life I'm feeling stuck in.
The result was illuminating and in a way unsurprising: Carcer as both Witnesses and Populus as Judge.
After chewing on this question and result through journaling and meditation in the weeks since, today I had a breakthrough that added a whole new dimension to my original interpretation.
Without getting into too much detail, this process has shown me that not only am I stuck in my own "inner prison", which alone isn't much of a surprise, but there's a powerful part of me that *wants* to be stuck.
That part identifies with the prison, and fears what might be outside. There's a deep need within me to stay stuck in that neediness, and this works against any attempt at changing. Leaving the prison means a trip to the executioner for that part of my identity, so it fights like a cornered animal.
I thought this was worth sharing as a minor "TSW" success story. Besides the personal breakthrough, it's a little eerie (and exciting) how dialed in the geomantic chart was...
