Following the fingers (and toes) - astrology, anaphylaxis as a metaphor for metastatic, compartmentalization syndrome, and is running to the hospital a palliative move (much like ordering take-out)?

Life has given me access to the information, the tools to play, and the time and circumstances to contemplate. Many people avoid me, refuse treatment, ask for treatment when I’ve already gone to bed, or seek treatment but regret it, because changing our natural trajectory is not easy.

I’ve been up since 1230am (writing this article at 2-330am) because I went to bed with a bit of a chill. I know it’s related to keeping the windows and doors open while it rained. I enjoyed being connected with what nature was doing outside, but I pay for it, because our human bodies need more protection. As I played RestoreChi tracks to release dampness and chill (adding the eye track, as my vision was starting to worsen again), I got the sense that my spleen needed support as well. Adding the spleen dampness track resulted in waking at 1230am, with my son coughing to the point of almost throwing up (I offered him treatment days ago, but he refused, saying he wasn’t bad enough to need support), and then I realized that I had pain down the left side of my digestive system (again) that radiated into my left foot and throat. I removed one of the the chill release tracks, and added the small/large intestine and the low back clear the bladder meridian tracks, and knew it would take a few trips to the bathroom, for this to exit my body.

I had recently given myself permission to accept takeout into our lives, as a compassionate move, knowing that I am not a traditional mother, and also to allow the community to care for me, as I adjust to caring for my family, with my unique limits and needs (despite needing to reduce spending, due to our goal of no longer living beyond our means), but with this reaction to take out, I wonder if I should think again? Is running for takeout similar to running to emergency because I failed to care for my health?

Prior to waking at 1230am, I went to bed thinking about the connection between the assignment of fingers to planets and symptoms, I.e.,:

…and my natal astrology.

With my natal moon in Aries, I need to react to what happened to me in childhood, but with my sun in Scorpio, my purpose is to let go of the ego personality that prevents the flow of information for personal growth. With Saturn in Leo, I am pointed back to my responsibility being to focus on my life purpose. My only planet in Sagittarius (self sabotage) is Neptune (addiction to seeking approval from others, inability to see clearly where things are coming from, and spirituality). Finally, what I blow out of proportion (also a form of self-sabotage) is my communication (Jupiter in the 3rd house), while my communication and individuality (Mercury and Uranus) are also about letting go of the ego personality that restricts my growth. This is probably there is no option to subscribe to my latest yhalp blog, as I prefer to send people articles, if and when I think they might be helpful, and not feel like strangers are judging/hating me, when writing is just a way for me to get a better understanding of how things work. Venus. Pluto, and my north node sitting together in my descendant sign (Libra) means that I need to let go of my childhood perception of how safe the world is, move away from reacting to what happened to me in childhood, and find balance through the people that I meet.

Likewise, I was pondering a friend who was at risk for an anaphylactic reaction to a bug bite. So many people have been stung recently. The internet (AI) says this because of the time of year, but I wonder if it’s also related to the extended summer weather. Global warming is necessary for the upcoming mutation. And reading about anaphylaxis sounded a lot like when cancer metastasizes (and moves beyond the original site of “injury”). In Esogetic terms, Uranus (the right middle finger, how we currently process our emotions, and our ability to live according to our Unique Life Plan) is assigned to systematic illness (issues that spread, or have that their impact, everywhere), while violating our responsibility is assigned to the destruction of the structure of the body (Saturn, mostly because we have negative beliefs about our ability to navigate life).

Allergy is a complicated, in the womb, stress-related condition, that can be addressed, before a situation becomes lethal, like most things, including my son’s cough or my daughter’s injuries (that she comes to me for care after I have gone to bed), and my current left side digestive issues (and more).

It is interesting, as speaking with my friend who was stung and being on her land resulted in tension (dull pain) above and to the outside of my left knee, the stomach meridian, which lands in the second/index toe, which again is about how we perceive the world, as safe or otherwise, our inner dialogue, which can make things so much harder than it needs to be. And this is my impression. People have an inner dialogue that they are holding onto, that they don’t want anyone else to mess with. We have a trajectory. And I can only help those who seek to change their trajectory. There are so many ways to commit suicide, in fact some consider cancer to be a form of soul suicide. Helping people overcome this is not easy, because the soul wants to know that the person is really going to change, otherwise an extension of life is pointless. No growth will come from a refusal to follow our Unique Life Plan. I honestly honour and see beauty in the path each soul chooses to take. Some paths are not as easy to walk as we make them out to be when we are planning them prior to incarnation. We need this honest feedback from life. First do no harm, as much as I can, given that even ideas can make things harder. Ideas need to be able to wander, so we can see where they go. I would not have been given the information and the time to explore it if I wasn’t meant to run it through my system to see and express what comes out the other end. Most practitioners are trained and move into practice, without having the time to publish their thoughts.

As far as compartmentalization syndrome, it’s something that I have only seen on TV, where they cut open an area so that the reaction has room to expand to another section, what I think of as the opposite of anaphylaxis and metastases. Do we spread, do we seek help, or do we stay isolated, thinking that we can or we need to figure it out for ourselves?

Life guides us all. I am feeling better. I hope others find a way to listen, and make the changes needed, to feel better too. Either way, all paths are to be honoured, it’s not easy, being human, the feedback system has a lot to say, and many of us don’t want to listen, because we don’t know what to do to make things better, Esogetic Medicine is supposed to help us see options that we couldn’t see before.

When we can accept that dying is a condition of life, we can stop trying to prevent death, and shift to how we want to live and die…
