Combust Venus is not secure in relating, it lacks confidence. Relating is about differences and seeing how those differences can be supportive. The combust venus person feels insecure in the face of differences so it wants the other to be the same, not different, but that defeats the entire purpose of relating, so it needs to develop the worht and confidence in its own value so that i can be comfortable when encountering different people.
Thank you. We were trying to figure out what it meant to spiritualize a planet in another post. So in the case of combust Venus, it would mean integrating it with the Sun, the soul, and finding the self-worth through that? Going beyond mundane things and finding the higher expression of Venus? Same with any other combust planets - finding their higher expression?
So, there are two options - either accept that one can’t relate and let go of expectations to be fulfilled by the world and give up, or accept that there are differences and learn to relate within those differences? And it is up to the individual to choose either option?
I don't know if I would use that term spiritualize a planet. Planets are Grahas, they CAPTURE consciousness and define it. The moment its defined, spirituality is lost. We have to heal our planets, and then we have to become free from the grabbing effect they have on our consciousness so that it's not limited. So what you are saying I would see as the possible ways to heal the planet so that its functioning in a harmonious way within the person intead of being a source of pain and conflict.
I am pretty sure I have seen it written that way in one of your manuals or maybe in one of the posts here. I can still see the line clearly in my head. It is not something I would say, hence I was trying to understand what you were trying to say (now, without proof, it seems allegedly). I tried looking for it, but can’t find it. If I find it, I will bring it up again. Otherwise, it might be my mind playing tricks trying to understand something.
Ok. Found it. You talked about spiritualizing Chitta in the Five Elements course, and also the reason why when the Sun conjuncts a planet it agitates it. Recently, while I was thinking about Venus, I had also came across a blog that talked about Sun spiritualizing the influence of a planet it’s with. So, it became a domino effect. I remembered the spiritualizing part, but not the influence part. I understand the concept now. Thanks.
