@KateSourire 是的。其实我家里还算不错,但是父母观念还是那种很底层的,半梦半醒最好吃我是深有体会。上次去吃海底捞遇到一个服务员,她是一个月就那仨瓜俩枣自己都勉勉强强还要给家里打钱那种底层,不想打了又觉得愧疚。更痛苦。但这种割裂感能让人很快想明白也是真的。
@KateSourire 我感觉特别底层的那一类也没得选,稍微读过书受过教育能自立的小时候接触童话和言情剧的话就会:我自立,我想要,这(婚姻家庭生育)是我自己选的。俗称一女三吃还不自知。
为啥说恋爱脑也是一种生存焦虑呢?因为恋爱脑本身痴迷的是那种被照拂的感觉。自己被看见,被确认,仅仅是存在都产生意义和价值,自己是独一无二的。这是她们最本能追寻的东西,也就是所谓无条件的爱,但这种东西,在健康的成长过程中就应当存在。对一个孩子来说,无条件的爱即是指稳定充足的生存资源,她不需要产生任何价值,仅仅是降生就该受到照拂。她对自己存在和独特性的确认,在童年时期就该完成。如果成长的环境非常匮乏,当然不仅是指贫困,不只是阳光空气水,人和动物比起来生存需要更多资源,被倾听,被回应,被尊重需求。这些都没有得到的时候,这种饿的感觉会一直延续到成年,她会本能地试图补足。我减肥,我考试,我付出,我生了一胎又一胎。我总会被爱了吧?但恋爱脑渴望的不是恋爱,而是证明自己的价值。因为成长过程中学到的等式是有价值才值得被爱which means 能被给予生存资源。所以恋爱脑其实问的是我要足够美丽才有价值吗?我要足够聪明勤奋才有价值吗?我要进入婚姻才有价值吗?我要生出男孩才有价值吗?可是问题的关键是,我必须要有价值,才值得生存下去吗?
但我感觉自己整个人就是有种平静的疯感。
下午为了师弟的工略微social了一下,老大说我们 mice work进展实在太慢。
我心想我能进展很快但我不想啊,有必要push自己吗?这个博读得了无意趣。这不是能力问题,我做占星就是核动力驴一样。
据说我们实验室耗材经费会在半年内破产,劳务费会在明年七月破产。
我心想太好了,少在那边PUA我发个大文章,我将怒写一百篇古占公众号爽个够。
其实我感觉我的路数比较像Deb,多少有点instinct leading,我提问的时候Deb也经常坦承你说的这个细节当时我就没注意啥的。Morgan就感觉是解码专家简直面面俱到啊!太牛逼了我觉得!
@taki 是的!就是平静的疯感+稳定的情绪。
我最终提交的结课感想,存一下
I have a lot to say, lol.
This course has left me with memories and insights I will carry for a long time.
One was a Q&A session with Wade — we all watched the stars together online. It felt unexpectedly romantic.
The stretch from Session 8 to 18 was tough. But through it, I learned where my limits lie — physically and mentally — and how to care for myself while still moving forward. That lesson has stayed with me far beyond astrology.
Around Session 8, my body began to fall behind. That was also when the informal chart discussions started, and I managed to attend two of them. In that month alone, I went through seven different sessions on London time — which meant every live class ran from 0 to 2AM in my time zone. It was… insane. Very quickly I became physically and mentally exhausted. My circadian rhythm collapsed, my executive functioning shut down, and my sensitivity spiked.
At that exact moment, we began linking planets and signs to things in everyday life. The learning curve suddenly felt steep and intimidating. I lost confidence. Every chart I touched filled me with hesitation, and I no longer dared to judge.
Then, around Session 18, everything suddenly clicked. The fog lifted. My instinct sharpened, and a clear, structured framework settled in my mind.
That was the moment I realized I had gained everything I dreamed of before coming here. And I cherish it — deeply.
Toward the end of the course, I suddenly saw how, at their core, neurodevelopment (my field of work) and astrology are much alike: both trace how specific starting conditions unfold into destiny within a particular structure of time and space. Two things that seem opposed share the same underlying path. That realization felt truly wondrous.
When I first sought out classical astrology, I pursued refined technique — prediction, judgment, the “correct” answer. Looking back now, this journey with STA has changed me.
I’ve come to see that the heart of it all is not prediction, but the act of attending to and discerning the question. Asking and answering become a dialogue of will and awareness between astrologer and querent; together we witness how a question takes shape, how it unfolds, and what kind of understanding is needed to meet it.
I also remember Deb’s case about the missing child. In class she vividly brought back the querent — the mother of the lost boy — her appearance, her expression, even the moment of their meeting. That kind of empathy, still alive after thirty years, pierced through the screen and struck me. When the querent clung to her visions, believing herself a medium and unable to hear any facts, it was empathy alone that allowed dialogue to happen.
We have lived through the “light and love” of the New Age, only to return, at last, to the austerity of technique. Yet what emerges is no longer a metaphysical mirage, but a true morning star.
Thank you to all the tutors, and to the entire community. This course has changed me, and I will carry it with me always.
