Six Axes In Astrology~~對軸星座

If one can cultivate True Beingness, then one really needs nothing more. Yet that is the first time one can handle the presence of wealth, power, wisdom, food, drink, sex, and relationships without misusing them to attempt to establish an external security. One can fully be present to the world and all of its pleasures only when one does not need them as supports.
 

  
(Gemini雙子 and Sagittarius射手, 3 and 9)"Axis of Innocent Play探索"
象徵:
1.          好玩有趣。Fun
2.          有流暢的創造力、藝術才華、心智能力、渴望知識的追求與表達。
The flow of creative, artistic and mental abilities coupled with the yearning to experience, know, and express more.
The challenge to discipline, commit, and narrow the focus so one can express and experience The Truth / True Creativity.

優點:
喜愛玩，對新的可能性敞開心胸，而且享受他們。
A playful, open spirit willing to be open to new possibilities, and enjoy them.

缺點:
缺乏成熟心智，個人的創造力潛能無法聚焦或是缺乏自信
不斷追求學習的過程無法帶來落實的經驗
過於繁複的心智運作阻礙實現
被頭腦控制無法做決定
只顧玩樂遮蔽該負的責任。
 
Lack of focus and maturity; creative potential neglected through scattered forces or lack of confidence in oneself. Over-learning — the desire to know more preventing a deeper experience; the addiction to the mental realm can prevent actualization. The mind may never calm down enough to assume its proper role as a servant, not master. Play can eclipse responsibility.

解決之道:
最純真的創造力是透過不斷成長聚焦且負責任的行為表徵。一旦了解到這一點個人的赤子之心和創造力可以被實現。經由自律以及持續不斷地練習，不成熟的心智可以重生發揮他的實力。
 
The greatest expression of Innocence and Creativity comes from growing up and learning to be a focused, responsible adult. Once this is achieved, one's childlike simplicity and creative nature can be fully realized. The child must grow up, and then it can transcend the adult and return to the awakened child. Discipline and grounded practicality are the soil for the child to be reborn in its true potential.

與他人共事能適度有彈性。（不是草莓族也不是缺乏抗壓性）

The yearning to support one's society through developing relationships and family, as well as material and public roles and service. The ability to change to be effective in working and getting along with others. Emotional and physical/practical support for others.

Caring, dedication, sensitivity, contribution to the world.
 
弱點:
敏感善變缺乏值得信賴的表現。

施與受不平衡
過度付出帶來負擔沉重。
Changeability creates a lack of authentic self-expression. Sensitivity creates emotional fortresses, distrust, and fear (separation of true self from others). The emphasis on giving creates a difficulty with receiving. Giving so much can lead one to leave 'strings attached.'
 
解決之道:
最重要是如何滋養自己。
施與受要平衡
個人變成全體，純真的存在勝過以往的表現。
One's first and most important responsibility is to nurture oneself. By receiving as much as one is willing to give, one becomes whole, and then one's simple loving presence does more than all that one has ever 'done' before.

Being overly consumed with one's problems, sorrow, or growth, perpetuating a cycle of self-absorption.
 
解決之道:
1.          改造轉化別人不如改造轉化自己。
One can do nothing truly deep and transformative for others, until one has followed the disciplined path of achieving the deepest transformation within oneself.
 
2.          自愛能打開慈悲的大閘門。
Self-love opens up the floodgates of compassion.
 
3.            只有如此，個人為他人所提供的服務才絕對是有意義，有效率的。
Only then can one's service for others be absolutely graceful, meaningful, and effective
