Archetypal Exploration: Felina's 6th House- Liberator

The 6th House of Astrology is about daily work, routines, health and healing. This is my busiest house, with three conjunctions of two residing here in my natal chart. The first conjunction is between Mars retrograde and Pallas (Athena) retrograde in Libra. Here, the warrior within is balanced between masculine initiative and feminine wisdom. The retrogrades suggest that the 'battle' is an inward one. The second conjunction is between Saturn retrograde and Pluto retrograde in Libra. The teacher and transformer are also working in harmony on an inward level. The third conjunction is between Sappho retrograde and Jupiter Retrograde in Scorpio. Here my inner love poet works with the generosity and growth of Jupiter, directing expansive and enlightening energy within.

Many times, when a 6th House is filled with this much activity, it will be an indicator that the person is a workaholic...or at the very least, always busy. But with all of that energy directed inward by the retrogrades, the bulk of this work takes place behind the scenes. While I always have a lot going on in my life, my never-ending work involves my physical health and healing. Always changing because of inner revelations, my Butterfly totem resides in this house as well. The archetype that resides here is the Liberator. The ways in which I've liberated myself, and continue to do so, provide me with the voice of the Liberator to help others to do the same. This house has much to do with service, and even with the retrogrades, it's not all self-serving. I've found that the reason I continue on a path of spiritual transformation is to assist others to liberate themselves from their own unhealthy patterns and habits that inhibit their Soul's growth.

Liberator

By Felina Lune Kavi

Start at the roots…

Climb the tree.

Follow the limb

That will set you free.

Build strong your armor…

Go deep within.

The Soul’s renewal

Can now begin.

Curious Caterpillar,

Change as time goes by.

Crack open the chrysalis

You create,

Become the Butterfly.

Even in the stillness,

Hard work is never done…

In the darkness of the night

And in the warmth of Sun.

Curious Caterpillar,

Dreaming of the sky.

Crack open the chrysalis

You create,

Become the Butterfly.

The Soul is a gentle whisper

Urging life to grow.

Change is in the moment

Of becoming what you know.

Wings enfolding wonder

Within transparent walls.

Transformation shows the way

To fly where Spirit calls.

Curious Caterpillar,

You know as well as I.

Crack open the chrysalis

You create,

Become the Butterfly.
