I’m so grateful you decided to do this video! I really appreciate hearing different perspectives and interpretations of astrology because I believe it’ll give me a wider view of what’s going on, that’s why I listen to a wide variety of astrologers. Your perspective is so needed and appreciated, Iris (ESPECIALLY when everyone else is playing up how explosive a transit might be)! 🙏💖
I’m really glad you did this video. I needed to sit with this today. I can’t even begin to explain what’s going on in my life right now. This year marks an important ending of a 28 year relationship with a highly misogynistic work environment. And a huge recovery period for me. A beginning to whatever comes next for me. And it’s been a real challenge to acknowledge the pain that has come from people wielding power in my life to shedding the anger, and resentment that has caused. Working on healing and acceptance.
Thank you. 🙏🏾. So much here to peel back and explore from the ‘i’ of me. I deeply appreciate sharing an astrology lens here on YT that doesn’t ask/push to focus on what everyone else is doing but instead to turn a tender and curious intention inward. How am I experiencing these energies? How am I peeling back, sitting with, releasing mechanisms, definitions, beliefs and behaviors that align with that which I say I am against. I am in awe of your ability to get so much content into such a short space. For me this is definitely a watch 3 times video. You are appreciated. Unfettered and infinite love and gratitude. 💜🌈🧙🏾♀️🔥🪷
you are right on, with your statement "the power over" is the old slavery were people still today want to you to be force into it. .... a bit of witnessing and stepping back and watching is the key to turn this energy around ...the patriarchal system of the old days is the challenge of today to dissolve ..... all the wok starts with the inner transformation of the wounds the past has engraved in us. Your video is a extraordinary brilliant summery of the time we are facing.
You are my lifeteacher to find and be my self in respect, love and fergivness to all the abuse was given to me from my parets and especialy my exhusband. Your words and the dance from those energies are helping me. Its very hard but i on my way! Thank you so much Iris ❤❤❤!
I really appreciate you offering a different perspective on both Pluto and Mars, because what's portrayed of them in most astrology media is absolutely a poor resolution image seen through the lens of patriarchy and doesn't resonate at all with my experience with those energies. I work with them as planetary deities, so not exactly the same perhaps but they have tremendous gifts to offer, and are, in my experience, the epitome of safe and divine masculine energy. Not to say that learning the lessons they teach are fun and easy, but I think that's pretty standard for lessons right? I think that moving away from toxic masculinity is only going to be possible when there's an awareness of what it looks and feels like to do it differently, and your perspective feels like a part of that, so thank you for putting it out there!
Your words about looking at Mars through a patriarchal lens was sticking to me last night and I was trying to contemplate what you meant fully. And here you are explaining it and I'm so happy! I'm betting there are a number of us who felt the same and so the Universe kind of sent you a situation to prompt you to speak your truth. Thank you so much, Iris!
Absolutely excellent. 👏👏👏👏 The growth must start with us, the mirror, in order for the collective to shift. We, not looking inward, delay and place obstacles to the collective. I also concur with your conclusion, it will and is messy. Yet that’s not the whole story. Upheaval in the external, leads to transformation of the internal. The focus, for me, is Pluto. The transformation. Mars, is my energy to get there. Evolving out of disempowerement, requires releasing OUR illusions. Accepting OUR collective power. A power that is totally opposite of the patriarchal system wide abuse we have been living under. We will not gain our collective power until, we are ready to own it. No matter what the external politics looks like, I will continue to transform. So will the collective. Iris: “The Little Book Key”. Ludwig Larsen. Thru Forgotten Books. There is much of it that is probably best for the garbage can, however, the astrological implications are thru the roof. St Augustine wrote about Divine Numbers being the language……… We cannot become transformation without awareness. Knowledge leads to awareness. Awareness Illuminates Illusion……… Thank you. 💕💕
I’m really feeling this - had no idea it was a product of mars opposite Pluto though. Just this morning I was thinking of how humanity seems to create pain by making things fit into boxes for example, I just got my kitty spayed and she has to wear a cone around her neck, and it just hit me, this is what we humans do, we cause pain, we manipulate with our power. Another example is me, I have adhd and so does 3 of my children - society tells us we need to change how our brains work so we can fit in to society/what’s considered normal. I see it now, this is the ugly side of Mars, the power struggle, and Pluto, doing its job of exposing and transformation. As always, thank you Iris! So much gratitude for you 💚
Wow, Iris, thank you for this huge bonus insight. I'm dealing with the biggest challenge to my reaction of compassion over a knee-jerk anger or frustration that started in 2008 and coming to fruition with full knowledge and understanding of the underlying issue now in a relationship.
Thank you Iris. Been navigating this energy for a bit. Kinda took me sideways as it involved my homebase having to be evacuated due to a biohazard. Sensing another move, but taking refusage in the Kootenays, my old home base. My Scorpio stellium has some major transits, so I appreciate your words of wisdom of being still,self care and releasing to the unknown…Your vids are so encouraging and comforting during this rebirthing stage. ✨🫶🏽✨
Love your transmission and agree with what you’re saying. I do want to remind us that yes one power model is white supremacy, but there is also black supremacy models, muslim or christian supremacy, etc etc. It’s just supremacy overall based on ones gender, race, or religion or ethnicity.Of course in our country - The US white supremacy is obvious, but I wanted to remind us that “supremacy” shows up in a lot of other forms too. Thanks 😊
Oh, WOW! ❤ Thanks so much dear, this resonates very much; so I thought I was in the wrong , but now you expressed exactly/similar to what I feel, as well. Maybe also has to do w/my birth time phase: Balsamic Moon, and time just between Scorpio and Sag, with both signs having stelliums; I do have similar way of thinking/feeling! And the NN in Aq 😂 ❤Thank you dear ❤
I have a mars + mercury pluto + chrion opposition and I don't agree with fear mongering but I agree this position can be explosive lol I haven't personally experienced the beauty of this placement for years. Probably when I was a small child. Not everyone with this placement has intense trauma but it's very common to find that which sucks. I've experienced this placement as having to do more work to have a mundane life than most people I've met.
Experiencing medical abuse from multiple professionals in multiple settings to the oint of developing a panic disorder . Something inside me has risen up , connected to my body and the universe and is making fierce boundaries around my body , mind and spirit . Found homeopathy and cranial sacral therapy and two very healing practitioners. The medical , industrial complex is so destabilizing. I'm done with it . Talk about power over ...
My ex has been abusing his power over me for 2 years now by keeping my children from me. 😡 I had my 1st child w him in 2008. I'm so done w this power hungry control freak! I have no compassion for those who abuse children in any way! He is a triple Capricorn ugh! Can't wait for this to be OVER!!!
Abuse is not a geographical concept, it is equally exploitative wherever it is found. History teaches us that no culture is, or was, free from abuse. At present, NA is on the pedestal, certainly being shared with many other world cultures. Societal, individual and cultural abuse ends when, “we” look in the mirror. We cannot shift cultures, without first shifting ourselves.
