We are all hypocrites, but the difference is that some of us strive to reduce the cognitive dissonance that hypocrisy creates.” ~Unknown

As someone with an Aries 9th house and MC (Midheaven), it was foretold I would martyr for many causes in this life. I was brand new in this incarnation to asserting myself, to learning what I value, and that what I value is important. To adopting religious and spiritual philosophy.

This is also foretold with a Virgo 2nd house that contains Saturn, the Moon, and the North Node in conjunction to one another. Again it was foretold in the six line of my human design. The martyr line. And the sign of Aries is a baby, brand new, propelled to pioneer something new.

When I tell you that I have taken up for many causes I tell you no lies. I also have an Aquarius stellium in the 7th house. So if the cause harms people I absolutely take it up. But what I have learned with time and intention is to hold back sometimes. It’s okay to only speak when I am moved to speak.

And today, I am moved. With Chiron in the tenth house I have deep insecurity putting myself out there. That seems contradictory but it’s not. See, I have put myself out there so much, and later changed my own mind about it, that it can cause embarrassment and shame.
