Chasing Ghosts or Becoming One of Them What’s happening in the skies today?The Moon has entered Aries and forms a square to Jupiter. The Moon represents the past, while Jupiter symbolizes belief. Aries aligns with the archetype of the Knight. So we are invited to ask: who is the knight, and how does this archetype reflect in our lives?A knight is one who is ready for battle—whether that battle is for dreams or against ghosts. The Past and Its Ghosts The past is what lingers in memory—whether collective or entirely your own.For some, that day was a beautiful one. For others, it was far from it.Not everyone carries the same things in their pack.What’s in yours? Ghosts?Souls no longer among the living… still wandering, sorrowful shadows…What is it that keeps you from letting them go? What longing do they represent?Perhaps they are the ones ready to depart—longing to return to where they came from.Waiting for you to say: “Don’t let your thoughts linger here anymore.”Needing to hear that you’ll be okay without them. You cannot force anyone to live for your sake.That would be selfish.But you can remind them—if they are willing—that they have the right to live for themselves.Otherwise, ghosts roam freely—those who couldn’t let go… or weren’t let go. A Mother’s Dreams Mothers are dreamers.When a child plants themselves in the womb and begins to stir—how could dreams not begin?And once they start to move, once their heartbeat spills into the body like warm milk, dreams curl around the corners of her lips. And sometimes… fears. Nightmares. How will she protect them? How will she help them win their battles? And if they fall, how will she live with it? How will she learn to cope? Life wants to test her children’s strength.Before life even dares, she wants to wound it first.But how do you teach life that lesson? A Father’s Indifference A mother’s son. A father’s daughter.The son, fragile. The daughter, strong. Or is it the other way around?A son protecting his mother. A daughter protecting her father.Love, attention… was it nurturing, or was it feeding a role? Was he the son his mother cherished—or the one she depended on?Was she the daughter her father truly valued—or just the reflection he needed?The son dreams of building a palace for his mother.The daughter becomes a warrior to win her father’s notice.She’ll put men in their place—just like he did. Her father played with men; so did she.But her way?He played with them. She turned them into toys.There’s a difference. One she couldn’t see—And what pleased her father most was that she cared about none of them.That pleased him. Becoming Your Own Mother and Father “Hold me like my mother, see me like my father.”Compassion and respect.Healing and praise.Tears falling from the eyes and a stance that doesn’t bend. Whom did you hurt—thinking it was someone else? Whom are you hurt by—mistaking them for another? Who did you hurt before they had a chance to hurt you? Who fed you their rage for another, disguised as protection? “Hold yourself like your mother would, see yourself like your father would.”“Hold yourself like your father would, see yourself like your mother would.”Not the way they treated you—But in the way you wish to be today. Strength and Weakness Who was strong? Who was weak?Who did you try to save?Who tried to save you?Whose web of fear did you get caught in, waiting for a possible ending?Did you ever realize you could tear the net with the strength of your wings? Whom did you pity? Yourself?Whom did you rage against?Your own inability to recognize your power?When did you fall silent?When you lost your voice—or when you could no longer recognize it? “Strength means something different to everyone. So does weakness.” “I protect myself—without forgetting how to take risks.” “I save myself—without waiting for a savior.” “I offer support—to those who ask for it, with boundaries.” “I can’t save anyone. And no one can stop someone who truly wants to be free.” “Everyone is happy where they feel joy. If not—they won’t stay.” Something to Believe In Believe in yourself.Trust in yourself.Only then will you be able to believe in much more—and trust in much more. This isn’t surrendering to another—it’s making space within yourself for what lives in them.Not by losing yourself in them,but by growing, expanding, integrating what they carry into your being. “You must believe.” “In what?” “In the place where everything began. In the gift that was given to you there. In life itself.” —Hüseyin AkdağAstrological Counselor
