Cycle Breaker Placements

Placements I see in charts that indicate someone is here to work through generational trauma and promote healing. These placements can be really tough, but offer a really unique perspective of the world.

They can also reap the most benefits once they work through their lessons.

Biggest indicators are 4th house, 8th house, 12th house, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Aries placements. Also big emphasis on harsh aspects related to Pluto/Mars/Moon/Saturn/Sun. But these are one that stick out to me the most.

✨Pluto in the 12th House. This placement indicates a lot of childhood trauma. When I see someone with this placement, I know they've been through it. I have instant respect for them. Most individuals with this placement don't realize their own inner power. It's hidden in their subconscious underneath years of memories where they were told that they were powerless. They are SO powerful and they don't even realize it. Especially if their Pluto is in Scorpio, but this applies to all 12th House Plutos. Once they recognize their own power, they're literally unstoppable.

✨Chiron in Gemini/3rd House. These individuals have a fear of being seen. They struggle to use their voice and speak their truth. Their path is usually the road less traveled, and it can feel isolating at times. They might have felt like their opinions never mattered in childhood and struggle with a need to be understood. Once they use their voice, they can affect powerful change to those around them.

✨Lilith in Cancer/Lilith 4th House. This placement indicates that the person will be working through generational trauma related to the mother or the maternal side of the family. Emotional needs are likely not met in childhood, which causes the person to have trouble accepting/asking help from others. But they also can't completely help themselves. Nurturing their emotions helps them unlock all the power of Lilith.

✨Saturn Conjunct Moon. Saturn and the Moon have opposing energies. The Moon is nurturing. Saturn is the disciplinarian. Often times, it can also be interpreted to represent the Mother (Moon) and the Father (Saturn). The paternal figure might've been absent or ill. The maternal figure could've been stressed and emotionally reactive. Someone with this aspect basically has to become their own parent. They're forced to learn emotional regulation, self-respect, and self-love. It teaches them that they have value and they likely break a lot of toxic cycles during self-growth.

✨Mars in a fire sign + in the 4th House. Inheriting a parent's reactive nature is likely with this placement. At least this is what I've noticed when I've interpreted charts. Fire signs are quick to act and they are sometimes viewed as impulsive. With a fire Mars in the 4th House, they'll be forced to confront their explosive anger. If not, they can repeat toxic generational cycles. Their parents were likely aggressive and threatened their safety in the home. This is a REALLY tough placement.

✨Chiron in the 5th House. Inner child wounds are prevalent here. The individual's self-expression is limited or repressed, likely due wounds from a parent or caretaker in childhood. They hide the important parts of themselves and have a really hard time being vulnerable with anyone, including themselves. Embracing creativity and accepting themselves is how they heal. In the process, they break negative generational cycles.

✨Capricorn Moon. These individuals had a lot of expectations placed on them in childhood. They might have been forced to step up in their childhood and could've been more of a parent than their actual parents, raising themselves and/or siblings. They're seen as the responsible ones, and might have faded into the background, causing their needs to go unmet. Their caretakers could've put work before play, causing these individuals to adopt the same approach. They must learn how to be vulnerable and experience joy with others.

✨Venus in Scorpio (Bonus points if it's in retrograde). Trauma related to a person's sense of self-worth is common. They might have low self-esteem or struggle to navigate relationships. There's a possibility that your caretakers relationship was volatile, leaving them to be afraid of intimacy (i.e. Divorce). There could be possessiveness or jealousy in romantic relationships as well. Even obsessiveness. Finding a way to balance these energies and re-shape how they define relationships helps. They also undergo the most transformation in romantic relationships.

✨Moon Square Mercury. Emotions were not safe to express in childhood. They might have problems making decisions, constantly warring between their mind and their heart. They could lean onto old belief systems or coping skills, even when they know it doesn't work. After a while, they'll be forced to change their approach on how they deal with their emotions. Thus, breaking toxic cycles learned in childhood.

✨Saturn in the 12th House. Wounds here could be attributed to past life trauma, but it's usually agitated in childhood. These individuals are really hard on themselves and believe they don't deserve anything good in life. There's potential for memory suppression and a tendency to disassociate. Absent paternal figures are common with this placement. When they prioritize their mental health and work towards healing, they break generational curses.

✨Aquarius Placements. These individuals are often tasked with pursuing their own path and deviating from the "norm." Therefore, they struggle with trauma in childhood. They might have been bullied for their unique interests. They could be the family outcast. Whatever it is, they take their own path. They might break familial expectations that had been adhered to for generations. Therefore, breaking the cycle.

✨Pluto in Scorpio. Generationally, this is the one. Being mostly raised by boomer parents, they pulled the rug out from underneath their parents, calling out toxicity. They likely trigger their parents without even trying. They hold up a mirror, highlighting what their parents could've been if they had broken the cycle.

✨Sagittarius Mercury. They can't help it. They word vomit their observations. A lot of the times, it could be done with innocent intention. However, being catalysts for chaos, they open boxes that their families have tried desperately to keep shut. They are brutally honest and care fiercely about discovering the truth. Sometimes, they intentionally cause chaos for change. Letting little bits of information or truth slip, they can have their family in uproar and questioning their entire existence. They're the voice of truth. And their family can't escape it. And they might hate them for it. But they just can't help it. It comes out of their mouth before they have the chance to think about it. (12th House Sag Mercury individuals might have a different presentation/experience of this placement).

✨Pisces Moon/Rising. These individuals can have challenging relationships with their mothers or maternal figures. They typically lack boundaries and experience pretty intense people pleasing behaviors. They're also very different from the rest of their family, usually. They'll be put in situations by the universe to craft their own identity and stand up for themselves. They can be the first to educate themselves on boundaries and actually implement them.

✨8th House Suns. They are often used by the universe for change and upheaval. 8th House Suns don't always have to do something for this to happen. Their very existence can be triggering to others. This is because they are usually showcasing their best qualities by simply being themselves. This causes others to feel insecure, because they begin to recognize the qualities they lack inside of themselves. So, 8th House Suns end up becoming the family scapegoat. If you're an 8th house Sun, just remember that it isn't you. It's someone projecting their own problems onto you. There's power there if you know how to use it.

✨Neptune/Uranus in the 1st House. These individuals often have an air of mystery surrounding them. No one can really figure them out. So they end up having others project their assumptions about their character onto them. This is another placement where their very existence is troubling to others. Because they become a sounding board for others' insecurities.

I'll do more of these later and make this a series!

I've been wanting validation that I am a cycle breaker. It's been a lonely road, breaking generational trauma. This post really helped me realize I am not being unreasonable by focusing on doing better and not repeating what I learnt as a child.

To be a Christian is to forgive the inexcusable, because God has excused the inexcusable in you.

Avoidantly, I refrain From opening my mouth Fearing that you will hear My mother's heartache Etched into my words.

Anxiously, I hold my tongue Repressing my father's anger That of which poisons my blood.

Disorderly, My silence grows A bed of unspoken thoughts, Rooted in past sorrows, Watered by the tears of every generation before me.

Yet, in time, I learn to whisper To find my voice And declare that I am more Than the fears I have inherited. I abandon the screams Of my ancestors' pain, To break the cycle So that one day, My words will flow Not with heartache or anger, But with love and peace, instead.

by the moon: notes on ancestral healing

today i sit here remembering how i had planned ten years ago to run away.

i had packed a small bag with memories and insults, mockeries that were barely fitting in and i had flung it over my shoulders.

in the dark of the night, wearing the tattered cloak of my aspirations i had dared to step outside into the moonlight.

there was the sound of my beating heart, at the verge of exploding, and the silence of the nocturnal sky.

the mother moon had stirred in her slumber and casted a gentle glow on me.

“where are you going, dear one?” she had inquired with the utmost concern.

“i’m running away,” i had replied with a fervour in my tone.

she merely nodded, lighting the rest of the path for me.

“i’ve seen many young girls attempt it,” she said, accompanying me in my tread.

pure glee from within encased my being. i must be on the right path, i concluded.

“but i’ve never seen them quite succeed,” she emphasised.

the aching had returned in full force.

“why?” oh how i had asked with desperation as the last strand of hope was also slipping from my fingers.

“they run away from their homes, their lives and their families, thinking they’d finally set them free. they rejoice that their shackles have left their bruised wrists and ankles finally.”

i merely noded and listened to her attentively.

“but they forget that they have no means to run away from the poison that’s injected in their bloodstream through the first sip of their mother’s milk.”

i hold my breath and try to remember the taste of it. quite bitter-sweet, now that i think about it.

“it’s not your fault,” she reassured me.

“the suffering is but a family heirloom. and i’m afraid there’s no way to run from it, no matter the corner you pick.”

“then what must i do to rid myself of this?”

“it is but a curse that the women before you refused to feel. no, they weren’t given the time and space to make friends with it. so they gift it to their daughters & granddaughters, hoping that somehow they will transcend this generational misery.”

tears welled in my eyes and my courage waned. yet, she spoke with greater tenderness, that all-knowing being.

“if you truly wish to survive through this, then let it be felt and consume you for the years that it wishes to feed off of you. cry and heave, walk and persist. know it deeply, acknowledge it. and one day you shall depart from it.”

“remember that a curse can be broken if there is will. thank the suffering for protecting you and your lineage and declare that with you, it shall leave and free your family.”

i realised the ancient one had bestowed upon me a piece of information that must be heeded. i thanked her and retreated.

today, i remind myself that i must be brave for i am bound to be liberated. but not without befriending the anger, pain and the grudges. i must honor them and let them course through me.

for the centuries of the women in my family who weren’t allowed to lament their woes. so they had lovingly offered it to me.

Hate the normalization of verbal and physical abuse in black and brown households (especially. Growing up in one) But really the beef lies with any parent who has this issue. The habit of making your children work so hard to create stability and safety within your relationship because you don’t see them as children that you should love unconditionally is incredibly ridiculous. It is not a child’s responsibility to work for a good relationship with you. I was thinking about this last night (bc I’m always thinking about something) the lack of tolerance, patience, and grace we have for our children is horrible. Some of our parents treat us the way a slave master would only think to consider you if it were in their best interests. If your child embarrasses you, if your child doesn’t behave as you expect them too (from the perspective of a fully grown adult), if your child inconveniences you, it’s absolutely to hell with them half the time. How much does it cost you to be patient with your child? To be kind to your child? To be gentle with your child? To consider your child’s feelings and what they’ll have to carry with them at the expense of your approval because they aren’t allowed to be children and behave as such?

But as a black person, I understand how many issues we develop from the presence of white supremacy and generational curses and the trauma that we’ve experienced and inherited from one another for generations. Why are we so insistent on controlling our children? Breaking their spirits so they’re easily digestible to us? Verbally and physically abusing them? Reducing them to objects that are to be owned and not people who need to be taken care of and loved unconditionally? Sounds a whole lot like some other shit, but I’ll shut up.

If I ever have kids, I want to be the parent I never had.

I want to support my kids if they realize they're LGBTQ+.

I want them to feel safe talking to me about anything.

I want them to feel safe crying near me & know that I'll comfort them.

I want them to never hear me scream/yell.

I want them to randomly hug me or talk to me without fear of me being in a bad mood.

I want them to see me express my anger & sadness in healthy ways.

I want them to never know how it feels to have your feelings invalidated by your parents.

I want them to actually like living with me and not want to move at immediately at 18.

I want them to feel safe & loved because I wanted to feel safe & loved.

Capitalism and colonialism took community away from us and I want it back. I’ve heard about it from my grandparents and in books and articles online. All throughout history and still today in some parts of the world. People looking out for each other. Regularly. Relentlessly. Neighbors watching each others children, having enough food to share and actually sharing it, being invested in each others lives because everyone has different strengths.

Today community has been strategically painted as a weakness and something to be skeptical of because it is a threat to the very foundations of capitalism. And that’s a real fucking shame because in reality, growing up with community and still having that through adulthood would probably make most people generally happier and less perpetually tired and stressed. It is renewable resilient versatile adaptable self-sustaining and kind of the Ultimate Resource.

I will fix this for you

My mother carried the weight

Of her mothers, mothers burden

And she put that weight on me

She told me stand tall

And speak clear

But I will not hurl the weight of the world on you my dear

I’ll clean it up

Put all the broken parts back where they belong

So you will not have to sing the same out of tune song

I’ll heal this hurt

So it doesn’t hurt you

That’s what mothers are supposed to do

And I don’t blame my mom

Or hers

It’s hard when your carrying generations of hurt

But I’ll unpack these bags

And send all of the damaged goods back

And you my love

Will never have to carry that

Generational trauma breakers have it very tough because they have to actively work in themselves while existing in a toxic environment, and try to better themselves to prevent the generational abuse from repeating. I am currently going through this myself as a generational trauma breaker and it's a really hard road.

Not many people understand what it is like growing up in an abusive environment, not understanding why something feels off until awareness hits you that all of it was abuse and that you are the cycle breaker.

heal. your mom may never apologize to you because she’s conditioned herself to believe she did right by you.

heal. your father may never apologize to you, because he can only see what he’s done right.

heal. your family members may never apologize to you, because toxicity is what they were raised on.

heal for you. heal for the ones to come after you. right now, focus on healing for you. because you owe it to yourself.

Guys. It's Halloween! Go support your local showings of Rocky Horror Picture show. It's a ton of fun. It brings all kinds of different people together for different reasons, and it needs to be kept alive. For those of you that live in urban areas, it may seem alive and well, but for those in more rural or suburban areas, it's dying OR it's just making it to this audience after being something only urban areas did for decades. I went to a showing in a small brewery and about 20 people showed up, which was great, but what was most striking was that the only people who knew the lines were those in their 60s and 70s who have been watching it since it first came to theaters. Go while they're still alive! Go and learn all the lines for the next generation! Wear a corset! Don't take yourself so seriously! Bring your friends. Participate! Make up new lines as you go, just don't let this extremely important moment in LGBT cultural history lose its place. Is some of it outdated? Sure. But it's still a miracle that a film readily depicting men in women's clothing in which literally every character is bisexual/pansexual was ever made, much less that it still lives in the general public consciousness. Tim Curry served so much cunt it could be an all you can eat buffet and everyone deserves to live that and relive it and keep it in the mainstream of Halloween traditions. So, if your local brewery or library or any civic small town organization is hosting a showing--just go. Bring the props. Bring the glitter. Enjoy those who have been watching it since the 70s and be around for the next batch of youngins when the time comes.
