Nobody in this world should be excluded from healing, and in the end, nobody is. Yet you may need to balance your desire to include everyone with the understanding that some resist, some go kicking and screaming, and others have another agenda entirely. The most significant theme to focus on is your own healing agenda; if you've ever wondered when the perfect time would come to do this, you're standing right in it, right now. Here are some themes as I see them: How do you handle your need to belong to the world around you? (Some options are: conforming, collaborating, communicating, or coveting.) How do you relate to the past? (Some options are: destroy it, reinterpret it, regret it, or learn from it.) How do you handle your obsessions? (Some options are: self-control, hyperfocus on your immediate environment, or eating your brain alive with anxiety.) How do you handle your violent tendencies? (Some options are: take them out on yourself, collect weapons, play sports, argue with everyone.) Most significantly, what is your concept of relationship? Does it include or exclude others? Are you basing your conduct on a commitment to freedom, or retreating into jealousy? The implication of your chart is that relationships are the most significant focus of your healing process right now, which will, sooner or later, include providing both an example and a safe space for others. In this regard, you are far more influential than you may suspect.
