Establishing Foundations: personal integration, home, foundation, a protected and secure environment, family, traditions, your roots, heritage and background. The source of emotional security and wholeness, the private self, introversion, the parent who played the mother role, land, property, real estate. Private life, later life conditions, circumstances and environment, end-of-life, subconscious, psychological foundation, intimate ties.

Security, home, emotional experiences, early childhood, the parental influence, unconscious emotional triggers, the unconscious that underpins conscious activity. Our needs and how they are met. Inner child, root of emotional complexes, the roots as in family inherited characteristics, heritage and traditional attitudes passed on consciously or unconsciously. Our attunement with the inner self. Subjective experiences, inner self-image, feelings and reactions at an emotional level. New life, beginnings and endings. The grave. All the experiences that affect us emotionally from the outside world and changes our emotional view of that world.

The beginning and end of life; the home as the base. Parents’ attitudes and ability to fulfill their commitments. Houses, land and private life. That which is hidden in the depths of the self. Counsels a person whether to stay or to leave the birthplace. Defines the nature of one’s residence. End of matters, the latter part of life. Real estate and property. Focuses on the least prominent parent in the life. Your base of operations; in the outer world, your home … in the inner world, your Soul.
