Wow! Phenomenal! Who needs a councillor when we have you, Christopher! You have such a succinct way of explaining our innermost stumbling blocks and bring them into the light so they can be healed! Thank you!
You know! I'm here in tears. I've had 27yrs of therapy, but never a session quite like this! Wanting to save my coins to hopefully schedule a read from him some day. ❤️🩹
Wow Christopher, I am just going to reiterate what you said, that is so important when facing these patterns, "be loving", maybe being like a caring loving mother or father to these parts of self that really were or are doing their best from their level of consciousness to protect one, they need permission and love, and a feeling of safety to know it is okay to let go.
I so look forward to you each and every Sunday! Wish we got more of you but I really cherish your insights, your time & your energy! Thank you so much!
Thank you, Christopher! That was very helpfull. As a Capricorn Sun, i recognise these defenses. The fear of not having, the bitterness of frustration, the obedience to invisible family orders, the never enough, the hiding from my own light, the toughness, austerity, resistance to what?... This long Pluto transit brought all that to the suface. Mercury helps to make It clear. All these defenses are self-fullfiling profecies at the end. I am not far away from losing everything, again, and always fighting against it. Maybe this time I can just accept the possibility, learn to live with It instead of being in eternal struggle, just let go all these "must" and "have to" and...and then what? That's a big Capricorn void. Maybe just live...
"Maybe just live" is a beautiful mantra. Perhaps the most important thing we can say to ourselves and others. I hope things get better for you Kristof. It sounds like you've been through some pretty rough patches. 😊
Very poignant and can relate to this in different circumstances . Helplessness is tragic , guilt now ebbing away this year . Speaking as a Capricorn I understand how I do this xxx interestingly an article in the Guardian found that psychologists have found a phenomenon called ‘ learned loneliness ‘ has happened since the pandemic xxx
I absolutely love this weeks show. This is so apt. I have been working on this the past 3 years. I understood then when I started this journey that indeed all those unsavoury 'traits/habits' were my way of protecting myself. Some served me really well but so many of them are not congruent with the person I am today. Thank you so much as always Christopher and here is wishing you a fabulous week ahead. 🙏🏿
Every week a new and fascinating resources encouraging us to keep digging deeper.. Grateful as always for the vast richness you share with your listeners .. Thank you for your invaluable teachings 💜
You are one of my favorite story tellers I swear! Love listening to you. Thank you for the free education and awesome stories, you are such a gem! 🙏✨️💛🖤
I can relate without a doubt to guilt masking helplessness with the passing of my mother a year ago and my husband’s progressing illness today. I will have to read Ms. Pagel’s books. Thank you for your stories and recommendations ❤ They help me immensely.
I wish this episode were an extended version without edits 🥺 Language drips from the overflowing mind, liquid annunciation choreographed through lore, history, and time... I soak it all in 💜
I found the editing and audio quality of this week’s talk to interfere with the beauty and magic of your message and storytelling. I really love your work.
Addressing some deep cuts today, Christopher. I needed to be called out, so thank you. Natal Venus in 6th House Capricorn is currently being conjunct by Pluto..and subsequently Mecury next week. This is the last chance to release these coping mechanisms. Thanks for the reminder..and the therapy session!
Thank you so much. My Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Midheaven are all in Capricorn. This talk was almost as if you are talking directly to me. I am even a military veteran and I completely understand the Japanese soldiers. So amazing. Again, thank you.
Dearest Christopher Thank YOU 🙏 PRECIOUS ONE you literally cleared a huge very important life issue For me a 71 year old Pisces lady Born in 1951 March 10 th With a scorpio ♏️ rising Now all I have to do IS Put this into action That’s the work ahead of me I definitely see a way out So it’s worth finding the courage To put this new awareness Into a healthy happier relationship With myself Thank YOU 🙏 AGAIN Wondrous One Lotsa Love 💕 Tiger 🐅 Lotus🪷
Dear Christopher, This feels so deeply relevant and helpful. Thank you so much. I will dive into the depths of my own defenses and gently dismantle, and re-purpose them if possible. Sending you a gentle heart hug
The descriptions of the Saturnian defense mechanisms offered here were insightful and they helped me immensely. The whole presentation was so well done, the stories of the Japanese soldiers illustrated your point perfectly about holding onto what is no longer relevant but deeply imprinted. Thank you, thank you. Just brilliant.
Thanks Christopher, though I plan to live a long life, 240 more years is unlikely, at least in this human form. I love the idea of clearing out the refrigerator, the psyche clean up! Excellent.
Christopher, I love your stories! This Pluto story went deep... but then everything is deep when it comes to Pluto! Thank you so much for making these transits come to life! I so appreciate you!
This. I realize you're talking about pluto conjunct merc... in reality, it's also the last 15 years of pluto transiting the 12th house. I'd like to say I wish I would've had this sooner 🤣 Truth is, I never would have understood it to the depth that I do now. On this side, we just do the work so the scars aren't disabling (aka repatriation).
Thank YOU 🙏 I Love ❤️ it You put it so Beautifully Now let’s find the courage To make the changes In self reflection That the dearest one Has given us Lotsa Love 💕 Tiger 🐅 Lotus 🪷
This is so very on point. My mercury is at 21 Capricorn, the past couple of years has brought great changes. All of these different things have been vivid in my life. Thinking has changed and is definitely the qualities you speak about are so much prevalent each and every day. This is my third house intercepted, at times hard to think in a precise way. Thank you for sharing this it helps to have clarity.
Ok Professor, you struck a cord! I've been sitting with this message for the past two days...I went through my fridge as an exercise and yup...I found things to throw out...testing, withholding, austerity, I didn't realize these were my actual defense mechanisms...Mercury conjunct Pluto is how my mind thinks in the 10th House...in the House associated with my ascendant ruler, Saturn, where he is exalted in Libra and INDEED, my mind digs deep for the Truth and INDEED I can show the face of withdrawing unto myself, I do it all of the time, out of fear that someone is going to take advantage of me or use me and under value me...I don't know if I can let that go...I might be the one found in the cave still defending a war that has ended...lawd.
Oh, I think you'll come out when you feel ready. OMG! I just got struck with the image of Glenda from the Wizard of Oz calling out "come out, come out wherever you are" to all the forgotten Japanese soldiers from WW 2! 😊
I am deeply grateful for this episode. You are such a wonderful story teller. I like many of your episodes. This one stands out for me. Such a great offering to reflect upon own patterns. The extra sweetness about it that you are presenting these multiple stories in such a gentle way that we a super curious about your telling while you enable us to loosen our default defense automatism. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Christopher, you are brilliant, so creative and the kindest soul on the planet to do this amazing show for us every week. You are a beautiful blessing. My mercury is in Capricorn, conjunct my south node. Pluto will be approaching my Aquarius sun very soon. Thank you for the medicine every single week. ♥
Reviewing this video on Feb 9th as I am feeling the intensity starting this morning. Very much working to understand the defense mechanisms that are causing me emotional and physical havoc. As a Cap Sun and Scorpio Ascendant, I'm feeling overwhelmed. Thank you Christopher 💓 for this explanation of the energies of Scorpio Mercury conj in Cap, and how to work WITH the energy to heal. 💓 It helps me to realize I'm not going crazy!
I try not to be a respecter of persons but Christopher you are my favorite astrologer ❤️. You really bring it home with the essence of how C.Jung related it. Everytime I watch one of your videos it gives me great joy to do the introspection work afterwards. And your stories about history and mythology are fantastic.
Thank you! You are utterly the best “teacher”. I woke up at 5am and listening to you is how I’m starting my day. Can’t think of a better way. Now coffee and thinking about your lesson. You are amazing. Thank you thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you, Christopher, Beautiful given explanation of Pluto conjunct mercury in Capricorn on February 10, 2023. This information is coming at a time when I need it the most. I am attempting to change things that is taboo to my family. I have long protected my family at the expensed. of my own needs. It is time to love myself, not to be self-defensive with being self-hating and know that my changes will help me and that ok. You help to teach me (with examples) how to redirect my defense mechanism with care and love. I may want the same outcome but how I go about it can be different and healthier way. notes from a Novice Flagstaff, az
It is sad, that even in the face of changed circumstances, that we still cling (consciously or not) to defense mechanisms that at a certain point (in the face of what is otherwise obvious) do not serve us! Once again, I love the stories to emphasize the point! Thank you again, Christopher!!!🤔
@@christopherrenstromastro Thank you, for all you do for us, Christopher. I also really appreciate the advice to repatriate the defense mechanisms instead of being hard on them and/or banishing them!
In my humble opinion, you are simply awesome!! 🙏 you have such an incredible way of waxing lyrical, so as to form a film like imagery in my head. I am a visual person and your profound ability to create such drama in my mind, makes it so easy for me to understand and retain the lesson! Just brilliant! I wish I had more superlatives, but you’re quite the treasure. So glad I stumbled across you in my search for meaning 🙏 I have had trauma and anxiety for many years, my mind still thinks the war is raging, so I completely understand what you are saying here. Thank you ❤️
I am a Capricorn sun (0*). I get the bitterness. Scorpio rising, too (Pluto). I won the art fair in the 4th grade. I totally didn’t expect it. I won out of the whole school that went to 6th grade. No one came to my award show, not even me. I was embarrassed to go bc neither of my parents thought it was important to go. I have 3 brothers who were always in sports. My mom never missed any of their games. I think this may have been when I gave up.
What a master storyteller. We go on a visual and intelligent journey then a masterful illustrative ending. I could see these Japanese men in my mind as I was listening. Pondering where my own defensive mechanisms were hiding.So thoughtful and thought provoking. Could the Universe be schooling each of us with the current ✨ planetary lessons and energies. Mind blowing 🤯 😳 Thank you
Writing is a tedious mission which reminds me a lot of Saturn. I wake up early, I have an idea & I can't make it disappear, it's restricting me in some way so I set the goal & get to work. I know it will take time & it wont be easy, maybe that mountain is too high for me, only a few get to the top. Those how got there, tell u about a lonely voyage full of obstacles, guilt & despair. Even a smaller percentage get financially rewarded & most writers will never even be acknowledged for all the hard work & emotional effort, writing is a lonely & ungrateful way of life. I was almost glad about the forecast for the 21st century as it was delivered by my father when he brought my first computer home, he confidently declared that I can through away my fairy tales, nobody will want to read anymore, we have digital games for entertainment now, stories r out of fashion, gone with the wind. Your beautiful Astrology Stories r the proof this prediction was false. Thx:)
Thank you, Christopher. I am so grateful for this information that you have shared with us, it is so valuable. I had to listen to this several times to help my analyse myself. 🙏💞
So appreciate the Pluto Cap info, I learn so much from you, more tools for the toolbox. Thank you for inspiring💛! The Japanese soldiers how fascinating (WWII buff) Elaine Pagels is in the PBS special on early Christianity. Thanks again Christopher from Patty
I'm so glad that this week's episode spoke to you in so many ways. Not everyone is a WW2 buff AND knows who Elaine Pagels is. Thanks for stopping by and watching cancerconundrum. 😊
💰 Yes, focusing on money can be a defensive mechanism to make sure you are self-reliant and independent. Especially if you've been in a situation where you cannot rely on anyone else. It means freedom from worry about your physical well being.
Christopher, that was epic. Epic and beautiful and incredibly useful (which Capricorn would like, don't you think?). From the Japanese soldiers to the Oresteia ~ just incredible!
I was born with Mercury at 28° Cap, so Pluto has had lots of "fun" with me in past while. But I finally now get what my Birth Mercury really is!!!....at 66 years old!
So glad that you enjoyed this week's episode Brid. And don't worry about finally understanding your Mercury at 66 years old. If Astrology teaches anything it's that we do things on the planets' schedules; not ours. 😊
wow, Christopher. I've watched so many of your videos, loving them, loving you. But this one has to go in your personal record books. So above and beyond. Maybe it's because I'm a psychologist with literary leanings and not the other way around. So beautiful.
Thank You Christopher! That was deep!! How brilliant to convey the energies we are transiting thru a story even those with little understanding of the “astrology” can relate to and identify with. May all hear your words and be inspired to move forward with wisdom and understanding 💜🙏🙏
Wow .. this was so moving for me, you are truly among the best of the story tellers .. I really hope I can work with my defense mechanisms and repatriate them 🤗..
Need more C.R. 🛎
Wow! Phenomenal! Who needs a councillor when we have you, Christopher! You have such a succinct way of explaining our innermost stumbling blocks and bring them into the light so they can be healed! Thank you!

7:59 min. There's those highly anticipated and sweet words from Christopher Renstrom: "I want to tell you a story..." 😊💛
Wow Christopher, I am just going to reiterate what you said, that is so important when facing these patterns, "be loving", maybe being like a caring loving mother or father to these parts of self that really were or are doing their best from their level of consciousness to protect one, they need permission and love, and a feeling of safety to know it is okay to let go.

So appreciate the Pluto Cap info, I learn so much from you, more tools for the toolbox. Thank you for inspiring💛! The Japanese soldiers how fascinating (WWII buff) Elaine Pagels is in the PBS special on early Christianity. Thanks again Christopher from Patty
I'm so glad that this week's episode spoke to you in so many ways. Not everyone is a WW2 buff AND knows who Elaine Pagels is. Thanks for stopping by and watching cancerconundrum. 😊
4 minutes in, listening as I put groceries away; and my rabbit jumps into the fridge. Coaxing him out when the fridge analogy drops. Life is so funny.
Thank you for sending me pictures of the rabbit in the fridge Kate. I'm still chuckling over them. 😊
💰 Yes, focusing on money can be a defensive mechanism to make sure you are self-reliant and independent. Especially if you've been in a situation where you cannot rely on anyone else. It means freedom from worry about your physical well being.
You got it! 😊
Christopher, that was epic. Epic and beautiful and incredibly useful (which Capricorn would like, don't you think?). From the Japanese soldiers to the Oresteia ~ just incredible!
Oh my gosh I feel like this was so needed! Thank you so much
Nice seeing you Joolly! Hope to see you live at the Q&As ✨
You're welcome Plutonic Sync. And thanks for watching. 😊
Thank you so much for this 🌹❤️🌼
Wow- these stories are amazing 😲
I'm so glad that you enjoy them Nancy. 😊
I was born with Mercury at 28° Cap, so Pluto has had lots of "fun" with me in past while. But I finally now get what my Birth Mercury really is!!!....at 66 years old!
So glad that you enjoyed this week's episode Brid. And don't worry about finally understanding your Mercury at 66 years old. If Astrology teaches anything it's that we do things on the planets' schedules; not ours. 😊
Beautiful. Bless you ❤️🙏❤️
Thanks for listening

wow, Christopher. I've watched so many of your videos, loving them, loving you. But this one has to go in your personal record books. So above and beyond. Maybe it's because I'm a psychologist with literary leanings and not the other way around. So beautiful.
I'm so glad that you enjoy these videos Patrish. And thank you SO much for your kind and encouraging words. They are greatly appreciated. 😊
Thank You Christopher!
That was deep!!
How brilliant to convey the energies we are transiting thru a story even those with little understanding of the “astrology” can relate to and identify with. May all hear your words and be inspired to move forward with wisdom and understanding 💜🙏🙏
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this week's episode The 145 Club. It means a lot to me. 😊

Christopher Renstrom’s storytelling is EPIC!!!!
Wow .. this was so moving for me, you are truly among the best of the story tellers .. I really hope I can work with my defense mechanisms and repatriate them 🤗..
I'm sure that you can. It's the perfect thing to do with Mercury forming a conjunction to Pluto this week. 😊
Christopher, this was one of your best talks ever. Thank you.❤
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it Nicole. That means a lot to me. 😊
