Behaviors
caused by traumatic experiences in early life are reversible. Researchers from
the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich could demonstrate that environmental
enrichment allows trauma-related symptoms in mice to be reversed. This is the
first evidence that positive environmental factors can correct behavioral
alterations which would otherwise be transmitted to the offspring. The symptoms
and their reversal are associated with epigenetic regulation of the
glucocorticoid receptor gene. Traumatic experiences in childhood increase the
risk of developing behavioral and psychiatric disorders later in life. It is
also known that the consequences of a trauma can likewise be observed in the
children of people affected even if those children have themselves not
experienced any trauma. However, childhood trauma in some conditions can also
help individuals deal better with difficult situations later in life. This
ability, too, is passed onto following generations. These findings have
recently been uncovered by Isabelle Mansuy, Professor of Neuroepigenetics at
the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, during investigations carried out in
mice. June 23
Lunations have an interesting way of highlighting major
issues that take place under their influence. A chart for the current Full Moon
at Zurich not only symbolically contains the issues mentioned but also tells us
the root cause behind it. The Full Moon fell on the meridian axis along with
the TNPs Cupido-Hades and square the dwarf planet Makemake placed on the
Ascendant. Putting together keyphrases for the TNPs from Martha Wescott we can see why one of issues being
highlighted by the Full Moon is “depression linked to family history”.
CUPIDO: Issues
in the family history; group unity or dynamics; comments on the home, residence or
household themes; decor; artistry; sense for art; partner or family members.
HADES: Disgust/distaste;
debilitation or deterioration; interest in the past (inc. past lives)—thus
history and primitive origins; handling highly detailed work, chores or
drudgery; “messy” situations; depressing emotions; research; investigation into the root cause
of problems; bowels; vermin or toxins.
About Makemake’s primary influence in our lives, Nick
Fiorenza writes [1]:
Makemake points towards “psycho-emotional
life scenarios by which we may seem helplessly trapped. and can “indicate
initiatory lessons to claim our own power regarding this theme, to stand in our
soul integrity rather than turning our heads in arrogant denial and falling
into a sense of perpetual helplessness”. “Here we are asked to become attentive
to the fact that our intent of purpose can be diverted and dispersed by
psycho-emotional forces that congest us when toxic physical conditions exist,
when we are naive to such forces, or simply in mental-emotional denial. Our
psycho-emotional fog can then perpetuate confused life scenarios, antiquated
involvements, or entrapments that are no longer in our highest interest nor
serving our well-being, especially regarding our fundamental physical needs and
emotional desires”.
In other words, Makemake at the apex of the Full Moon
T-square is telling us that depressions linked to family history can be
overcome if we stand in integrity to ourselves and not allow toxic and antiquated
involvement, or entrapments to stop us from claiming our own power. (Observant
readers will see a connection to today’s decision by Britain to leave the EU,
thereby claiming their own power and identify it as a way out of "family inherited depression.")
