Asteroid Echo—Screaming to Detach

The myth of Echo is of Echo languishing because Narcissus can’t see her. If you see fine art paintings of them, Echo is in some state of mourning as she cannot make the object of her desires validate her existence. If one extrapolates to modern times, one sees a person screaming to be seen. The soul of Echo seems to be lost if she cannot accomplish her goal. Narcissus’ validation seems to be a picture of Heaven, a glorious existence in which Echo will be free. However, how is she to get there when Narcissus is trapped with his head in a pool? The answer lies within Echo, as it always does. She must detach from Narcissus in such a way that she is not carrying him around as a grave cloth. Easier said than done, you say. Yes, it is so. The goal for Echo is to be whole on her own if she never finds another Narcissus as she will look.It is in her blood . Needing another person to define one is as much a personality disorder as any, in my humble opinion. Echo is the modern day co-dependent of whom so much is written. The gravity of this condition is minimized as the condition wreaks havoc on the life of the Echo. How does she break the spell if she was programmed this way by the chart, you may ask? It is not easy. She must face the situation,squarely. However, it must be faced with the heart and not the head. Head understanding helps little, if at all.One must feel Echo in the depths of one’s being.One must hear her voice and know her name. She will haunt one as long as one runs. Echo will run to her Narcissus as she is programmed as such. Only when one clearly sees the Echo in oneself, can one make a change. This is as true in all of life as it is in Astrology.
