This essential multiplicity of potential meanings relevant to any archetype requires of us both humility and caution as we pursue astrological understanding. Otherwise, there is a real danger of psychological wounding — to others and to ourselves. We must be mindful of tendencies to project our fears or our wishes into our assessments, and to overestimate our knowledge of all the relevant data. Some can try to use astrology to serve an impulse to control life rather than to participate in life. All these represent distortions of the true promise offered us by archetypal astrology.
