最近在看一本占星書﹐The Yod Book: Including a Complete Discussion of Unaspected Planets by Karen Hamaker-Zondag．


每個人的一生中，難免會認識一兩個有著不安定靈魂的朋友，以下書中這一段YOD的敍述，是不是很容易讓我們想起這些人？


“People who have a YOD in the natal horoscope will have a hard time settling down into an acceptable, smooth-sailing pattern just because they will always be searching. This also applies to their relationship, and this means that they will have a hard time with what we are accustomed to calling a "middle-class" life, or a "homey" relationship. There will always be something gnawing at the back of their minds, "So is this it?" or "Life must have more to offer than this!" and the like. If they don't understand where this is coming from, they run the risk of abandoning a good relationship, or what is in itself a decent marriage, in searching of something else. For what? They don't know, but "something" is beckoning them and they "know" or "feel" that there simply has to more. There is a sizable danger there that they may run into the arms of a person who, for them, conjures up something very special which, in fact, has no content to offer, with grievous and painful experiences as a result.”


【在個人出生星盤裏有YOD的人很難安於差強人意平穩行駛的生命航程，這肇因於他們無時無刻都置身在追尋狀態中。這情形也表現在他們的兩性關係上，亦即這些人很難習慣於所謂的中產階級生活或居家型的兩性關係。

在這些人的腦袋深處裏一直有個念頭在反覆啃噬著他們：「就這樣了嗎？」「人生不應僅只於此！應該還有點別的！」諸如此類的質疑。這類型的人如果不能明白自己何以如此，他們可能會冒著抛棄一段優質的兩性關係甚或婚姻，而去追尋其他的東西。究竟他們在追尋什麽？其實他們自己也不知道！只知道有個聲音一直在召喚著他們，而他們「知道」或「感覺」到生命一定還有些別的！

這樣的人有一個很大程度的危險，他們可能會像着了魔似地被一個全然匱乏的對象所吸引而奔入其懷中，最終以悔恨痛苦收場。】


記得有位朋友曾說過：「平安就是幸福這句話，根本就是在洗腦！如果平安無災就是所謂的幸福，那幸福也太廉價了。」說這句話的朋友，其星盤裏正有個日火月ＹＯＤ．


於是我有個聯想，是不是個人星盤裏有ＹＯＤ的人，其所處的原型(archetype)狀態多半是強勢的追尋者（ｓｅｅｋｅｒ）或破壞者（ｄｅｓｔｒｏｙｅｒ）？而ＹＯＤ的作用傾向於彰顯追尋者和破壞者的陰暗面，例如一個永遠不滿意現況的完美主義者（追尋者的陰暗面），或是一個寧為玉碎不為瓦全（all-or-nothing）的偏激主義者(破壞者的陰暗面)？


也許個人出生星盤裏有YOD的朋友，此生的生命課題就是去經營上帝的手指（the finger of God）所指向之處，擺脫探索期原型的陰暗面，昇華靈魂進入返回期吧！
