IMMEDIACY & THE IN-BETWEEN
Quick reactions come from primal instincts and our need for survival, and other than the obvious physical aspects like dodging a swinging axe from time to time, what threatens our survival more than a lack of love? Don’t worry, its rhetorical.
Love, a core function and need from birth that plants within us an insatiable desire, a need for approval, or in more extreme cases, the need to compete to be unequivocally seen and witnessed. Over time it drip feeds fear into our psyche, and underneath the surface lies this subtle but ever-present sense that we might miss out on something should be not be ‘at the ready’, or ‘showing up’. We have all said yes (whether verbally or physically) without thought of consequence and with a knee-jerk reaction at some point in our lives, and I invite you to ruminate on the root of that - the origin of your jerks, the desire that lay buried underneath.
Deriving from the latin word ”Immediatus” meaning ‘without anything in between’, we can see that there is both a lack of time, space and mediation when reacting with immediacy - a natural pressure that arises, whether pleasurable or otherwise.
After a recent playback on a recording of a past life regression I had five years ago, I began to ruminate further on immediacy and its correlation to the archetype of Gemini, my ascendent. For those more adept in Astrology I have Jupiter in Gemini (12th house) conjunct my Gemini Ascendent by one degree in my natal chart. And for those new to astrology, a conjunction is when a planet sits within an 8 degree orb of another angle, asteroid, luminary or planet. When a conjunction occurs the coding of the pair merges, both infusing one another with meaning, one tinting the other and making a ‘new little recipe’ if you will. The 12th house correlates to that which is hidden, and therefore often contains a lot of past life ‘material’ and for those of you who do not subscribe to the notion of past lives - deeply, deeply unconscious material resides here. It got me thinking deeply about the shadow aspects of Gemini and with Uranus moving back into Gemini early next year ( 2026 ) how the unseen shadow aspects of Gemini may affect the collective as witnessed in my regression.
