While you may have used Neptune as a reference for the idea of Trust and Belief, there are two asteroids that cover that idea: Fides #37 and Fiducia #380. You then assess their dial axis (aspect pattern) to determine where and how you’ve had “trust issues.” For instance:
Fides-Hera: Have you been able to trust partners and dedication to relationship? Fides-Pluto: Have you been in situations where the idea of Trust was a cover for control or manipulation? Has $$$ been involved? Were there questionable motives? Fides-Lilith: Was there trust…until there was infidelity or rejection? Could you rely on someone’s criticism remarks? Fides-Psyche: Did you believe someone until you realized there were important psychological issues affecting them? Fides- Aesculapia: Do you trust doctors and their work? (Note: In the Research Access medical area, there are points for Misdiagnosis.) Fides-Jupiter: Do you well rely on your sense of whether another is trustworthy? Fides-Sphinx: Have you had experiences where you questioned whether someone was trustworthy? Whether they should be believed?
What are Fides and Fiducia indicating in your chart about this whole Trust and Believe theme? Remember that there are these asteroids too: Lie #26955, Sly #57509 and Swindle #8690.
These days, there can be times with a Fides-Poseidon where you might wonder if the media and their facts are trustworthy. You may have times of Fides-Kronos where you aren’t sure whether to believe officials, other experts or celebrities. The Fides-Hades can bring up the past and whether reports of it are true. Similarly, news that shames or speaks negatively can also be questionable. Is it true? Should it be believed?
Speaking of that, research has just come out that many scientific studies that are published are, in fact, false! Since they’re not completely checked, they support reputations of authors and add money to them and to pharmaceutical companies! On one level, this can’t surprise us. A few years ago (maybe when the whole COVD thing started,) we had that transiting sesquiquadrate from Apollon to Neptune and we talked about false, fake and pretend “science.” So Fides and Fiducia are more important than we realized.
