In the Psycheverse
Psyche treats self-deception as a critical blind spot that undermines spiritual work and authentic self-knowledge. Particularly through astrological placements like Venus in the 12th house, she examines how spiritual seekers can rationalize avoidance patterns—mistaking escapism for transcendence, or reframing commitment issues as a need for freedom—and emphasizes that true liberation requires honest reckoning with what we're actually running from.
