I accidentally scratched my left eye with my fingernail. It
wasn't a severe wound--there wasn't any blood or even tears, for that
matter. But the eye kept hurting, so I finally went to the eye
doctor to have it checked out. Luckily, the doctor said my eye
was healing just fine, but the way he described the wound was
intriguing. Peering at my eye through his instruments, he said,
"It's like I'm looking at a constellation of stars." Apparently,
there were some microscopic fragments of glass on my fingernail when I
cut my eye (I can't imagine where they came from!), and they were
twinkling at the doctor. With my interest in astrology and the
concept of the eyes being the "window of the soul," I found it
fascinating that the doctor saw a star field in my eye. Then he
said something even more intriguing. He described the tiny cut in
my eye as a "comet trail," and he talked about how it was flying toward
the corner of my eye. I've been trying to analyze the symbolic
significance of my diagnosis. The left eye is traditionally
associated with feminine insight. A comet is traditionally
considered a harbinger of some sort. So does a comet trailing
through my feminine insight toward my nose ("third eye" area) seem to
announce a shift in my outlook?
