October 5th, 2019: Crisis and Discomfort

by  •

  • First Quarter Square between the Capricorn Moon and Libra Sun (12°)

  • Mercury in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

The 1st Quarter Square triggers a crisis between relationships and boundaries. Libra Sun wants to be sociable and agreeable, but Capricorn says it’s time to say “No” or express your authority. This will feel uncomfortable, but it will be even more uncomfortable to try to make everyone happy. Take action and draw your line.

Mercury/ Chiron adds to the discomfort as deep analysis or intense words reveal painful issues. You may be tempted to not look at or speak about the taboo issue because the wound is still fresh. Or, you may be so preoccupied with fighting the ongoing battle that you forget to look beneath the surface. 

Chiron RX means you are revisiting a previous wound and this is the ideal moment to uncover more information/ secrets. Don’t be afraid to look deeper this time around. The 1st Quarter Square indicates that events will push you forward if you act -you can progress. You just have to be willing to confront the ugly stuff.

September 26th, 2019: Sun Opposite Chiron And Mercury Square Pluto

  • Libra Sun opposite Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

  • Mercury in Libra square Pluto RX in a Capricorn (20°)

The theme today is harmony challenged by uncomfortable truths. Don’t expect things to go smoothly, but there will be extreme valueI in the tension.

The Sun illuminates Chiron’s pain or vulnerability but you may experience it through another. The opposition is an aspect of projection and Libra strongly emphasizes protection. So this could involve projected wounds, or seeing your pain reflected in the eyes of another. Social or relationship purposes can be compromised by wounds that are not owned. Feeling like a victim (everyone is out to get you) is a possibility.

On the plus side, there is a chance to access empathy through another’s difficulties. Keep an eye out for unbalanced situations where a wound becomes the main purpose. Consider if there is a way to correct that imbalance by courageously confronting what hurts. Make the switch from victim to warrior.

Note that the Sun conjoined Chiron On March 22 at 1° Aries. This oppositionIs the result of what began around that date.

Mercury/Pluto will add some difficult but valuable undertones to the above. The crisis between socially acceptable words versus dark truths will create pleasant conversations with a sharp or manipulative edge. Pay attention to the tone and how someone’s words make you feel, even if that feeling seems contrary to what they’re saying. This means you’re becoming aware of the passive- aggressive or obscured desire for power/fear of losing power.

Pluto in any aspect to Mercury always reveals rich truths. The darker the truth the richer it is. This can give you more fuel to deal with the Sun/ Chiron opposition. If you stay on your toes and really listen to what’s being said, you’ll gain access to the entire picture; it will be uncomfortable but very fruitful.

September 17th, 2019: Rough Patches

by  •

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Venus in Libra opposite Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)

A difficult day for relationship harmony.

Venus in Libra loves to be loved and to have everything polished, pretty and graceful. This can mean bending over backwards to be accommodating, but the opposition to Chiron indicates that there will be socially uncomfortable moments, no matter what.

Efforts to be charming or diplomatic may fail, or end up inadvertently triggering a sore spot. Perhaps you’re hurt because someone is taking advantage or treating you unfairly. This is the time to be aware of what desires (regarding love, attention and values) you’re projecting. People don’t know what you want unless you tell them. If they can’t or won’t meet you halfway (after you’ve been open) this tells you something about them.

Adding to this, we have Mercury making a painful inconjunct to Uranus in Venus-ruled Taurus. Polite conversation will be difficult due to hard-to-pinpoint anxiety about saying the right thing. There’s a need to speak the truth/break away from what’s proper, but there can be doubts about how to do this effectively. Words may swing between the complete avoidance of anything controversial (candy-coated statements) to blunt, artless blurbs.

Expect touchy, painful moments and inappropriate words. Do your best to navigate by making allowances for rough patches.

September 16th, 2019: Mercury Opposite Chiron

  • Mercury in Libra opposite Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)

Mercury in Libra wants to say the nice thing and gloss over the painful stuff. The opposition to Chiron says this will be difficult, because almost anything will activate a sore spot or sound awkward. In fact, you may find that more you try to be polite, the more likely you are to say the wrong thing. Wounds/sensitivities may be projected so that everything sounds hurtful. Watch for backhanded compliments (passive-aggressive) or compliments that are genuine but rub someone the wrong way (unintentionally hurtful).

Compromise and diplomacy will not be favoured. You probably won’t see the painful words coming because Mercury in Libra is not blunt. Focus on the unpleasant issue and talk about it as best you can. Accept that the discussion will not be smooth, but Chiron shouldn’t be ignored. This could also be a good time to apologize.
