Why Do Aries Like to Argue?
Aries are well known hotheads. They generally have a hair-trigger temper and rarely back down from a fight. But why are they like this? Surely this can’t be fun for them? No one can actually be happy this way, right? … Read More…

August 31st, 2019: Mercury Inconjunct Chiron

Mercury in Virgo inconjunct Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)
The inconjunct is about integrating discordant energies. We have Mercury in Virgo with the helpful suggestions and focus on what’s broken. And we have Chiron in Aries – the wounded warrior, the path forward that demands courage while you’re hurting.
Chiron’s wound must be acknowledged without trying to fix it. Mercury in Virgo needs to recognize what’s happening, even analyze it, but refrain from offering solutions. Because there are no solutions and trying to say the “right” thing will trigger more hurt.
Think about what happens when you offer unwanted advice or helpful observations.
The challenge here is to listen and observe without pointing out how it could be better. Emphasize but don’t judge. If you identify a painful area in your life, your challenge will be to not get caught up in searching for a fix – there is no fix, you just have to admit that it’s not perfect and you’ve done your best.
August 28th, 2019: Progress And What Can’t Be Fixed

Sun
The inconjunct to Chiron illuminates what hurts and what cannot be fixed. Virgo Sun’s purpose is to correct, but this influence will expose the wound that must be confronted rather than neatly tidied up. The focus on what sticks out like a sore thumb (Chiron in Aries) can emphasize distorted Virgo issues of not being good enough/smart enough.
But the messy, aggressive issue can increase awareness that this is a work in progress which requires empathy – helping others by acknowledging their battle rather than enforcing militant solutions. The Sun’s square to Ceres also hints at a crisis of nurturing – trying so hard to care and protect that good intentions become smothering. Freedom or ideals can trigger anxiety, with a resulting focus on “shoulds” and details that stifle growth.
Mars
Mars/Uranus is a nice antidote to the above. Precise, studious actions are injected with enough innovation that they enable change. Moving forward step-by-step can gradually reveal new details. Excellent for working on something that requires careful progress. This aspect also helps to counteract the Virgo paralysis that occurs with the loop of endless corrections: Uranus provides a nudge that keeps you moving.
If you get caught up in anxiety or fears of failure, slow down and initiate one small change at a time.
August 27th, 2019: Chiron Trine Ceres
Chiron Rx in Aries trine Ceres in Sagittarius (4 deg)
The painful issue can be addressed with expansive nurturing. Chiron in Aries is about the courage to be uncomfortable/stand out/fight while you’re hurting. It’s the new, painful battle. Ceres in Sag can help you integrate those issues via learning, exploration or the growth of faith. This aspect says it’s ok to bleed a bit – the wound won’t stop you from reaching further.
Actually, the further you reach the more care and support you’ll find. The Fire energy encourages motivation, passion and hope for the future.
This is the second of two trines (the first occurred on June 6th when Chiron was direct and Ceres Rx). So you’re revisiting what hurts, maybe taking another shot at something that requires more faith.
In mundane matters this can point to a course of education about healing/food issues or successfully addressing difficult legal matters involving mother/child.

August 20th, 2019: Keep Striving

Moon in Aries square Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)
Waning Trine between the Aries Moon and Leo Sun (27 deg)
The Moon/Pluto square is a crisis of power versus initiative. The Aries Moon represents something new and impulsive while Pluto Rx adds an extra push, motivated by fear of being controlled or losing control.
This can be a very aggressive influence with manipulative undertones. Usually, Aries is upfront and honest, but the Pluto square suggests hidden motivations. There may be a struggle to break away from authority.
Nonetheless, the pressure of this crisis can propel you into the Waning Trine, an easier influence that involves sharing your energy with others. Aggressive beginnings will flow into something you can be proud of, as others sit up and take notice. Or, an initial power struggle/compulsive effort can help you break through a barrier and reach others.
The takeaway is that you should keep trying, even when confronted with initial resistance. Acknowledge what’s going on beneath, so it doesn’t control you. But keep striving for that breakthrough because there’s light on the horizon.

August Asteroids
Taking a quick look at what the asteroids are up to at the moment. Juno, Pallas, Ceres and Vesta move slowly enough to have serious impact, and quickly enough to be entertaining. Getting to know your asteroids adds a little turmeric and chili, ginger and garlic to your horoscopic stew. Especially relevant for some signs, of course. Some ideas to ponder when it comes to social contracts…
