The Sun conjoins Mercury in Scorpio, at 4 degrees. Clarity pierces the shadows, revealing secrets or additional layers. This superior conjunction may be connected to September 12th’s inferior conjunction at 20 degrees Virgo (when Mercury was Rx). The facts that were illuminated then are peeled back now. A richer understanding is achieved.

This connects to Venus in Sagittarius’ square to the Mercury-ruled North Node in Virgo/South Node in Pisces, at 11 degrees. Venus in Sag triggers a point of tension. The restless desire to expand or take an emotional/financial leap may bring you to a crossroads. The North Node and Mercury in Scorpio say the way forward involves carrying the facts to their ultimate conclusion. The time for vagueness or escapism is over. If you’re going to jump in, make sure you know exactly how deep the waters are, what you really want, and the potential consequences. No excuses. 

Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Chiron Rx in Pisces, at 21 degrees. Quiet healing is achieved with sober, determined actions. Doing what needs to be done, and doing it with focused efficiency, will move you along nicely. Disciplined actions carry you over awkward patches. This will happen so smoothly that one else may notice. But you will. Tackle the sore spot and keep marching forward.

Terrorism, the Discovery of Chiron and Great Art

by  • 

Chiron, the erratic asteroid that weaves between Uranus and Saturn, was discovered on November 1, 1977 on a photographic plate that had been taken on October 18. That second date might just ring a bell for you if you happen to be interested in contemporary art – because it’s also the collective title of some of the most famous works of art about terrorism ever made. Gerhard Richter’s weird, grungy pictures grouped under the title 18. Oktober 1977 reimagine the demise of Germany’s notorious Baader-Meinhof gang. On that day, three members of the gang were found dead in jail — as depicted in Richter’s compellingly creepy series. Officially it was suicide, but the circumstances […]

Today’s influences hit all the right notes –  enthusiasm, harmony and acceptance, with a touch of magic. If you have something to launch, submit or attempt, today’s overall ease and opportunity can help. 

Mercury in Libra conjoins Jupiter, at 6 degrees. Jupiter expands Mercury’s wit and verbal grace, and Mercury puts Jupiter’s beliefs into words. Discussions will be open and hopeful. Excellent for introductions or any social function where it’s essential to be polite and positive. This aspect gives all one-on-one communication an optimistic spin, so if you’re trying to make amends or find something to talk about, Mercury/Jupiter can inject fresh perspective and ideas. 

Continuing the open-minded trend, the Libra Sun trines Pallas Rx, at 18 degrees Aquarius. Odd patterns are given a social outlet. Something that’s too revolutionary for polite company has a better chance of being accepted. And, the Moon conjoins Pallas Rx, making this part of a Waxing trine between the Sun and Moon. This part of the lunar cycle makes integration easier. Events ease forward and understanding grows. Libra and Aquarius blend group dynamics with one-on-one connections. 

Venus at 21 degrees Scorpio conjoins Juno and trines Chiron Rx in Pisces. Love and profound commitment merge, while Chiron adds a shot of empathy. Unconditional expressions of fidelity come from the acceptance of each other’s wounds. Pain is shared and makes the relationship stronger.  

Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune Rx in Pisces, at 9 degrees. This is an aspect of gentle manifestation, as Mars’ determined actions ground Neptune’s dreams. A vision can be solidified, as you work to integrate magic into the real world.

October 1st, 2016: Mercury in Virgo Opposite Chiron Rx, Venus in Scorpio Trine Neptune Rx

A day for compassionate release. 

Mercury in Virgo opposes Chiron Rx in Pisces, at 22 degrees. Looking too closely at the flaw, or for the flaw, won’t help. Sometimes it’s better to release what’s broken, rather than pinning it down with an observation. Staying silent and listening with compassionate empathy will be more helpful than offering solutions. 

Venus in Scorpio trines Neptune Rx in Pisces, at 9 degrees. Love is expressed through complete acceptance of the darkness. Embrace what makes you most uncomfortable and allow yourself to relax into the shadows. There are no limits here, and this is where you discover the jealousy, lack of control or “shameful” secrets, aren’t as bad as you thought. And maybe that relationship fear simply dissolves. This aspect is more about compassion than passion, but it can still be quite intense.

September 15th to 17th, 2016: Multi-Chiron

by  •

Mars in Sagittarius squares Chiron Rx on September 15th, at 22 degrees Pisces, while the Virgo Sun opposes Chiron. In a lead -up to tomorrow’s eclipse, restless actions or loss of temper can expose a sensitive spot. At the same time, the focus on flaws will be triggered. How can you make it better? You may not be able to. Some things cannot be perfectly healed. When Chiron’s involved, you’re going for awareness, acceptance and release. 

The Sun will also make a hard inconjunct to Uranus Rx (23 degrees Aries) – watch for increased anxiety due to an unexpected change in direction. You may have to adjust your focus or fix.  

Mars is building to an easy trine with Uranus Rx, exact on September 17th. This is when you exhale. After the initial stumble, you find your groove. This trine encourages initiative and freedom that won’t hurt anyone. However, September 17th also offers an inconjunct between Venus in Libra and Chiron Rx, so it won’t all be smooth sailing. Brief spurts of relationship/social insecurity can unbalance you. Do they like you? Is the other person happy?Pay attention to social cues, but don’t let this throw you off track . 

Different Facets of Chiron

Chiron Rx in Pisces has been hit by frequently with some concentrated hard aspects, since August 1st. Transiting planets in Leo triggered inconjuncts, confronting you with appreciation versus sacrifice. The Virgo stellium opposing Chiron is jabbing the flaw or weakness. Venus in Libra (and in October, the Sun and Mercury) confronts you with personal versus transpersonal. And Mars in Sag tests your faith as you take action.

When activating a planet, point or angle in your chart, transiting Chiron reveals a key area of guilt, weakness or sensitivity. You can choose to confront and come to terms with that wound. Heal it (although a scar will remain) by feeling it. The other transits that have been activating Chiron will give you the tools. Different facets of the wound will be revealed – a multi-dimensional healing opportunity. Soft aspects (sextiles and trines) are nice opportunities to sooth what hurts, but the hard aspects grab your attention. They hurt, but with Chiron it has to hurt before you can heal. 

If you have anything from 22 to 24 degrees of the Mutable signs, Chiron Rx has been triggering you.
