the Chiron-Neptune alignment in Aquarius, which forms several
conjunctions (joining together in unison) with the Sun, Moon, Mercury
and Venus (all personal planets impacting the various nuances of our
daily lives). The archetypal theme for Chiron is the wounded
healer. Author Adam Gainsburg describes the Chiron process
of initiation in his wonderful book called, Chiron, The Wisdom of a Deeply
Open Heart. The following is an excerpt from his
insightful book: "Chiron, in many of his myths, is an
initiator for humanity because the wound-into-medicine process doesn't intend
to do something about outer circumstances as its way of healing, but rather
to change the inner self to be more heartfully responsive to what does
externally manifest. Individuals who have succeeded in returning to this
world of linear time and ego reality from the other world of their deepest
fears and denials eventually realize that they are being drawn to share their
medicine with others. The depth of their sacrifice can be correlated to
the reach of their wisdom." On another note, we ended the month of January with
an exact square between Saturn and Pluto (in effect from September 2009
through August 2010). An exact alignment is a peak time when the
symbolism of the two planets in alignment are at their most potent
expression. Saturn-Pluto symbolizes not only tough economic challenges
and reform, personal trials and tribulations and personal sacrifices, but
literally, the process of destruction and rebuilding. The massive
and tragic earthquake in Mars, the archetypal God of war, continues its
retrograde cycle in Leo all month long (through March 10, 2010). How are you being
called upon to review your motives, desires, actions, willpower and
energy? Many of us have to take a step back to regroup and carefully
reflect on personal and professional challenges which ultimately are for our
highest good. Our priorities are shifting in regard to how
we apply our energy, time and willpower in our everyday
life. The planet Mars also rules over the military and police
force, suggesting that reform concerning violence, aggression and corruption
may be at the foreground during this long cycle of enforced, conscious self
control and discipline. During week one of February (exact 2/8 - 2/11),
Venus aligns with Chiron and Neptune in humanitarian oriented Aquarius,
suggesting love, helping, healing and wounding are all intertwined and
intensely activated in the collective. Venus-Neptune conjoins the
feminine principle of love and attraction with idealism and/or
spirituality. On a higher vibration, Venus-Neptune expresses love from
a place of grace, unconditional acceptance and inner beauty. This is an
outstanding time to engage in spiritual practice or healing modalities which
help us connect with out guides, angels or spiritual source. Mercury will next oppose retrograde Mars (exact on 2/12 - 2/13),
suggesting heightened temperament and aggressive communications
tactics. Beware of hypersensitivity as we are challenged to exert
greater self control and discipline as we are confronted with any anger or
hostility from others. It is best to not take insensitive remarks
seriously at this vulnerable time and understand that this "on the
edge" mood is temporary. There is A NEW MOON ON 2/13/10 AT 25 AQUARIUS AT 9:52 PM (EST) -
Themes of wounding, healing and compassion continue as they are connected to
this monthly cycle of new beginnings in alignment with both Chiron and
Neptune in Aquarius. Venus conjoins Jupiter in Pisces also during this
New Moon, linking love with faith and opportunity with new start
energies. This New Moon is a wonderful time to learn something new or
enlightening or reach out and join social or humanitarian groups in efforts
to make a significant difference. The Sun in Aquarius will next conjoin Neptune and
Chiron on 2/14, suggesting that Valentine's Day will evoke very deep and
heartfelt feelings from all kinds of relationships this month!
Again, we have another potent cosmic mix of idealism, compassion, intuition
and spirituality. The Sun represents the ego and February 14 marks the start of the Chinese New
Year and this New Year is the YEAR
OF THE TIGER! If you are a tiger in Chinese
astrology, you can expect an eventful year. I happen to be a Tiger (a
water tiger) and I am hoping that any and all changes will be welcomed during
this new year of possibilities. It certainly presages an auspicious
year. On
2/16 - 2/17, Venus forms an exact conjunction with Jupiter at 6
Pisces (exactly on my natal Chiron-Jupiter conjunction in Pisces).
Grace, beauty, love, expansion, deep feelings or expansion of hurt feelings
are all possible here. However, Jupiter offers the promise of prosperity
and reward in the feeling realm of Pisces. Pisces symbolizes the
arts, metaphysics, counseling and alternative healing modalities of all
kinds. Chiron and Neptune also form an exact conjunction on 2/17 at 26
Aquarius (peak time period), amplifying the wounding/healing nature of love
in all its forms and expressions! Mercury, the planet that rules over communications,
conjoins On
2/28, watch for THE FULL MOON AT 9 VIRGO AT 11:39 AM (EST).
The Sun conjoins Jupiter in Pisces today, bringing blessings for expansion,
growth or advancement during this illumination of all things
Virgo: organization, discernment, service, health and
purification. This is an excellent time period to engage in practices
which enhance our health such as detoxification programs of all kinds.
It's also an outstanding time to be of service in any capacity. We
may now harness the opportunity and reward of Jupiter with illumination of
our inner light (Sun). Venus aligns closely with Uranus in Pisces
during this Full Moon (exact 3/3), suggesting the potential for enhanced
creativity and artistic revelations. On a closing note, we can expect heightened
intuition, feelings and inspiration this month, as our ability to connect
with the intangible realms is at an all time high! Shimmering Blessings, Carol
