Chiron in Aries and his Maverick Friend, or Foe?

Chiron semisextile Uranus

Uranus in Taurus just moved to the 4º, May 18, 2019, forming now a semisextile (inconjunct) with Chiron, right before Mars reaches that degree in a few days, and squares Chiron. Even though the semisextile is considered a minor aspect, is not less powerful, especially considering Uranus rebellious nature.

Chiron in the Aries house of the chart, gives us a hard time asserting ourselves.  For details on your own house, please refer to my previous posts scrolling down the blog. Or read the Part II article.
We feel inadequate, not good enough, and very vulnerable in the Aries part of our life. Our spiritual and emotional being is often at odds with our physical existence, and we don't know how to reconcile them.

Uranus in Taurus radical influence can add one more conflict to the context. Its innovation, its eagerness to apply technology and futuristic scientific features to our body highly disturbs our physical functioning. It creates uneasiness and even disease, because the body has a hard time adjusting. For example, the highly vibrationally charged environment with electromagnetic communication waves (wi-fi, 5G) and neutrinos from the Sun affect the nervous system in yet unknown ways. We may experience anxiety, insomnia, nervousness, sudden mood changes and other more physical symptoms as well. I am conducting a study of people's charts regarding this phenomenon to correlate symptoms with natal placements. If you like to participate, please contact me by email.

Personally, Uranus semisextile Chiron has an awkward influence, that in fact can help us adjust and compensate. Our Chironic wound is a perceived limitation on us, be it in our mind and communication (3d house), relationships (7th house), career and social status (10th house), etc. depending where Aries is in the Natal Chart. This constraint makes us frustrated, disempowered, even angry, and Uranus awakes a state of uneasiness, anxiety even, making the repression evident through resistance. The rebellion of Uranus cannot accept the wound, he has to divert the submerged inadequacy and vulnerability into another channel of manifestation. Thus, a very tangible and personal problem,  can be solved in a very impersonal, shocking and abstract way.

The Uranus rebellion acts up in weird ways because one feels unfit. There is a sense of ineptitude that make us afraid and frustrated for feeling something is 'not normal'. There is an urgency to solve the conflict, but we can't do it in a conventional way because our problem is not conventional. We may even have a hard time articulating or identifying what the problem is because we feel so crippled that it might be shameful. So Uranus makes an explosion, and force us to diverge the energy by creating a solution that doesn't have to deal with the reality of the problem, or deals with it indirectly, with a detached, aloof, and sterile approach. He may even resource to groups of people with similar issues in order to pour its inventive solution out of the person's system and 'dump' it onto them.

An authentic solution may not be easy now, but Uranus is just providing another way to avoid and escape the pain. However, holding back the reactions, observing, reflecting, and becoming aware are better tools to recognize where it hurts and discover an alternative healing instead of an explosive reaction to divert it somewhere else. Try to "understand through compassion", be kind with yourself, accept that you are 'good enough' just as you are, that perfection doesn't exist, and each person is the way he or she is because we have unique missions. Love is, in fact, the source of us all. Therefore, the way to heal is through loving ourselves and others, no matter how 'dysmorphic' we feel we are or how weird we feel others are. Feelings are just feelings, they come and go, but love is always.

Examples

If Chiron is transiting your 7th house, you feel you're not being able to establish an appropriate relationship, something is out of whack, not 'normal' in the way you relate to others. Then with Uranus in your 8th, you may be repressing your wounded feelings about relationships, and channeling that submerged energy to help others transform their own traumatic alliances (financial or sexual) using internet distant and impersonal communications, videos, email, blog articles, etc.

If Chiron is transiting your 3d house and Uranus your 4th you may be remodeling or upgrading your house, because you need to channel the repressed wound of not being able to create your own family or express your yearn for a biological  home.

Chironic health care

Understanding myself and others through Astrology, and especially the Chironic influence, has made me even more compassionate to people. One understands how complex and vulnerable a person is because of the past conditioning from the family lineage and from sociocultural structures. Next time you feel judgmental about someone's actions or lifestyle, think that what you see is just the tip of the iceberg! I encourage people to become compassionate, forgiving and tolerant, and dare to be vulnerable yourselves. Remember, there is much unnamed suffering deep inside a Soul; yes, where
Chiron is. May we all have plenty of TLC for self and others.

North Node in Cancer and the Urge for Spiritual Development

Monarch completing transmutation, comes out of its chrysalis Youtube video

The Urge for Spiritual Development

Neptune in Pisces has been trine to the Moon’s North Node for some time already, and is now at 18º. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus and much more! In Mythology, he is Poseidon, the God of the High Seas; in Astrology he is the ruler of Pisces, and the highest Water element. This means that Neptune gives us higher levels of intuition, imagination, sensitivity, unconditional love, inspiration and creativity, devotion and refinement. It drives our yearn for spirituality and the need to seek union with the divinity and all existence. At the same time, it could have a negative effect, especially if we are not in tune with those energies because of spiritual immaturity. Then with his psychic overload, we can enter ‘la la land’ of confusion, delusion, escapist behavior, like any kind of addictions. Figuratively, we can get lost in an ‘ocean’ of emotions and dreams.


Neptune is also presently square to Jupiter. Remember that both planets are rulers of Pisces, the most spiritual Sign of the Zodiac. Jupiter rules also Sagittarius, Natural Law, and the need to go beyond the analytical mind to find a higher understanding and grasp the ‘big picture’. Moreover, Jupiter magnifies whatever he touches. This planet, next in size after the Sun, is the biggest of the Solar System, 300 times the size of Earth. Can your regular mind grasp its power? Not only can Jupiter magnify the predisposition to spiritual interest, but can also make us fall into fanaticism, or extreme ideologies.


The Neptune Jupiter square is active all year long even though exact just three times. Their influence enhances the spiritual energy, and our need to go beyond the mundane and tangible level of life. We are seeking meaning and the truth that can only come through connecting with the invisible realm. Some feel inclined to use drugs that take them there, however with great confusion and delusions. Others will seek spiritual teachers, or develop psychic abilities that open up the spiritual vision. Others still will have vivid dreams, and astral travel during sleep or meditation that can show them the invisible reality. Others may experience a surge of inspiration for artistic endeavors, like enhanced ability for performing, dancing, photography or poetry.


The trine of Neptune with the North Node in Cancer makes the above mentioned energy even more urgent and compelling. In ancient oriental Astrology, the North Node is Rahu, the head of a Dragon who wanted to become god. As punishment, he was cut in half, and kept in his head his unquenchable thirst for achieving that goal. The drive for spiritual development is thus impelling and constraining. In Cancer, Rahu is also searching impulsively for emotional shelter in those spiritual foundations. These are times of social, political and general structural disintegration (Pluto transiting Capricorn), when the mundane chaos is so disorienting that people need to establish an emotional footing where they can ground themselves and find stability.


Considering that the South Node is with Saturn in Capricorn, we’ve been under pressure to mature and accept a new physical reality. Remember that Saturn ate his children, which mythologically symbolizes our ‘adulting’ process over time (Saturn was also Chronos, the God of Time). With the South Node we are leaving behind childish behavior, outmoded life structures (especially those marked by the zodiac house where Saturn is transiting in your own Chart), and even unconscious programming (also called Karma), and past life unfinished business. We are, again, compelled to embrace responsibility, discipline and reality. In fact, Saturn supports very gracefully the spiritual work Neptune is doing for us in Pisces, helping us materialize it and bring it into our daily reality (♄ ✽ ♆). 

Because we are developing spiritually at an accelerated rate, we easily change things that do not agree with our new condition. It’s probably a favorable time to become sober, to embark on an addiction rehab program, or simply change environments and people we frequent. The places where these planets fall in your Natal Chart are where this is a great time to have a major transformation that will help you live a more fulfilling life, become wiser and happier.

It’s up to us to wisely and effectively use those energies.

Full Moon in Scorpio 27º ♏︎- May 18, 2019

Full Moon in ♏︎ Scorpio 27º

Today the Moon in Scorpio is building energy to the Full Moon tomorrow. The news already started bringing up ‘secrets’, and appalling information that has a big emotional impact in the public. In personal lives, there may be sexual (Scorpio) secrets coming to light (Mercury hidden by the Sun can bring communication against your will or in an indirect manner), that may be taboo. Make sure you visit my Youtube channel to watch my video on the Full Moon in Scorpio. Especially if you are concerned about relationship issues, be it personal or professional, this Full Moon can bring dramatic developments.

We also had news about Alabama’s law makers against Abortion Rights. Here is where Venus was shaken by Uranus (the androgynous planetary energy that can bring sudden upheavals, in this case to women, represented by Venus). This is a challenge that is certainly triggering women’s deepest emotional fibers, and will surely instigate rebellion (Uranus). The Full Moon in Scorpio (the Sign that rules sexuality) is highlighting this issue.

Also Black Moon Lilith is transiting Pisces. Myth tells us that Lilith was Adam’s first wife who rebelled against his dominance. Black Moon Lilith in Pisces is “fear of vulnerability”, and represents the “shadow of trust”. Make sure your feminine side doesn’t hide or escape, but builds appropriate protection against the invaders of privacy, those who attack the tender most fiber of femininity. According to Laura Walker in her book Astrology of Black Moon Lilith, “Our shadow is healed when we trust that we are strong enough to withstand any offense” (pg.35).

Cycles in Astrology - Chiron, the cycles of healing

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Moon_phases_en.jpg

The Astrological Cycles

Astrology is based on the Geometry and Mathematics of the Universe. The Universe, like everything in existence, is put together in harmony by elements in orbit around other elements, from the atom to the galaxies. The cosmic bodies relate to each other in cycles marked by their orbits. In their relationships to each other they have phases. The most visible and common example for us is the Moon orbiting around the Earth in relationship to the Sun light. But the same happens to all of the cosmic bodies in relationship to other cosmic bodies, which creates cycles within cycles of energy exchange, exactly like atoms work to form molecules and molecules to make up substances. They work in harmony to give a certain kind of energy (contained in the substance).

Chiron Cycles of Healing

Have you ever wonder why most people get along better with grandparents than with parents? Astrology answers that question very precisely. Studying the cycles of Chiron, one can understand why. As I explained before in Part I, Where we come from, Chiron's ovoidal orbit is out of wack between Saturn's and Uranus'; sometimes touching the first one, and later touching and going beyond the second one.

This means that Chiron travels certain signs (i.e. Pisces and Aries for 8 years) for a long long time, and others (i.e. Libra for 1 year, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio and Sagittarius 2 years). Going forward from the Natal Chiron Placement, he would form the first quarter square very soon for one generation of people, and very late for the next generation. Keep in mind that Chiron takes ~50 years around the Sun, an average lifetime nowadays. The same is true for his opposition and second quarter square to his Natal placement. While your mother maybe had the first quarter square when she was a young child, maybe at 6 years old, you may have had it at 23 years old. However, your grandparents had it around the same age you had it. This is why, you synchronize better with them.

Considering that each of those geometrical formations, including Chiron Return to the Natal Placement at 51 years old, represents a critical icon in human psychological development through the energetic evolution of the Soul, one can easily relate its occurrence to very noticeable events in our life. Often times, they represent a time of a crisis in consciousness. When reading a client's chart, and looking back at those life times coinciding with Chiron first square, opposition, etc., the client remembers very vividly the life event, circumstances, or psychological shift that occurred. Usually, what happened at those times was pivotal in their personal evolution.  Thus, when the client starts tying up the four phases of Chiron in his or her life, he or she discovers the theme and the course of the healing process taking place in this lifetime. Also, as I explained in Part I as well, the position of Saturn and Uranus every time is critical in the way the process manifests.

The Moon Phases

 In order to better understand the importance of the cosmic bodies phases, let's take the example of the Moon. Each of us was born in a certain phase of the Moon. Some during New or Full Moon, others, during the First Quarter or Second Quarter Moon. This determines the emotional personality of the person and how she relates to the world. As the Chart progresses, and the Moon advances, one sees the person's emotional evolution very clearly! I am amazed (and hopefully you are too) at how Astrology shows so precisely who we are and how we evolve through life!

For example, comparing the different phases of the Moon to the process of a plant growth, the process starts with the seed underground in darkness (Balsamic Moon Phase, a few days right before the New Moon), it's the end of Winter, a cycle has ended, but Nature is getting ready for Spring. Quoting Kelly Surtees, people born "at the Balsamic Moon have entered a lifetime of closure and completion." They emotionally retreat to understand better their karmic past, they are emotional hermits in deep reflection. They form relationships to finish unfinished past life 'business' with others. Often times, they encounter people with whom they have short but very transformational relationships. The completions get this person ready to start anew in the next life. Those born at the New Moon are starters of a new cycle, they initiate a new emotional life. Thus, every person is born under a different emotional personality according to the Moon Phase they have in their Natal Chart. You can calculate your natal Moon Phase on this website.

Chiron Phases

Chiron phases to himself can be daunting. One of my clients fell in severe depression and anorexia at 13 years old and had to start psychiatric treatment; while another went on a spiritual quest at age 23 that took her to another country leaving behind everything, both of them during the first quarter square. The theme continues evolving and appears with a different face in the subsequent Chiron opposition, square and Return. Another client had a painful relationship trauma during his Chiron Return, that finally taught him what he had been avoiding to recognize for 50 years. 

We often go through life asleep and oblivious to what the problem really is, repeating self destructive behavior, and suffering without understanding why. Learning about the condition of your Natal Chiron, its placement by Sign, House and Aspects, and understanding the life events during those phases, can shed light into your psychological evolution, making you aware of what is deeply transforming in your Soul. As I always say, Awareness is the best tool we can use to heal. Sometimes, this new clear self-understanding can save us years of therapy where we spend time, money and energy talking aimlessly to a professional that may know a lot about general Psychology, but will never know us better than we can know ourselves if we work at it. 

Additionally, when we learn about Chiron in our Birth Chart and his evolution through the years, we can understand the best course of healing, personalized. Chiron teaches us about alternative methods that may work more efficiently with our individual Chiron issue. You may want to read more about Chiron's alternative healing methods in my post Chiron - The Healing Journey.

Chiron activation - Transits to Chiron in May, 2019

Mercury in Gemini 5º sextile Chiron 5º Aries on May 23

Mercury is at home in Gemini. He is now very active looking for all the information he can gather. He's in the neighborhood, in the city, meeting people, chatting, asking questions on the go to everybody. He has busy short trips to and fro. He's busy learning new skills via the internet and filing the data. His connection with Chiron is an auspicious one in the healing process.

When he sextile Chiron in Aries, we have the opportunity to name our wound, and if we are ready, maybe it's time to talk about it with someone who can contribute to our healing. This could be a painful or hurtful conversation that finally lets out that negative energy, resulting in a relief. We may have the opportunity to learn about our wound. Maybe we receive a message, or read an article, or come across something in the media that represents or expresses exactly our inadequate feelings regarding our Chiron journey in Aries.

Mercury in Gemini gives Chiron an opportunity to learn or teach about its wound. Mercury stimulates the mind giving us insights into the healing or helping us realize where the pain is. It can also contribute to alleviate the pain by discovering information related to alternative healing methods.

Mercury also represents siblings and neighbors. During this fast but positive connection to Chiron, they may find a way to heal themselves. It's definitely an opportunity to heal our relationships with any of them. Mercury represents also the learning of new skills. We may realize that there is a new skill available to learn that can heal our Aries wound.

It is a great time for counseling or group therapy where we can talk about our Chiron in Aries sorrows. Also Meditation on the Breath or with a Mantra are especially indicated for this impaired Mercurian energy.

Mars at 5º Cancer square Chiron 5º Aries on May 24.

Mars in Cancer may not be so comfy, he is all sensitive and too soft and mushy to be aggressive. He rather uses his energy to protect and defend our emotional core, or to safeguard the home and family. He may not show his impulsive, warrior-like quality, but for nurturing and providing the most private needs of our soul. We may feel that is difficult to assert or defend ourselves, or to obtain what we desire.

Presently, he's the ruler of Chiron in Aries, so, any aspects he makes to Chiron will be important and noticeable. He may awake awareness of our identity wound in the house Aries occupies in the Chart. We may attempt unsuccessfully to defend our right to be, or to protect and sooth that inner unease by acting out emotionally. Feeling guilty for our firm convictions and direct attitudes, can either frustrate us or awake a need to stand up for ourselves instead of avoiding confrontations.

We may have high sensitivity to hostility, anger and violence or its perception even if it is not there, and do something about it. Conversely, we may tend to repress anger and sexual urges with a fear of becoming too self assertive. Repressed negative feelings can give frustration and even upset the stomach. This is a dynamic provocative energy that impels us to action to right the wrongs of our lives.

In the world, we may see events where suffering people rebel against oppressors, injustice, or against the adversity in their lives. They may fight for their safety, survival, food, shelter. This may highlight the effect of some other planetary interactions that have been going on for a while now. 

The best way to use this conflictive energy between Mars and Chiron, would be finding ways of active healing, especially of emotional, intuitive, motherly kind. This is a great time for physical therapists and yoga teachers, especially if they combine physical activity with other emotional or spiritual techniques to channel this impaired Martian energy.

A meditation using hand movement to connect with the brain, like Kirtan Kriya, or Sat Kriya to raise energy towards the higher chakras, can open the energy flow and balance the nervous system command.


Sun 5º Gemini sextile Chiron May 26

The Sun in Gemini sheds light on the issues of Chiron. It opens up an opportunity to stand up to authorities of any kind in your life, be it father figures, bosses, teachers, heads of organizations, etc. It also helps us to be aware of our own authority in matters of Chiron in our Natal Chart. In what way are you unique? How comfortable are you with your shortcomings and imperfections? How comfortable are you with your qualities? What sensitivity is overwhelming to you regarding your self-expression? We can use the energy of this aspect to face those issues and do something about them.

A situation or event may arise that gives us the opportunity to heal the relationship with our own father, or with men in general. We could even tap into our self-healing power, that can rebalance the personal masculine (outgoing or yang) energy.

Sun sextile Chiron may give us an opportunity to heal our identity issues at the core. One way it can manifest is to meet a person who reflects to us our own trauma, feelings of inadequacy, or identity conflicts, bringing them up into conscious awareness for us to face them. If we pay attention, we realize that what we consider unacceptable or awkward in the other, is in fact, what we don't tolerate about ourselves. 

A good way to use this healing opportunity is to tap into the creative self-expression, and share our creations with others. Do you paint, do wood work, gardening, costume design, do you sculpt, sing, or knit? What is the talent that can best show who you are? It doesn't matter if you're not a professional at it, but it is a way to say who you are with qualities, skills, deficits, errors, and flaws. You have now an opportunity to accept yourself just as you are, love and enjoy being yourself.

Sebian Symbol Aries 5º

Dane Rudyard's Sebian Symbol for Aries 5º says

"Aries 5°: A triangle with wings. The capacity for self-transcending.

This is the symbol of the desire to reach a higher level of existence, of pure aspiration or devotion, of bhakti. What has emerged in the first phase of the process of differentiation is becoming aware of the possibility of further up-reachings. The principle of "levitation" is seen as one of the two essential factors in evolution. The emergent being glorifies and deifies it, but it is still only an ideal. At this stage, nevertheless, the whole being experiences a childlike longing for its eventual realization.

At this point the last and synthesizing stage of the first five-fold unit in the cyclic process is reached. A NEW DIMENSION of being is envisioned mobilizing creative endeavors."

If the reader is interested in reading the Sebian Symbol for the other 5º in Gemini and Cancer, they can be found in mindfire.ca. They are surprising to say the least.  

Numerology of 5  (All those planets are all at 5º)

Number 5 represents freedom, the search of happiness, creativity, independence of thought and action, desire to change in order to be happy. This symbolism agrees with Chiron in Aries, the Cardinal Sign that looks for independence of spirit and initiation, and promotes change and self-realization.

According to Angel Numbers, number 5 has "a message to do with your health and wellbeing. Your angels are helping you to make positive, healthy lifestyle choices and changes that will enhance and benefit you in many ways;  physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually."

Note: Be reminded that astrological events cannot be taken in isolation. Current transits may or may  not make contact with your natal or progressed chart's planets, therefore, their energy may not be felt or significant for everyone. Transits should also be considered in the context of the whole chart.
