Chiron in Aries and the Moon Phases

The Moon traveling around the Zodiac (around the Earth) in 28 days aspects Chiron in Aries almost constantly even if for a couple of hours. This represents a constant emotional trigger of the issue Chiron represents in Aries for each of us.

Every month, then, the Moon goes through all the phases in her relationship with Chiron, conflicts, tension, challenges, crises and surrender. We can use the energy of this cycle to deliberately develop our healing.

Conjunction

Our emotions are fully charged with Chiron's pain to the point that we can't deny it, we know exactly where it hurts. Our feelings about this vulnerability are raw, difficult to bare, we feel a victim of it. It seems we would never overcome the wound of being what it is -or who we are. Either we dwell on the suffering, or we look for a way out. We welcome new thoughts, envision a plan.

1st Quarter Square

During the period of the Moon transiting these 90º from Chiron, we started with a decisive impulse either to try to heal, or show our pain in actions. The intention becomes a goal. We look for a healing approach, or we complain in a 'poor me' mode every way we can. Around half way, there is a struggle, the healing  method presents a challenge, or we realize that the complaining doesn't take us anywhere.

Opposition

To reach the 180º, one encounters obstacles and needs to overcome them. We decide to take action, apply some remedy, or practice an appropriate healing technique or method that aligns with the previously set goal.  During this period, we may need to refine the process. Once the Moon opposes Chiron one sees the results of one's work.

Another 90º forward, we find ourselves in introspection, reassessing the process. We may feel grateful for the results. We have gained some revealing insights about how the Chiron wound works in our life. So, we are ready to let go of a piece of the pain and suffering. We assimilate the healing like fresh water in a hot day.

Balsamic and New Moon (again)

During the last 90º of the Moon's travel around the Earth, we are able to have a new perception of our Chironic vulnerability. Having worked for three weeks on the issue is like seeing things clearer through a new prescription of glasses. We understand ourselves better and surrender to what is. But, wait. Here it comes again, the Moon meets Chiron again and the emotions awake yet another face of the wound.

So the cycle starts all over again. Month to month, we can heal a bit at a time at an ever higher level of consciousness. In fact, this is the way we grow through all the planetary cycles. Every planet relates to another through the same cycle.
