The Forgotten Key

    As Mercury is closing his cycle with Chiron and forms the last sextile at 8º ♒️ 39', the thought or communication that probably comes to mind is about reconciliation, first with ourselves, then with the 'other'. In Aquarius, Mercury is dispassionate, wants to make connections, talk to people he may not even know, but exchanging at the same level, accepting everyone as a part of the big community.  

    Recalling the Mercury Chiron conjunction on 9 April 2021 @ 9º ♈️ 30', I remember the hurting and hurtful Martian themes in the US news. There were headlines about "children learning pains" due to the pandemic; about important male figures 'falling' due to their sexual misconduct; about the USA President announcing "initial steps to address gun violence"; the Police Surgeon announcing "that George Floyd died of asphyxia" (Mercury rules the lungs/breathing); and many more. 

    I think it's been a long year since, and it's time to take this opportunity to recognize and speak about all the pains related to Chiron in Aries. He represents the wounded warrior, but also the 'wounded' male identity, and his misrepresented sexual masculine with its distorted behaviors. Chiron in Aries also represents other identity wounds, the ones originated in xenophobia toward cultural, religious, gender, ethnicity differences. Chiron in Aries (ruled by Mars) brings to the surface our vulnerable human condition and the recognition of our life fragility brought by the global pandemic. 

    Today's aspect can open the door to collectively think, converse, read, write and brainstorm about how we can reconcile our spiritual being with this peregrine Earthly condition, that subject us to so much suffering. It could be a good time to discuss how to be nicer, kinder to each other considering that we are all one wounded heart, one wounded body, one wounded psyche, and oftentimes, one wounded spirit. If we want to preserve and protect life on Earth, today there is an opportunity to use the forgotten KEY to healing.  Let Mercury and Chiron teach us how to love and make peace with ourselves (first), and with others.
