An afflicted Venus - Gate into September

An afflicted Venus

Statue of Aphrodite

Jupiter and Neptune

This last week of August, Venus indulges herself as she opposes Jupiter and trine Neptune. 

Desires are expanded without limits, and overindulgence in love, expenses, or social life may backfire. 

You feel that no pleasure is enough; you may ‘drown’ in food, drink, sex, beauty, music, art, anything that makes you relax, and even provides an escape. You may even ditch work, spiritual practice, and morality for a moment’s enjoyment, that will not really satisfy you in the end. 

Be careful spending more than you can afford because you may regret it later. Usually, what may happen is that another person encourages you to go overboard, so it’s important to exercise self-control and moderation if you want to come out of this one ‘uninjured’.

As August draws to a close, Venus is entering a very compromised position in the zodiac. She enters into a Grand Cardinal Square configuration. 

Pluto

Not only does Venus opposes Pluto, but they do it EXACTLY at 22º ♑️46’, the exact degree and minute of the Saturn Pluto conjunction of January 12, 2020. Simply put, Venus and Pluto reactivate the issues that trigger the catastrophic developments of 2020.

Venus in Cancer is ruled by the Moon in Aquarius. This means that the values to hold are the people’s interest in the safety, protection, and security of families. Venus also represents resources, supplies, money, that we need and desire to sustain life (Taurus). She is also the love, self-esteem, and attraction we need to establish and maintain relationships (Libra), personal and social.

Changes issued of powerful forces of transmutation in society, government, institutions, and from those who own the world resources, operate a profound demolition and restructure of the social paradigm. Let’s not forget that Uranus in Taurus (ruled by Venus) is changing values regarding Nature, ecology, the environment, resources, food supply at the same time that changes personal and relationship values.

In opposition to Pluto, Venus is subject to power struggles from the powers that be, from another powerful person, entity or establishment that forces a profound transformation.

This may mean that food supply chains are disrupted due to the structural dismantling. It could mean that natural or human made atomic, radiation, chemical pollution damages the resources we need to survive.
In our present context, it could mean that the virus, since it was, after all, THE main issue related to the Saturn Pluto Conjunction of January 12, 2020, threatens to contaminate people massively, affecting the very fabric of society (Moon in Aquarius).

It could also represent a threat to the real estate value or the ability of the common folks to have a roof over their head.

They will certainly trigger financial upheavals related to taxes, insurance, stock market, and to the money available to the common people.

At a personal level, couples may suffer sexual difficulties, due to manipulation, jealousy, overpowering, submission by force, and violence.

There could be a tendency to trying to change others by relentless force, lack of kindness and consideration for their desires.

TimePassages Chart by Astrograph

September 2, 2020, Venus opposite Saturn, applying to the waxing square to Mars.

This square is the crisis in action point, where action is unavoidable. Certain situation or event requires you to do something related to your desires, finances, resources, love, values.

The opposition to Saturn, indicates restructuring of finances, probable limited access to money, frustration in social life because of isolation, profound depression, delays in business, trade, work, economy. Time to tighten the belt. Resources may be scarce.

In relationships, you may feel unlovable, or unloved, rejected. You may experience separation from the object of your love or have a hard time satisfying your desires. Oppositions in general, are notices when other people, another person, or outside circumstances are against you. Someone may not give you what you want, or may ask you to fulfill your responsibility before giving you what you want. You may have low confidence in relationships and in social life, and feel isolated, lonely.

Juno & Haumea in Libra

Haumea is a newly discovered (Dec. 2004) dwarf planet in the farthest side of the Solar System after Neptune. About the size of Pluto, it's not less significant. It was name out of Haumea is the Hawaiian goddess of fertility and childbirth. 

Haumea

“She gave birth to many children, and to all the island chiefs. She is a great creation Goddess and the ancestor of all indigenous Hawaiians who are descendants of the ancient civilization of Mu. Haumea is a crone archetype and is the elder in a trinity of Hawaiian Goddesses that includes Hina and Pele. Haumea had the power to change her form as her nature was constantly renewing; although she grew old, she was continually transformed into a young woman, representing the cycles of women’s lives.

Each of her children emerged from a different part of her body, symbolizing a profoundly nourishing source of life. Haumea also acts as a divine midwife to human mothers and taught women the mysteries of childbirth. Author Martha Beckworth, whose collection resides in a Hawaiian museum, suggests that the name Haumea actually comes from Hanaumea, which means ‘sacred birth’.

Haumea is thought to inhabit the Makalei tree, a Tree of Life on the island of Oahu, whose mystical branches and deep roots yield infinite amounts of food. Like a Cornucopia, the tree symbolically provides many staples to the Hawaiian people, such as coconut, bamboo, taro root, breadfruit and sugar cane. When the Goddess shakes a sacred branch of the miraculous Makalei tree over water, she attracts abundant fish.”

Venus square Haumea and the asteroid Juno indicate that the nature of our unbridled desires, our dealing with and wasting of the Earth resources are not respecting the capacity of Nature to regenerate, and perpetuate life on Earth. Our extreme consumerist attitude does not even consider the human ability to survive.

The Mars opposition to Juno and Haumea in Libra relates to conflicts in relationships, especially love relationships, but also conflict is social life, meaning relationships of any kind. The energy of Mars is lack of kindness, even gruesome aggressiveness, inconsideration, selfishness. May also indicate financial problems (Libra). In addition, it relates to lack of consideration and reverence for Nature, childbirth, the fertility and the bounty of the Earth, aggressive attitude against any kind of fairness, justice, logic, and measure in the use of Mother Earth’s resources.

Juno, Jupiter's Wife

Mars energy reflects a strong will in the search for independence, at ALL costs, without any sensitivity for others. His assertive actions are against all attempts of cooperation. Partnerships may suffer a power struggle for domination, and subjugation.

Mars is now so strong and close to Earth that his energy is incendiary. Difficult to contain raging fires exacerbate the violence against Mother Earth. Please be careful and conscious of your actions.

On their Capricorn side, the triple conjunction pushes for strong repressive measures, that block and controls any intention of soothing the situation with commitment, alliances, equanimity or fairness (Juno). The Establishment, the Old Patriarchal Paradigm grasps as much power and resources as possible in great detriment of the Earth ability to recover and regenerate (Haumea). For more on this, I refer you to my Mars in Aries Catalyst of Change article.

Mars is energy and Jupiter intensifies it. They create a great surge of energy that you probably already have been feeling, increase strength, powerful initiative, impulsive actions bigger than life. Ruthless assertion in all your activities. An internal fire difficult to contain, so use moderation and self-control in order to use this excess of energy.

Be careful with heavy machinery, cutting tools, bladed weapons or knives. Also careful exercising too much too forcefully, because you may injure yourself. For people who are normally very passive, this surge of energy can be productive because it motivates them to work harder and longer. Depending on where it falls in your chart, your body may generate excessive heat, or fevers, flare ups of muscle aches.

You feel courageous in certain area of your life. If you’re faced with animosity, arguments, or enemies, you may become aggressive, and even resource to violence. Be careful also, and adopt a defensive attitude instead to avoid accidents and fights.

This strong energy is optimistic and enthusiastic and may find you burning the candle at both ends, exhausting your physical capacity. Use it in moderation in order to endure to the end.

In the mundane context, the expansive use of controlling institutional structures may clash with individual interests and the urge to defend independence.

Now, the energy is amped up a notch or two. Mars is the personal will power and Pluto is the creative/destructive power of the Universe. The aggressive Mars conjunct Eris, the Goddess of Discord, is manipulated, coerced, forcibly pushed to action by Pluto's powerful influence. At this time, the anger only sees black and white, all or nothing, life and death. People can easily get entangled into power struggles, be either a subject to domination, fall victims of institutional control, and authoritarian powers, or be the perpetrators of relentless violence or heinous crimes. There is no middle way possible with Pluto. Politics can become really nasty, and even extremely polarized, because Pluto operates on extremes. 

Pluto is also associated with abuse of power, in Capricorn, coming from government. In the mundane context, there could be terrorist attacks, violent crimes, or forceful use of military powers to repress people. Mars is aggression, and Pluto, the power to subdue it. Pluto archetype is also associated with atomic power, radioactive substances, radiation, and chemicals capable of powerful reactions. Let's hope that all atomic energy generators in the world are under proper supervision, and in good working order.

In your personal life, be aware of this incendiary force inside yourself in order to put it to constructive and productive activities, like working with heavy machinery, power tools, making transformative remodeling work, building new with old material, or using compost to enrich your garden. If you’re out and about, and not abiding by what is expected, by rules and regulations, or protesting to defend your right to exist and your independence, you may have an encounter with authority figures that will not be benevolent.

These two planets couldn't be more different. If Mars is impulsive energy, Saturn is passive and steady. If Mars is aggression, Saturn is resistance. If Mars is the initiator, Saturn maintains the status quo and the traditional ways of doing things. If Mars is desire, Saturn is restriction and delays in obtaining what is desired. If Mars is independent and spontaneous, Saturn is circumscription, circumspection, calculation and strategy. Mars gets easily angry and lets the fumes out, but Saturn gets depressed and hold grudges. Mars is energy, Saturn is inertia.

After the previous turmoil, now, come the restrictions. You have a hard time using the surging energy of Mars, your initiative is thwarted, your desires stifled. An authority figure, the societal structures, a political institution, your boss or your father will impose order, control and suppress your action. Your energy can be pent up in frustration. All activities have to wait for more favorable times, patience is required. But with the stimulus of Mars in Aries blocked by the intensity of Saturn stationary (Sep 29), it may mean that you’re boiling inside.

Once again, may I suggest the spiritual practices, meditation and probably a strong fitness program where you can spend all that energy in strenuous physical exercise, if at all possible. However, be careful exercising as well, because this kind of energy may result in bone fractures. You definitely will face delays in obtaining what you desire.

In the mundane context, this may mean that government structures, institutions, and authorities compel to order, repress uprisings, contain rebellious protests, arrest aggressive people. Any use of violence may be matched with extreme repression.

What does it all mean in the end?

Overall, Mars in Aries reclaims the autonomy of existence, a new birth, the right to be, and the spirit of independence. Mars in Aries is the fight against the domination and the power of Capricornian forces of society to subjugate, be it political, institutional, economic or government authorities.

During the last couple of years, with the Nodal Axis in Cancer and Capricorn, humanity has tried to re-balance the yin and yang energies. Women have been reclaiming their equal participation in the building of societal structures, institutional structures and in the decision making. The process was the checks and balances of a reality run only by the male archetype. The yin energy has reemerged reclaiming the lost emotional security (Cancer, home) as opposed to the material security (Capricorn, outside world).
However, some people are still attached with iron grip to the old ways of a yang predominant system, not able to recognize its natural decay. The next six months will make us realize that we have reached the point of no return. Never again will humanity go back to the old world order, because it has decomposed, rotten away and has given birth to a New Era. Humanity is now entering the Aquarian Age.

What does it mean for your Rising Sign?

Generally speaking, Mars square those three planets in Capricorn will be felt as challenging. However, you have to consider those planets' relationships in your birth chart to know exactly how the aspect will show up for you. Even though, it could be nice for you to have a hint about this influence, the following are not 'cookie cutter' predictions, but they are just some possibilities of the way it could manifest. If it doesn't resonate, it's not because the descriptions are wrong, but because each individual Birth Chart is as unique as the individual, and the whole chart should be considered before making any predictions. If you need to know more specific details, make sure you order a personal reading.

Aries ♈️
You will feel a surge of energy yourself, and may experience clashes with authorities in your job, with public service agents, law enforcement officers in public places or with father figures. Moderate your assertion and impetus. Avoid becoming angry or aggressive at all cost, because your partner and your family members or home life will suffer the consequences.

Libra ♎️
Your partner or other people you relate to may become very assertive, even aggressive affecting you directly and your public reputation. Your family members will be the ones blocking them in order to protect you. Avoid provoking your partner's anger because it may also affect your career and public image. 

Cancer ♋️

Your partner or other people you relate to may first quarrel with you, later try to restrict your movements, or may want to control you in some way. You may make a public decision about the relationship, like taking legal action, denounce them publicly, tell any authority figure, your boss or father about the aggression you're suffering. This ordeal will certainly affect you directly and your home life. Otherwise, you may spend a lot of energy in your career, and your partner may be adamant about not doing so and attempt to restrict your activity, generating your frustration and affecting your emotional wellbeing. 

Capricorn ♑️

There may be a lot of activity at home, repair work, or the need to move houses, and you will be the one managing and controlling all the developments, and taking the responsibility for your family and your partner. Conversely, you may be overwhelmed by the stress your family gives you, and try to control the home life in order to fulfill your career responsibilities. Whatever the developments are, your family life, your career and your partner will be affected.

Taurus ♉️
Your subconscious mind is fighting in your dreams against your old belief paradigm. Your old vision of the world has crumbled down and during your time of relaxation, you're trying to make sense of your internal battles. You may actively pursue spiritual practices or charitable work that contradicts the official belief system, and what the consensus spiritual teachers have taught you. Your battles take place in the most secret place of your being.

Scorpio ♏️

Conflicts in your daily life style, at your workplace, your employees (if any), and even your pets may be the 'warriors' that will challenge your mind processes, or your traditional ideas or way of thinking at this time. If you fight with your subordinates or with service personnel, you may have a mental breakdown. So, moderate your impulses. However, the transformation of your mindset, may help you initiate and work hard at eliminating open enemies, be it people or health related self sabotaging habits.

Leo ♌️
Mars is actively revolutionizing your belief system. You are convinced that you got the truth and are ready to fight to defend your vision of the world. You feel the impulse to run free now, but you're up against your open enemies, be it people who work for you, a work system or workplace that is being phased-out because it's a thing of the past. But also, what you have learned now is certainly contrary to your long standing stubborn health habits and the ways you take care of your body. You will be up against any daily habit or schedule you have that are dysfunctional and outdated. These habits too have to go. 

Aquarius ♒️
Mars will loosen your tongue. You'll be more confident conveying what you have to say. Your communications will be assertive, decisive, cutting with your truth. Your mind is fighting your longtime held karmic baggage. As you close up a 29 year cycle with Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn in your 12th house, you're getting ready to start anew, and your mind may be kicking and screaming about saying those goodbyes. You may have nightmares of demolitions and total dismantling of your old life. Hopefully, your way of thinking is now rejuvenated and energized to allow you making plans for the future, that starts just around the corner, in December. Holding on to the past will not make you any good. Move on!

Gemini ♊️
Mars is inspiring you to create new goals and dreams for the future, however, these are no longer compatible with the business associations you had until now. You may get to work hard to pay debts, or close a mortgage, or bank accounts. All the energetic merges you had have gone under, and you want to get free from them. The groups, alliances, and those friends with whom you share common interests are fighting against a deep transformative process, that will totally regenerate their nature. Apply your creative powers and you will succeed.

Sagittarius ♐️
Are your children already fighting for your money? Does your lover keep asking for your energy contribution or your resources? It's time to give them their independence so they become autonomous. They most probably already started fighting against the reality that your money chest is becoming depleted. You may be the one realizing where exactly are your finances, and activate your creative juices in order to generate your future income.

Virgo ♍️
Mars may create a significant upheaval, a crisis that will bring about a regeneration of sorts in the area of creativity. Your children or lover may undergo a profound transformation that may translate into some financial crisis for you, or requiring you to invest your resources or share your finances with them. Your intimate life may fire up, but your lover may not be available, or for some reason you are not able to be together.

Pisces ♓️
You have great activity involving your family, especially your family possessions, and own resources, either earning or spending them because of your children's or lover's demands. They may block your ability to dispose of your money, or compromise your earnings in some way. Try to find a balance between resources and the demands of children or of your lover. You will try to control your rowdy children, but use moderation in all your decisions.

Chiron in the Relationships Axis - September 2019

September 16 

Mercury ♎️ opposite Chiron ♈︎

There might be painful news in our relationships. Any kind of communication is hard to accept, digest and assimilate. We feel highly sensitive to the messages we receive from another, and others in general. A friend, partner, or sibling may give us bad news, or have a hurtful truth about who they are and what they think. Conversely, they can express that they hurt because of the way we behave towards them.  We may have difficulty saying what hurts inside, or about the relationship. Repressed deprecating thinking may slip out of our mouth hurting another person's feelings. One may feel rejected by the partner because of our lifestyle, appearance, the way we present ourselves, or because who we are. Another person acts as a mirror reflecting to us our own vulnerabilities, feelings of not being 'good enough', or confronting the limiting beliefs we have about our identity. 

Personally, we may read or receive a message expressing exactly the pain of our existence. We feel that our communication is insufficient, illogical, inadequate, hurtful, fragmented, inappropriate, faulty, lacking cohesiveness. Something in the environment makes us realize the need to heal our flawed thought patterns, or teaches us to accept ourselves just as we are.  We may come to understand that we are in a learning journey to know ourselves, and today we gather one more piece of the puzzle we are.  

One can read or be told a healing story. Tricksters, shamans, and storytellers have the talent to take us on a healing journey. I think of the memorable movie Life is Beautiful, where a loving father risks his own life making up a story that may save his son's life. 

Because Chiron bridges our physical reality with the spiritual reality, planetary oppositions to Chiron tend to elevate the nature of their archetype to the higher octave. With Mercury, the mind will take the liberating, maverick and innovative signature of Uranus. We may feel the urge to become aware of our true individuality. Sudden insights come in flashes of thought, intuitively awakening the consciousness, and breaking openings into the unconscious. Alternative, original, even versatile healing modalities can help us break thinking patterns. Uranus preferred healing modality is vibration, and sound waves. That's why the most appropriate healing method to use for this aspect is meditation, especially Vipassana, Mantra, Breathwalk, and Mindful meditation techniques. 

September 17 

Venus ♎️ opposite Chiron ♈︎

 Chiron's archetype has the energy to perfect love. When opposing, Venus and Chiron have the power to heal each other by hurting each other. 

In relationships, Venus opposing Chiron, brings a karmic partner, a soul mate, a person capable of softly touching the deep wound of our existence. We are magnetically drawn to each other with a strong pull that seems unavoidable.  Often times the unconscious attraction is based on a past life relationship experience, or similar childhood wounding. Even if it's hurtful, we feel an inexplicable need to be together. We may unintentionally hurt each other in the process.  However this happens because, at the present time, the other person is the medicine one needs to heal the love wound. We are helping each other heal.

In the mirror of Venus, Chiron has his sense of inadequacy awaken. He feels rejected, unwanted, not good enough. In front of her beauty, his nakedness feels ugly. In Aries, Chiron's defects or wound may be on his face, head, any part of his physical body, or related to his ability to initiate action, or perform sexually. He feels vulnerable and believes that he can never possibly measure up to be with her.  He strives for his wholeness. This process asks us to transcend the realm of form and material reality to understand the we are spiritual beings making this physical experiment. 

Through us, the Infinite Creative Consciousness realizes itself. As Carl Sagan said, "We are the way for the Cosmos to know itself" 

Venus sees his wound open and forces Chiron to see perfection in his imperfection, completeness in his incompleteness, competence in his incompetence. Having gone through the purifying fire of the Sun, Venus doesn't focus so much on her physical desires. She understands love at a higher level. Here is when her higher octave comes into play, and we raise the love to the vibration of Neptune. She pays more attention and appreciates Chiron's qualities, skills, abilities, traits of character more than his physical appearance. Our love becomes considerate, compassionate, unconditional.  

If we have this opposition in a Synastry, or between two people, this is the most sublime love story we can ever experience. Venus offers us the promise of spiritual completion, first with a seemingly cruel separation, only to later bathe us with the purest love balsam there is: acceptance of our imperfection, integration of the wound, and finally, deliverance from its suffering. Venus opposite Chiron is the burning that ends up cauterizing the wound, so we learn to love ourselves. 

As I Began to Love Myself (video)

Charlie Chaplin

As I began to love myself 

I found that anguish and emotional suffering 

are only warning signs that I was living 

against my own truth. 

Today, I know, this is Authenticity.

As I began to love myself 

I understood how much it can offend somebody 

if I try to force my desires on this person, 

even though I knew the time was not right 

and the person was not ready for it, 

and even though this person was me. 

Today I call this Respect.

As I began to love myself 

I stopped craving for a different life, 

and I could see that everything 

that surrounded me 

was inviting me to grow. 

Today I call this Maturity.

As I began to love myself 

I understood that at any circumstance, 

I am in the right place at the right time, 

and everything happens at the exactly right moment. 

So I could be calm. 

Today I call this Self-Confidence.

As I began to love myself 

I quit stealing my own time, 

and I stopped designing huge projects 

for the future. 

Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, 

things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, 

and I do them in my own way 

and in my own rhythm. 

Today I call this Simplicity.

As I began to love myself 

I freed myself of anything 

that is no good for my health – 

food, people, things, situations, 

and everything that drew me down 

and away from myself. 

At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. 

Today I know it is Love of Oneself.

As I began to love myself 

I quit trying to always be right, 

and ever since 

I was wrong less of the time. 

Today I discovered that is Modesty.

As I began to love myself 

I refused to go on living in the past 

and worrying about the future. 

Now, I only live for the moment, 

where everything is happening. 

Today I live each day, 

day by day, 

and I call it Fulfillment.

As I began to love myself 

I recognized 

that my mind can disturb me 

and it can make me sick. 

But as I connected it to my heart, 

my mind became a valuable ally. 

Today I call this connection Wisdom of the Heart.

We no longer need to fear arguments, 

confrontations or any kind of problems 

with ourselves or others. 

Even stars collide, 

and out of their crashing, new worlds are born. 

Today I know: This is Life!

September 26 
Sun ♎️ opposite Chiron ♈︎

According to the myth, Apollo adopted the rejected, abandoned, orphaned Chiron, and took him under his 'wing' of protection. It was thanks to the Sun God, then, that Chiron first realized that he could gather all the pieces of his wounded life, put them together and make something significant with it. It was thanks to the guidance of the Sun God, that he was able to re-create himself, gain optimism and find joy in life. 

When Chiron was first in front of the Sun God, Apollo, it was probably the moment when he saw so clearly his flaws, and his wound became so obvious. However, it was the benevolence of the adopted father, Apollo, that awoke in him the desire and the energy to put those weaknesses, insecurities and pains to good use. 

The protection, teachings, and leadership of the Sun's Higher Power instilled in Chiron's soul new energy to overcome the confrontation with his dismal reality. He was taught specific skills that helped him gain strength, wisdom, dexterity, and the necessary knowledge to understand himself, find meaning and purpose in his wounds.  He discovered and studied different ways to develop his creative healing force. 

Apollo enlightened Chiron, he taught him all he knew about diseases, healing, music, poetry, songs, dance, archery, and much more! Thanks to the Sun God, Chiron became an  authority in the field of Healing.  As such, he was a Shaman, Alchemist, Astrologer, Healer, Wiseman, Moral Guide and Leader. Apollo trusted his disciple with higher responsibilities when he assigned him the education of Asclepius, who later became the God of Medicine, Healing, Rejuvenation and the Doctors. 

Personally, the Sun may bring another person to our life who can show us how to use our flaws, and weakness to our advantage. That person may be a mentor to help us see our imperfect life not only under a more positive light, but also as the very instrument of our leadership. That person may do it even inadvertently, but we will immediately know and receive the message that will transform our life completely, and finally heal our wound. 

Much love and blessings! Sat Nam.

New Moon in Leo with a Love shake! 

July 31- August 1

There is a new start in the realm of creativity with the sacred fire of the Leo season. Love, optimism, generosity, joy, and play are now revived. With Venus nearby in square to Uranus, expect to attract and be drawn to the most unusual, unexpected, and shocking things, situations, likes, people and places. You want to break free from the old boring and known. Some uncertainty and anxiety is expected as we don’t know what is coming or how far this can go. Whatever you get these days, in a form of relationships, financial decisions or purchases, probably won’t last long unless there was some previous background work, planning, or aim. It’s just the time to enjoy the moment. On the other hand, Uranus' shake can help trigger a long waited decision after so much restriction and rumination (Saturn, Pluto and South Node in Capricorn, Mercury and four more retrograde planets).

Grand Fire Trine

You should pay attention to the loose grand fire trine of the New Moon with Jupiter and Chiron. From Sagittarius, Jupiter is promising too much with a pompous optimism; from Aries, Chiron doesn’t feel too confident. In fact, this New Moon can boost our assertiveness, give us some degree of confidence and forgiveness of our shortcomings and faults. Just tell Chiron not to be a party pooper. Read more about what Chiron is doing in August. Adding Neptune square Jupiter to the concoction, one may have the tendency to drift away to dreamy land on the fiery flying carpet of indulgence.

Mercury Turns Direct

On the reasonable side, Mercury is turning direct today, but in Cancer, the mind is still emotionally driven and kind of slow before the Messenger of the Gods gains some speed forward. The mind shows us images and metaphors, we talk in symbols and synthesize ideas into images. Mercury in Cancer also allows us to listen to and use our intuition. Hummh… going back to the inspiration and intuition of Neptune? Well, after all, if we consider Neptune trine to the North Node of the Moon, that’s what we are supposed to do! I agree, it’s confusing! So keep these keywords : confusion and indulgence.

Make this day the best you can! Sat Nam

Chiron in Aries in the 10th House

(maybe for Cancer Rising Sign)

The assertiveness of the Aries 10th house is tainted with Chiron's awkwardness in public, in public functions. Feeling unsatisfied about one's social status, function or performance, one looks for recognition. One is always going the extra mile, because it seems that one's efforts are never enough, never correct, never well accepted. One can feel that doesn't fit or perform well in the social arena, in the chosen career, and in general with authority figures. It's the 'I am a loser' subconscious mentality. Bosses can put increasing demands on us, making us feel that we are not doing the job correctly or that we are outsiders.

One can feel unworthy of the social role, or of career promotions or opportunities. Bosses may overlook us for a promotion because of our insecurity feelings. Then, we may either overreact or under react. We may work harder in order to prove our capacity. The same way, exaggerated or unskilled efforts can be made in the public activities, in an attempt to be identified with a better performance, but ending up with a pitiful showoff. Overreaction (impulsivity, aggressiveness) will show as a strive for acceptance and acknowledgment. Under reaction (even passive aggression) will, on the contrary, show as resignation to the belief that we are not worthy of the public recognition, so we stop fighting thinking that is useless and attracting the commiseration of others. With Chiron transiting Aries in this area, we are and we manifest what we deeply believe we are in an impulsive reactive manner.

Another common reaction for this and all the Chiron placements and transits, is the tendency to teach others how to overcome the very same problems we are facing, avoiding thus the need to look our own self and heal from the inside out. We are especially skilled at attracting our same kind of Chiron, so we can look at ourselves in their mirror. But our efforts to help or fix others -who often are not requesting our help- is just another way to escape our own wound.

The healing journey here is to learn about who you really are in the public eye, 'know thyself' based on facts, objectively, and take the appropriate action accordingly. We can change our feelings and beliefs with conscious mental work in the polarity of the fourth house, so we can anchor the emotional footing there. There is certainly a process of observing what works and what doesn't, but not of blame for what we are not. Setting reasonable goals and controlling the Arian impulsiveness will be helpful. There is a need to approach our public identity in a detached manner in order to feel satisfied.

Chiron in Aries in the 4th House

(maybe for Capricorn Rising)

In the 4th house Chiron struggles with the identity related to emotional security, as in family and nurturing themes. Issues may arise related to the less present parental figure, be it mother or father, the one that was less present or absent. Fears may appear about not feeling able to provide emotional comfort for ourselves or others. With Aries in the 4th house we are naturally either more assertive, proactive, impulsive or even aggressive. So with Chiron visiting here, our actions may be more impulsive or reactive.

Chiron transiting the fourth house will arise painful feelings of being an outcast. Our emotions can be so much out of the norm, that may trigger isolating behaviors or projections onto our closest relationships. As always with Chiron, the reaction can be closing up completely and ignore overbearing feelings, or develop oversensitivity. One may also attract people who need nurturing, emotional soothing and security, even someone who needs 'mothering', because this is the way we 'escape' our own wound.

Even one's relationship to the mother or mother figures in one's life may be affected by distorted feelings. During the next seven years, pay attention to how you relate to your  own mother, or a mother to be, or another mother figure. There is probably time to learn something new about your identification with this archetype, your own personal family history,  and even past life family traumas. You may have abnormal sensitivity, too much or too little, because of an actual or perceived hurt. These relationships can be a great source of discovery about your deepest conflictive feelings related to home, family and safety issues.

Another common reaction for this and all the Chiron placements and transits, is the tendency to teach others how to overcome the very same problems we are facing, avoiding thus the need to look our own self and heal from the inside out. We are especially skilled at attracting our same kind of Chiron, so we can look at ourselves in their mirror. But our efforts to help others -who often are not requesting our help- is just another way to escape our own wound.

In general, you will find yourself a lot more sensitive, even intuitive, with what you would perceive as an inadequate, exaggerated, excruciating empathy, in a manner that will make you either shut down or overreact to situations, especially with women who are mothers. You may tend to avoid or ignore relationships, situations and events that arouse those feelings.

As always, healing comes when we observe and learn to become aware of the internal process we experience. Read my previous posts about transiting Chiron in Aries in other houses.
