Chiron square the Moon Nodal Axis - Human Vulnerability

Our Human Wound

Chiron in Aries

Picture by Michael Silver at Love Has Won

The most important message Chiron in Aries brings in March is a lesson about human vulnerability in this third dimension of physicality (Saturn), and human lack of control over life. As incarnated beings in the flesh, we took the cross of limitation. We are not spirits freely roaming around anywhere, we are attached to matter and endure its rules (Saturn). Saturn glyph ♄, is the soul (curved leg) bending over under the weight of the 'cross'. It's not surprising that the physical life brings pain, illness, decay, and death. Saturn was anciently associated with the Grim Reaper as well. However, suffering, since it is our response to the pain, is a choice. 

Chiron square December Solar Eclipse

The first week of March, Chiron in Aries squares the December 25-26, 2019 Solar Eclipse at 4º 6' Capricorn. 

As I wrote in February, 4º Capricorn is also the degree of the previous Saturn Pluto conjunction January 4, 1518. Among other important events, that year Hernan Cortes headed to Mexico, where he so easily conquered a whole civilization of more than 30 million people, in just a few months! How? Two important allies: making alliance with Aztecs' enemies, and unknowingly bringing with them smallpox. To ensure victory, he burned the expedition ships! There was no return, it was a “win or die” determination.

Just that event opened the portal to the conquest of a whole New Continent, redistributing the powers of the time, and reconfiguring the geopolitical map of the whole World. Of course, the evolution was not done overnight, but in a really Capricornian (Saturnian) way, with ambition, persistence, patience (overtime), and much cruel bloodshed.

At the cosmological level, Nicolau Copernicus, opened Humanity's vision into the cosmos, telling us that the Earth was not the center of the Universe, but the Sun. Then, the process of accepting our cosmic abandonment (Chiron wound) started. Are we not the most important piece in the puzzle? Are we are just a speck in there, almost invisible?

The December Solar Eclipse opened a portal over that long gone past to see through the long way we've walked until our present time. 500 years later, January 12, 2020, Saturn Pluto historical conjunction in Capricorn, not only has threaten a global war, but brought a global illness that threatens our very human existence, but has also the potential to redistribute power. Covid19 impacts the elderly population at a higher percentage, and it's sparing the children and youth who are not much affected by it. The Sign of Capricorn, Saturn and Pluto are associated with the time (Chronos) old age, and the karmic past. 

As a New Era dawns, Humanity has to leave behind (Capricorn South Node of the Moon) its old systems, socio-political structures, traditional institutions and obsolete conditionings and conventions. Because Pluto is associated with transmutation and regeneration, its energy may very well play a role in the reincarnation of very old and experienced souls that are being born since 2008 when this planet entered Capricorn.  Having lived through the Ages, they bring with them the karmic accumulation of wisdom issued of their learned lessons. Look closer at these young children, they are teaching the adults!

Squaring the Solar Eclipse point, Chiron is in the company of Black Moon Lilith in Aries, the shadow yin (feminine) energy inside of us.

In her book, The Astrology of the Black Moon, A Guide to Healing the Shadow Side, Laura Walker states that this conjunction
"Often poses a lifetime of painful experiences. This aspect almost demands that we sacrifice ourselves for others, leading us to walk through life with a deep wound that restricts our personal growth." Death thoughts invade our psyche, awakening "the desire for release from worldly problems." 

She continues "we feel as if we have been wounded to the core. These are some of the most difficult transits. Deep sadness and depression are reported. [...] transits involving the Black Moon intensify feelings of pain that lead to not wanting to continue with life. Self-imposed sacrifices are made or activities are eliminated from outside forces. These transits, however, are designed to heal a wound (often from early childhood) and heal the primary fear. Circumstances come into place to push us to come to terms with our shadow side." 

Furthermore, she associates Lilith in Aries with the shadow of success. "The Black Moon in Aries manifests in the intense quest to be valued and feel worthy." 

As a collective, all the wounds we have inflicted upon ourselves, our human darkest crimes against our spiritual identity are in our face now. The challenge is to heal and Chiron in Aries is the key.

At a personal level, the events develop quickly with a cardinal square, which implies radical changes that will affect your future, your emotional security, comfort, thriving, and survival. My February's Chiron article addresses extensively the personal themes of Lilith and Chiron present conjunction.

Mars in Capricorn, ruler of Chiron in Aries

Mars in Capricorn is the most important actor during March, at least.  Mars will most probably instigate and stir up with impulse if not violence the forces that were awaken with the events that took place between the last two eclipses (threat of war, new illness, refugee crisis, etc). Mars is traditionally considered a 'malefic' influence bringing fevers, pests, heat, anger, and violence. Mars' proximity to Jupiter (traditional ruler of Pisces) increases his influence. Mars association with Chiron, as dispositor, represents well the present wounding effect of the Covid19.

Next New Moon March 23 meets Chiron in Aries and squares the Nodes of the Moon, making Humanity's wound sore. Chiron pokes emotions with his feelings of vulnerability and inadequacy, so we'll need to pamper ourselves a bit to feel better. The Moon in Aries adds a dose of assertiveness to your mood, you get things going, have the energy to get things done and determination to make decisions. 

Chiron square the Cancer Capricorn Nodal Axis

Humanity, as a species, is at a crossroads. During this period, we understand how past actions (karma) weighs on our fragility. We are learning from the past mistakes and facing the challenge of our survival understanding the vulnerability of our inherent identity. The psychic shadows are now in the open for us to reckon with, and we look for refuge and protection for our human condition.

Chiron square the Cancer Capricorn Nodal Axis calls out for examination of and reflection on the past actions, social conventions, traditions, socio political structures, conditionings, established systems of operation, institutional organizations (Capricorn). The review shows that they have thwarted the purpose of our life. Looking for power, prestige, domination, material possessions, and social status (Capricorn) has made us cold, alienated and cruel, deeply wounding our emotional nature (Cancer), that requires affection, nurturance, comfort, protection, safety, and the tender life support that only family and human contact can provide. 

The experiences that we perceive as negative, and sometimes catastrophic, are wake up calls and shakers that attempt to move us into balance and harmony with the Source of Life.

Saturn Direct and Conjunction with South Node of the Moon

Saturn Station

Saturn Station Direct takes a total of around two weeks, from September 11 to the 25. From Earth point of view, Saturn seems not to be moving in the sky, he’s getting ready to turn ‘Direct’. It means that our study time is over now, we finished reviewing the past, reflecting on the unfulfilled projects, we’re done reconsidering the structures of the area of life occupied by Capricorn. Are we ready to take the final exam?
Saturn has reached the 13º55′ ♑︎where he was on January 22, 2019. So we’ve revisited something that happened from January 22 to April 30th (20º ♑︎). We re-evaluated our responsibilities, and we faced the limitations or discipline necessary to solve the demands of social conventions, of psychological conditioning, or of personal commitments. We experienced frustration and fear in the process, because we couldn’t accomplish or couldn’t have what we wanted when we wanted. Saturn always makes us wait, work harder, and responsibly for the things that are precious to us.

If we submitted to his discipline and fulfilled all his requirements, now we are ready to start that ‘thing’, project or dream all over again with a better vision, better tools, and better consciousness. If we wanted to do something the same old, by repeating our ineffectual automatic pilot, now we know that Saturn wants us to reset the button and do it His way.

While Saturn transits those 7 degrees for the third time all over again until December 24th, we may see people, experience events and circumstances show up again, so we can apply a new approach to them. It’s the final test for the next 28.5 years. We have the chance to bring closure, new insights, and healing to old stuff. Then, once he passes beyond the 20º, we can start a fresh cycle with a new level of maturity, new structures, having a new sense of responsibility, and discipline.

Saturn Direct

Saturn starts his direct motion September 18. That day, the Moon in Taurus, where she is the happiest, trine Saturn! We have the emotional temperance, steadiness, comfortable strength and clarity to face the new stage in the process, to solve relationship discomforts, to make sound decisions, and work with integrity at the project at hand.

When Saturn, finally!, turns direct, he is at 13º 55′ ♑︎ and will go over those 7 degrees  once more until 20º ♑︎. From now on, we are reviewing those circumstances or situations for the third time, from a new perspective though, with a new approach, and definitive actions. Saturn will reach the 20º♑️mark on December 20, 2019, just a few days before the Solar Eclipse at 4º♑️. At the same time Pluto would have reached the haunting 22 º♑️on December 19, 2019. It's like getting all the cast on stage for the fateful January Conjunction. I wish I were able to keep a chronicle of world events that have happened when Saturn was at 20º♑︎, not only because he stepped and stopped on it two times, but because Pluto has gone over and stopped on that same degree four times. However, the Saturn Pluto conjunction at 22º only happens once; not that we need or want more than that, just saying.

For those of you who love data like me, or the reader who wants to dig out some news from the clouds that can exemplify what the theme is all about, here it is.

Pluto direct at 20º♑️from 2/6/18 to 3/19/18; and from 12/13/18 to 1/12/19;
Pluto retrograde at 20º♑️from 5/27/18 to 7/13/18;  and from 8/24/19 to 11/10/19.
AND, none of the eclipses have occurred at 22º♑️, but two were opposite in Cancer 20º: Solar Eclipse 7/13/2018 and Lunar Eclipse 1/10/2020.

Diving a little deeper, according to the Dwadashamshas, the Hindu method of Signs subdivision by 12, the 20º♑️blends with the Libra energy of learning to balance, equal give and take relationships, fairness and justice. If we consider this nuance linked to societal structures, conventions, and government institutions, we see how much humanity needs and could use right now a re- balance and re-distribution of power between the different sectors of society.

However, with the same method, the 22º♑️blends with the energy of Scorpio, which doesn’t look as good, considering that this Sign often represents crisis, trauma causing loss, destruction, and death, that what is hidden, occult, and the wealth of the underworld. The theme of the Saturn Pluto conjunction there, with this nuance, could mean in fact, a great upheaval to the economic resources of the world, and the restructuring and redistribution of the shared resources, all caused by a great loss or cataclysmic event.

In any case, many serious Astrologers don’t see that event as “sunshine, rainbows and daisies” as Patrick Watson ironically titled his report on the fateful conjunction. Looking back in History, Saturn and Pluto have never made good friendship. I also reviewed some unforgettable events linked to them in my Sat Sangat Astrology blog.

If you have planets, angles or other points at 20º or 22º, consider the unique privilege of having such a rare transit, that will certainly erase lifetimes of karma. Not without some level of pain, but the more we accept whatever comes, the better we will do during and after. So just relax, everything is out of control! (Ajahn Brahm)

Saturn Conjunct South Node of the Moon

While Saturn gains speed forward, the South Node of the Moon comes ‘retrograde’ towards him. For a couple of weeks they will have this ‘fateful’ meeting, that is very significant in preparation for the final meeting of Saturn with Pluto in January next year.

South Node of the Moon glyph

The conjunction will not be exact until the 28 of September, significantly, the day of the New Moon in Libra. However, Saturn is traveling direct getting faster every day, and the South Node is normally going ‘backwards’, so it looks like they are running into each other to embrace. The applying period is powerful. The past, or past lives stuff (South Node) is coming up to meet Karma (unconscious storage of actions and immemorial conditionings). The sense of time is distorted (Saturn is Chronos, the Lord of Time), we may have déjà-vu moments, run into people we’ve met before, visit situations and events that needed some sort of closure... or a new start. All those happen with the purpose to revisit them, bring them to our awareness with a new perspective, a new strategy, and give them closure.

A significant piece of scientific data that agrees with the process of dissolving structures, boundaries and restrictions, I found watching this NASA video where scientists have observed the ice melting of Saturn's rings. According to this, and on a side note, what a waste of the taxpayers' money in the Wall building!

To build new structures, we should be ready to drop old obsolete patterns of behavior, limiting unconscious conditionings, restrictions and social conventions that do not serve us any longer. We are shown (’in your face’) what we need to leave behind or end in order to ‘mature’, to reach for our higher self, to envision our true life purpose (read about the purpose of the North Node in Cancer for your own Sign).

It may mean that we face an important turning point in our life, where we are forced to close a chapter, sacrifice something we were attached (bound) to, give up a certain cherished goal and embrace freedom, the freedom to be ourselves.

For those who resist the change and Saturn’s discipline, it may be a bitter pill to swallow. It may even involve physical pain, especially in the skeletal system (Saturn rules the bones or ‘solid’ structure of the body). A bone injury can indicate that one is refusing to rebuild or re-pattern anew, and can force us to look at reality face-to-face, without sugar coating or any cherries on top. Fear and depression are also possible if we refuse to accept reality. So the best option is to surrender to it, accept the discipline and necessary sacrifice, and take the required responsibility. In addition, Saturn requires integrity!

I am curious to learn what this will give in the political arena, with certain politicians that are now in the hot seat. 😇 The US chart has this transit in the 2d house of own finances, resources, and economy. The head of the state has this transit over his 5th house of creative self expression, romantic relationships and children. Where does it fall on your personal chart?
