Chiron in Pisces

“We have this way of talking, and we have another.
Apart from what we wish and what we fear may happen,
We are alive with other life, as clear stones
Take form in the mountain. “Rumi
 
We are living in transformative times –  with the Pluto/Uranus contact coming around again as it did in the Sixties. In many areas of life we see a push for a new evolutionary direction which faces significant backlash. Mistrust of the government, banking industries, religious institutions and large institutions in general is on the rise. Politics is fragmented.
Something new is trying to be born.
Times like these can stir up fear and as Robert Sardello wrote in his book, Freeing the Soul rology forecastfrom Fear, “fear causes fragmentation.”
Chiron the asteroid of the Wounded Healer is in Pisces now indicating a time when the healing of fragmentation can come through being in touch with the underlying interconnectedness of all things.
“Whispers and small laughter between leaves and hurrying
feet
Under sleep where all the waters meet.” TS Eliot

New Moon in Capricorn

“Use this new moon to clarify your priorities and goals. Love and respect your body’s needs. Listen to the yearnings of your soul.” Stephanie Austin
The New Moon at 19 Capricorn is at 8:30 pm EST Saturday January 9th. The sign of Capricorn governs mastery over the laws of the material plane. This Mercury retrograde period is a good time to rethink how your thoughts and beliefs are related to what you are trying to create in the world. Do you believe on a deep level that you can do it? Do you support yourself through moments of doubt and fear? Is there an undermining lack of clarity in your vision?
Much of the activity we are seeing in the outer world around us has a dismantling quality to it – the old ways are being dismantled to make way for the new – not an easy, comfortable or one step process. This dismantling influence is present in your inner world as well and with Uranus involved taking an innovative approach to what is possible is indicated. We all have seen how dramatically the world has changed with the advent of cyber technologies –  an area ruled by revolutionary, innovative and futuristic Uranus.
Venus is now making a benefical aspect to Uranus as she moves up to an exact trine in fire on January 12. The Sun is making a good aspect to Jupiter as well – making this a time when more guidance and vision is available about the way forward.
With Jupiter’s transit near the North Node it is a good time to let go of the pain of the path to open a more expansive path forward.
One of the Sabian symbols for the New Moon is, “The king of the fairies approaching his domain.”

Mercury Stations Retrograde

“Revelation: a window on the journey of the soul.” F Aster Barnwell
Mercury will station retrograde on January 5 at 1 degree of Aquarius. Mercury is moving up to a square with Mars now and will be exact on the day of the station – with Mars at 1 degree of Scorpio.
With the Mercury Mars square is in effect now it is  a good time for the next week or so –  to think things through before speaking or taking action. Avoid impulsive behavior as things can escalate into a dispute more easily and quickly.
The Mercury retrograde period will last through January 26 when it will station direct at 14 degrees of Capricorn.
The Sabian symbol for the Mercury station on the 5th is, ” An expected thunderstorm.” With the Uranus/Pluto square still very much in effect, it has been and continues to be a time when breakthroughs and revelations are likely if you are open. The revolutionary changes occurring in the outer world are present in out inner lives as well. The Sabian symbol for the degree of Mars at the time of the retrograde station is, “A broken bottle and spilled perfume.” It is a good time to sort through dreams gone awry and see if it is a good idea to give them a new form.
In general Mercury retrogrades provide a good time of respite to revisit, review and rethink. Mercury rules communications and it is not surprising during these time frames if there are snafus with communications and the tools of communication so do double check before assuming if something seems awry. It bodes well to have extra patience when traveling as delays can occur.
