Chiron Direct 13 Pisces November 23
Chicago 5:45pm
Edinburgh 11:45pm
November 24
Wellington 12:45pm
Pisces Chiron stations Direct in square to Sagittarius Venus, in sextile to Capricorn Pluto, quincunx Aries Uranus. Balance is sought, the opportunity to cultivate harmony via transformative relationship work is favored. Houses Sagittarius, Pisces, Aries feel the stress & make adjustments.
This Venus operates healing through Sagittarius realms of higher learning, independent thinking, philosophy and adventures far and wide. Note I am not only referring to physical travel, for Sagittarius Venus takes creative mental vacations as well.
Be Visionary.
We address values, compare and contrast healing methods/situations. What energies help/hinder, heal/wound – and by that, yes I mean people. Venus sees sides, Pisces Chiron has none, save One. That which is formless and that which is tangible begin to shift into balance with Chiron moving direct. We have to relate to others, how best to do so when the energies clash ? Venus says find the middle, the navel, the love/peace.
We feel/see from where the change needs to come, adaptation/improvisation are working inventive solutions (Chiron quincunx Uranus). Sacrifice of one thing will lead to the growth we need elsewhere – aka healing. Transformation of health/character will lead to healthy regeneration.
Chiron stationing quincunx Aries Uranus – we KNOW what needs healing, where the wound is buried. This transit encourages us to find the courage to address it – head on.
Make it so.
peace

The Herb known as the Albahaca, Njjlika, Witches Herb, or more commonly as Basil- is Masculine, Mars, Fire.
Gods: Shango, Vishnu
Godesses: Ochun, Yemaya
Medicinal uses are: Anodyne, astringent, diuretic, nervine. *
Hung from the door it is a blessing said to calm the heart. It promotes both love and prosperity. Rubbing the leaves on the body before love-making can heighten desire, and help ensure fidelity.
Use it in a hot bath, simmer on the stove or add to a humidifier to promote similar results. (It is a heady scent, so if you are smell sensitive, use sparingly.) It is best used in its natural state, rather than oil.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where is Virgo in your chart ? Virgos rule the bowels, sorting the good from the gunk in the body.
It is the sign of harvest and this Virgo got a table full of thai/basil out of my garden today, so not much time here, I have to clean it !
Neptune is conjunct Chiron above us, and the Doctor is in.
Anyone else positively elated there is a time lady ?! …and that River totally kicks it ! Well, it’s about time ! lol. Brilliant *
Look to the house of Virgo for where you are detailed and organized. Planets placed there are likely to be where you show precision and dedication to the task, and to others. It is where you have strengths in problem-solving and anticipating the needs of others. It is your discerning eye at work (Virgo is the 6th house of work and service).
Look to Chiron (I am leaning towards Chiron as Virgo ruler, myself) to see where you help others through your passion for health and knowledge. Chiron was a teacher, philosopher, healer and herbalist, who through trying to heal his own wound, learned much through study and helped others learn and heal in the process.
Mine is in Pisces/3rd, mental and spiritual health is my work.

Was it the Neptune incense that brought the dreams…? Perhaps…or maybe was it the eclipses and endings they bring that are circling me like vultures ? Three hours of sleep, waking three times and three times falling back asleep to the same nightmare. Such is growth…tilling the same ground another year for a different harvest. (Threes are Mercurial, exploratory, growing. )
Neptune (rules dreams, hiding) is my most highly aspected planet and has all my difficulties growing through it, including some lovely fixed squares to the secretive 8th. Toss in a 29 degree Sun (endings- each house has 30 degrees) conjunct Uranus (astrology), Pluto (struggle) ; all three in opposition to Chiron (the healer) in Pisces -and you have an astrologer reluctant to reveal anything personal, regardless of the fact it would be the most helpful in lighting the spiritual path for others. Hang tight…I’m workin’ on it…follow the breadcrumbs into the labyrinth.
While reading “Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art of Remembering Everything” by Joshua Foer, I read something that reminded me of fixed squares. It is mentioned that “memories are nomadic until revisited and reinforced thereby making them impervious to erasure. It’s thought that sleep plays a critical role in this process of consolidating our memories and drawing meaning out of them. Rats that have spent an hour running around a track apparently run through the same track in their sleep, and exhibit the same patterns of neural firings with their eyes closed as when they were learning the mazes in the first place. It has been suggested that the reason our own dreams so often feel like a surreal recombination of elements plucked from real-life is that they are just the by-product of experiences slowly hardening into long-term memories.”
Fixed squares in a chart are the maps leading to the deeply ingrained patterns made over many lifetimes; places where self-will is strong. (Fixed signs are: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.) Fixed squares indicate a need to bend the will; give as well as take; a need to find balance between the two.
Look in the chart for help from any trines, sextiles or otherwise easier aspects for a more favorable expression of the squared planet. (In my case, Neptune sextiles my stellium and Mercury sextiles my 8th. So I’m usually happy to talk about spirituality, metaphysics, music and art) In the case of a chart without sextiles, trines or easier aspects to the squared planets – concentrate on vibrating to the highest most positive expression of the planets involved.
For example; Saturn can be restrictive and pessimistic or concentrating and disciplined, and Venus can be vain or loving.

Myth of Sisyphus: http://www.mythweb.com/encyc/entries/sisyphus.html
This week I grabbed the memoir of Ashley Judd from the library shelf, “All That Is Bitter & Sweet”. Only having read as far as the forward and prologue, I knew I had to look up her natal chart. Her compassion for others and her desire to end suffering washing over me with every word I read.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is an excerpt from the prologue: [She writes of a Forcibly Displaced Persons Camp in the Democratic Republic of the Congo September, 2010.] “Once again, I am staggered and humbled by the human capacity for suffering, resilience, and compassion that I experience in this hellhole, and all the other hellholes I have visited in the past seven years. I thank Muntuzu Angel for our time together. She whispers, while I am still holding her child, that I am a woman just like her, that I am no different. We both cry, something transcendent passing between us. I tell her that I will never forget her, and I will tell her story.” Population Services International: http://www.psi.org/

Ok girl, wow ! ~Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, North Node and Chiron all in Aries ! She’s a bit of a little firecracker, no wonder she was a cheerleader for the Wildcats, still shows up for games and sits with the students- lotsa school spirit & pride ! What I really love to see is her obvious thirst for knowledge with her Sun (spirit), Mercury (mind), and Mars (action), in the 9th of higher learning. Sun, Mercury and Saturn are all trine Jupiter (expansion) from Leo (ruler of the heart) to the 9th of university studies (‘Leo’ school ‘pride’). Venus (love) is conjunct Saturn (concentration) in the 8th house of transformation via deep research.
So there is an obvious love of study and expanding the horizons as well as travel (9th is the natural house of Sagittarius-loves new frontiers).
What gives her soul (Moon) happiness is not the Hollyweird ego (square Sun) but instead, helping others (Aquarius is the humanitarian; Moon the public). Ashley has Aquarius Moon trine Uranus (reformers) and Pluto (universal welfare) in the sign of Virgo (those who serve others) in the 2nd house of self-worth. These reformers (Uranus and Pluto) are also trine Mars (where she places her energy) at the midheaven which is her peak of achievements. With Chiron in the 8th house, she heals her personal wound by bringing help to the unseen victims of abuse worldwide. The need to mother the world is also seen by Cancer on the 11th house of social consciousness.
Ashley is a life path 11, a master number indicating a person who is dedicated to a life of service to others, which is also seen by her most aspected planets, Jupiter (generosity) and Neptune (healing, compassion).
