Chiron Re-Enters Pisces Until 2018

Think healing, feel healing and be healed. Hold on to and experience the excitement and opportunities of Chiron re-entering Pisces this week on Tuesday, and remaining active in the sign of the fishes for about 7 years. Not only does this dwarf planet, which is sometimes referred to as an asteriod, relate to the wounded healer and the quest for the truth, it carriers an especially potent influence in Pisces because of its current positive aspects to Pluto, Vesta and the nodes of the Moon. These aspects will allow us to reach into our inner world and to ask where do we need healing. Is it that unresolved spiritual or psychological conflict, or is it our mother or feminine issues that need closer examination? Are we projecting a false sense of self onto others and not even realizing that we are doing it?

Since Chiron has an affinity for both Saturn and Uranus astrologically and mythologically, this inner investigation may be more difficult to unlock or may take us on an unexpected journey we never could have imagined. Maybe we thought these various concerns were settled; if that is the case, take the time to see how you feel about these areas now. Isn't there some slight psychological backsliding we need to cop to, or is it time to do some inner housecleaning about our beliefs and behaviors which no longer fit? Examine what you are attracting in others and see if these same issues apply to your life. It's often those closest to us, and even those we have just met who are mirrors of what we are doing, and thus are harbingers of our next lessons. For example, when you go to visit your mother is she still able to make you feel as if you can't do anything right? Or do you get angry if someone is trying to tell you what to do? The repetitive patterns of behavior that we can't seem to shake are surfacing again. Time once more to work to overcome them. Pluto and the nodes of the Moon have a positive effect on Chiron right now, and so we are shown the depths to which we will have to go in order to uproot our greater illusions and the stuck places that plague us. They offer us a treasure trove of transformation. Remember that the universe is always with you and seems to never give you more than you can handle.

Historically, Chiron concerns the alternative healing arts and since it was discovered in 1977, the fields of herbalism, homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy, color healing, and the like have grown exponentially. According to mythology, Chiron was also a dominant factor in the beginnings of modern medicine. Chiron in Pisces will teach us the spiritual connection in healing. If the spirit is content, then the body will be at peace. The body-mind connection will play a huge role in healing, and this understanding might even infiltrate the allopathic medical community. The healing of causes rather than just symptoms may become paramount.

Work with the energy of the Ten of Swords, which is the card of melodrama. When we fall into an old pattern, we can choose how to react. Create a new paradigm for an old situation.

Mercury's Difficulties with Pluto

Mercury conflicts with Pluto possibly bringing major communication glitches, inconsistencies, setbacks, delays, and most likely power struggles in your relationships, your healing work, jobs or with your artistic adventures and creations. This planetary alignment begins today, continues through next week, and it will certainly foster uneasy times with trying to be heard or in getting your point across. Loved ones and bosses may bring up touchy subjects which require you to be more patient than usual, so by all means listen carefully and allow your emotions to complement what you are communicating. You may experience more heated discussions, differing opinions or all out verbal fights. Use forethought and clear judgment in picking what you want to talk about, delaying that touchy situation to resolve later; you may find a better outcome toward the end of next week. Snags or delays may occur in getting done what you want; again, those projects which rely mainly on conversation or the written word, require extra time and reasoning. Remember that a touch of honey-love attracts the best in everyone and brings greater joy and compassion to all.

Early next week, Saturn joins this arrangement and can offer greater stability when seeking clarity and understanding, and will bring more peaceful outcomes to your concerns involving others. Workplace problems can find resolutions now, because of Saturn's influence. Don't wait for your colleagues or boss to step in for you, but take the initiative yourself and follow your heart to find the wisdom and guidance which leads to success. All situations are for your greatest good, even if that is not immediately apparent. Trust that what you say and do will guide you where you need to be.

Meditate upon the tarot's Six of Swords for a deeper understanding of this energy. In this card, even though we're in the middle of an unsteady flow, we are still moving into calmer waters and away from the white water current.

Blessings, Tom
