Mercury Stations Direct

“The Chiron configuration often describes what connects an individual with his or her inner suffering and also a route through this to healing.” Melanie Reinhart

Mercury stations direct Saturday at 13 degrees of Cancer in trine to Chiron the asteroid of the Wounded Healer. Heed any intuitive messages which emerge particularly those which offer a new slant on an old perspective. One of the Chandra symbols associated with the station is, “A boarded up doorway that leads to another realm.” Doors of perception are open now which we do ordinarily have access to. These perceptions can free us of customary thought patterns which have outlived their usefulness.

Uranus Stations Retrograde

“There is no such thing as ruining your life. Life’s a pretty resourceful thing, it turns out.” Sophie Kinsella, The Undomestic Goddess

Uranus stations retrograde today at 12 degrees of Aries. It is a good idea for two or three days to pay attention to realizations that arise. The Chandra symbol associated with today’s station is, “The wind blows white sheets hung out on a line to dry.” The meanings include, “A force which never lets up, yet conceals itself within the commonplace” and “the twists and turns of fate that keep on happening and demand a form of resiliency which then becomes a doorway into wide open spaces that no longer polarize and divide.” Uranus will be retrograde through Dec 17 and in general this is a good time to contemplate the right use of power, the role resiliency plays in our lives and how we might increase the courage and enthusiasm with which we approach beginnings.

Chandra Quotes from Ellias Lonsdale’s Inside Degrees.

Saturn/Neptune & Jupiter

“But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she’s the one I’ve watered. Since she’s the one I put under glass, since she’s the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since she’s the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). Since she’s the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all.” The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The Jupiter/Neptune/Saturn grand trine in effect now offers the opportunity to expand our dreams and visions and to bring them into reality. Saturn is the planet that makes this rare and magical planetary alignment concrete. And as with the Little Prince’s rose, ongoing commitment, care and nurturing will be required to bring plans to fruition.
