“On every level of human life, compassion is the key thing.” Dalai Lama
“Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Albert Einstein
The next few days and into early next week is a time frame when there can be significant realizations and breakthroughs as Chiron trines the Sun, the Sun squares Uranus and Venus retrograde backs to conjunct the Sun.
Chiron is the asteroid of the evolutionary process of wounding and healing that occurs over our lifetimes. Chiron is also associated with the fragmentation that traumatic experiences can cause. In Peruvian shamanism this fragmentation is described as a piece of the soul splitting off. The process of soul retrieval brings back the fragmented piece to restore wholeness.
Barbara Hand Clow, who wrote one of the first books about Chiron, refers to Chiron as a bridge- “the rainbow bridge” – between Saturn and Uranus- the old and the new or the traditional and the innovative.
Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, is also associated with awakening. It is a good time to be open to perceptions that offer opportunities for change and growth and for moving in a direction of increased compassion and tolerance for self and others.
A little patience and down time can go a long way – with Uranus so strong in the sky, it can be a nervy time.
The New Moon is Wednesday at 23 degrees of Leo.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Native Americans perform a ritual to the Sun.”
