“Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere) arranging
a window, into which people look (while
people stare
arranging and changing and placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here) and
changing everything carefully.” E.E. Cummings
“Love is something else|
or so I thought
a garden which expands….” William Carlos Williams
Venus. the goddess of love and beauty, comes to a standstill on April 19 – the day of the Full Moon this month. Venus is a lover of harmony and some of the aspects at this time are feisty – with Mars – the god of action and desire forming a challenging square aspect to the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Libra.
One of the most notable alignments is the Sun at 23 degrees of Aries conjunct the Wounded Healer, Chiron. Chiron is an asteroid that governs the healing of fragmentation. In some shamanic traditions the belief is held that when trauma occurs, part of the soul fragments off. They can perform an ancient ritual which calls back the missing pieces of the soul.
Chiron is associated with the process of healing and growth in evolution over time. With his presence so strong at the time of the Full Moon, this can be a time when old worries or wounds resurface for another level of healing or the recognition of healing.It is a good time to stay in the present and be cognizant of your own process of evolution in this area.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is, ” A third wing on the left side of a butterfly.”
