Chiron in Pisces: Do You Want to Live Forever?

A year after Chiron’s discovery, the world was shocked by the mass suicide in Guyana with over 900 followers of Reverend Jim Jones. Chiron is associated with matters of death and the idea of the conscious acceptance of our mortality. Death and dying was once an intimate part of our existence. Now it is divorced from our lives while rampant and dysfunctional through entertainment and real life media coverage. Chiron in Pisces may have the role of accelerating the conscious acceptance and awareness of death and our mortality back into our lives. Like shamanic soul retrieval, this may be an important part of our collective healing.

Mercury Retrograde Strikes Again!

Mercury retrograde is only difficult when you try to continue moving forward when you should be going backwards! Miscommunications, fuzzy thinking and attention to detail, and computer / car breakdowns are the norm. But a good rule of thumb with any retrograde motion is to think of the “re” as “reexamine”, “redo”, “reflect” and “review”, “revisit”. That usually means having to sloooow dooown.

Eris: The New Addition to our Solar System

Back in July 29 of 2005 when apparently our solar system’s 10th planet was discovered by Michael Brown, I was excited and full of anticipation. Since reading Zecharia Sitchen I had been waiting for the day when our solar system would have 12 recognized planets. Well, I’ve had to soften my views a bit, but the discovery and official naming of the (now classified) dwarf planet to Eris (pronounced Eeris) is still full of promise.

Pluto is no longer a Planet!

Pluto’s status change is very interesting on a few levels. It has been known as a planet for 75 years, and although Percival Lowell had made a rough calculation for “planet X” he had not found it by his death in 1912. Clyde Tomgaugh continued the search and found it in 1930, the same year that Walt Disney’s Pluto came out.

Every 248 years, Pluto crosses the point of the Galactic Center, a rare and auspicious event.

Pluto Retrograde Reflections 

Pluto retrograde is a period that is more internal with the idea of integrating changes, towards the goal of accelerating evolutionary growth. We are living in special times, and so it seems to me that our higher self-agendas are very impatient to move forward on our unique and individual journeys. At the end of the day, it is this that gives us a chance collectively.

Are We Trapped in Duality?  Using the horoscope to integrate polarities.

It’s so easy to get caught in the collective mindset of this or that, black or white, us or them, good or evil. We live in a world torn apart by dualities. We also live in a world where it seems harder and harder to care.
