In the morning, the Aries moon aligns with Chiron, triggering insecurities. Concerns regarding perceived personal inadequacies hijack our thinking in the early part of the day. On a mental level, we might know that an old fear can’t hurt us anymore. But that doesn’t make navigating the emotion it conjures any less difficult. At this time, we must accept a situation for what it was, while understanding that our future can look different. The choice is ours to make. Continuing to revisit, rehash, and dissect the initial dilemma is preventing the wound from closing. If we want to heal, we must quit thinking that this pain is “who we are.” By letting go of this assumption, we start a ripple effect of healing within our communities.
Mid-afternoon, Venus in Virgo sextiles Ceres in Scorpio, causing us to feel secure in our relationships! This aspect provides a helpful check on the moon-Chiron conjunction. Anxieties are dispelled, and our friends and loved ones affirm that we are neither “too much” nor “not enough,” but perfect just the way we are. Gestures of appreciation may range from acts of service to keeping something in confidence. Trust is affirmed and bonds fortified. Reciprocal behavior confirms mutual respect. However, a union that begins under this influence can be quite intense! We might unconsciously mother one another, which can be transformative, but also problematic if taken to extremes. We should strive to build relationships that are supportive without becoming invasive, as strong boundaries are essential to the success of any union.
