First of all, I want to mention that a few beginning paragraphs will be more on symbolic and esoteric side, I had already previously started to share with you that part and I will still continue to do so. Right after I’m diving in fully into the interpretation of the event itself. Enjoy :)

Partial Moon eclipse in Pisces at 4°50’

This particular degree will be reactivated again a few times next year, first by Mercury, then the Sun and Venus. We had already experienced this activation back in 2024, precisely on September 16th also by the Moon itself, and then three times in 2025, which is January 7th by Venus, followed by Mercury on February 16th, shortly after the Sun on February 22nd and finally this year on March 8th (international women’s Day :)) by Mars.

First of all what I see is again a series of symbolic patterns. Rounding up, We have the Moon and the Sun at 5° (Pisces & Virgo) followed by Mercury and Uranus at 6° (Virgo & Gemini) and finally, Pluto and Neptune at 4° (Aquarius & Aries).

So let’s start with numbers. It is four, five and six. The science of number is the foundation of practical esoterism, as it is at the foundation of every department of human knowledge. As I had mentioned before, in my articles, the numerals from 0 to 9 represent successive stages in every cycle of evolution, whether on the ground scale of the cosmos, or on the smaller scale of personal unfoldment. Below I provide for you esoterically meaning of the following numbers.

4 is ORDER, system, regulation, management, supervision, control, authority, command, and dominance. It is a building block so to speak. Esoterically speaking, it is the classifying activity of self-consciousness, which is the reason.

5 is MEDIATION (this idea is suggested by the fact that 5 is the middle term in the series of signs from 1 to 9), it is adaptation, intervention, adjustment, middle ground, accommodation and reconciliation. Esoterically speaking, it is the result of the classifying activities symbolized by 4. The end result is intuition.

6 is RECIPROCATION, interchange, correlation, response, coordination and cooperation, it is also correspondence, harmony, symmetry, and beauty.

Much needed to add here that number 4, which is the number of ORDER is associated with Jupiter, because Jupiter is the personification of Dominion, he being the ruler of the gods. And of course, the astrological symbol for Jupiter resembles 4.

5, is the number of Man and also the number of Mars, the planet of action and self-consciousness. And finally, number 6, represent spiral movement condensing energy at a center, the movement which condenses a nebula into a sun, is the number attributed to the Sun. (Again, I want you to keep in mind that information that I’m sharing with you here belongs to an esoteric school)

These three in Qabalistic Tree of Life make up the central emotional triangle, balancing expansive love/mercy/kindness, restrictive power/strength/severity and inner harmony/beauty of the heart. Jupiter resides currently and expanding ourselves and our heart in the sign of Leo, Mars’s reactive nature becomes necessary more soft in Cancer and the Sun is currently lighting up our daily life and bringing much needed grounding vitality to our personal self-improvement and well-being with practical organization and attention to the details amidst this Fire&Air Dance.

Now let’s look at the Sabian Symbolism of those active degrees.

4° of Aries (where Neptune currently resides) two lovers strolling through a secluded walk

4° of Aquarius (Pluto) a Hindu healer

5° of Virgo (the Sun) a man dreaming of fairies

5° of Pisces (the Moon) a church bazaar

6° of Virgo (Mercury) a merry-go-round

6° of Gemini (Uranus) drilling for oil

When putting it all together, I believe we can see that this partial eclipse event is yet another pivotal moment for all of us collectively and individually. Even if you don’t see or feel some grandiose and obvious shifts in your own life, within yourself or collective, it is happening. But I do believe we do see that in one way or another, even if the picture is not clear yet. Each event is bringing another missing piece to the puzzle. Learn how to swim in this dark waters, and without external control of circumstances. Like I always say, we cannot truly control anything that is outside of us. We can only manage ourselves. And then it reflects in our outside world. As above, so below. As within, so without. As the Universe, so the Soul. The 4-5° point generally speaking has been activated already by major events even this year alone. So I truly believe as I mentioned before we are building something new yet not really new. In a sense, we are coming back to our roots. But in order for that to happen, some radical shake ups and awakening are needed. We need to clear the dust from ourselves and the world around us, including the one we leave it all collectively. In number 4 we aspire to build in there to dream. Then comes number 5 which, as I mentioned earlier is immediate or a metaphorical anchor between these dreams/actions and the spiral vortex of number 6, which then will birth something beautiful, bring balance and harmony. So double check everything, because the vortex will pull everything inside of it and start to cook things. By double checking everything I do not mean obsessive control of things, but rather soft but attentive reflection, as it also symbolized by the retrograde planets. What are you taking with you into this faithful journey into to the unknown yet something that you dreamed of? This can be literal things or your own attributes within yourself. Perhaps you want to leave some behavioral patterns that did not serve you right and it proved itself many times already. You can also think of people, because like I mentioned to you in the beginning and throughout of the year many times this is our closing chapter and the beginning of a new one. So people that are out will be out for good.

This is not the time, I believe, to be surrounded by many people, and to be in the epicenter of things. Because remember and keep in mind, that each and everyone of us has its own energetic field, as well as consciousness and by being around many people, you are observing theirs too. So it’s not really good if you want to reflect upon things. Also, good to mention, use your own head. Especially it goes if you are someone who is relying on other people too much for advice or direction. Because you will be disappointed once again. This is going to continue happening to you until you will take the rulership of the life in your own hands. Be the captain of your ship. This whole astrological scenery will be more beneficial if you can do things by yourself, spend some time in a solitude, without being affected by anything or anyone. The retrograde planets are also pointing towards that as well as the whole elemental map that I will explain in the next paragraph. Grounding is much needed. It does not mean that you cannot communicate or be around people at all. This is extreme. But put your priorities in order and again have faith in yourself, in God and in life. Dare to dream and dare to believe.

Now, elementally, speaking, we have mainly Fire and Air Elements, which reminds me of the facts that I did call this year in many articles a year of Fire & Air Dance 💃:) with only, I would say, two planets in Earth (the Sun & Mercury, because Chiron is just an asteroid plus in Rx motion at 0° of Taurus) and fleeting Moon and debilitated Mars in emotional Cancer in Water element, things are moving fast and can be very reactive. But the paradox is that we have outer slower moving planets like Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, as well as wounded healer Chiron in retrograde motion. So things can be very fleeting, but have a lot of consequences.

The transformation on each level is happening, collectively and individually. As I keep saying this year, you need to slow down and pay attention to everything. And first of all and more importantly to yourself, your thoughts, how you react, how you process things and figure out the reason behind everything in your own reactions and/or behavior. If you’re moving consciously, with awareness, with thorough understanding , you will come out on the top of the mountain. Otherwise you’re my face unwanted consequences, and eventually again setbacks. There is not enough Earth element to ground, even though the Mercury is in its own sign of Virgo. We have too much and very strong Fire and Air which can blow things out of proportion, so you will be gone with the wind ;) 💨 here I want to mention, this time can be also very accident prone. So be aware of your surroundings, too much Air element can make you miss things quite literally and bring some unfortunate consequences with it. I’m saying this because just in these past few days, I’ve seen people falling, getting hit by something accidentally (for example, one woman almost felt when the bus that she was on moved unexpectedly but very harshly, which led to the injury of her hip; i’ve been told that another woman that I do not know personally have collapsed and died unexpectedly when she went out on her smoke break, right in front of everyone, heart attack; we obviously also see what is happening on the world stage with nature like fires, tornadoes, water breaks, earthquakes etc and  society as whole). Going back to individual stage, Mars is not helping here by being in emotional Waters of Cancer, that takes things close to the heart and can be very impressionable.

Consequently, it can add to all that mix with a reactive drama, tears, lethargy and inability to make a decisive moves. This whole event carries overall an Aries signature, if we break it down on elemental and modality components. So if you proceed actually, like I said, with conscious awareness and use all that energy towards something productive, you can benefit from it and build your chosen route further. Do not forget to take care of yourself and be attentive to your own needs and health. I had weren’t in the beginning of the year, that we will see an increasing collapse in individual well-being after years, neglecting our body, spirit and mind. If you had your readings with me, we had already discussed the areas of your body that needs more attention. I’m sad to inform that many still had ignored warnings and now are truly breaking apart. But perhaps it was a necessary force for them, finally starting to pay attention to themselves and take care of themselves. Remember, health is the real wealth. No amount of money will buy you that. But if you are healthy, you have a capacity for everything. Healthy body, healthy spirit, healthy mind. Try to find a necessary balance in everything as much as it’s possible. Virgo– spices axis, traditionally, rules, 6th and 12th houses, conscious versus unconscious, physical life, and health versus spiritual life and health. The balance need to be found there. Now the newly entered nodal axis in Leo-Aquarius points us at the direction of self versus others, the love that you give versus the love that you receive, personal aspirations versus collective contributions. The balance needs to be found there too. And it is extremely important, especially in our day and age, as many of us are completely lost within this axis. Some over giving, others over receiving and so on and this is just a basic example that I had provided with this sentence. Check your own birth chart or get a reading and find what this all means for you. Do not forget that you are the main hero/heroine in your story.

If we look at the planets that I had mentioned, we can also understand that this is the time for slow, methodical, conscious, aware building and further beating your chosen path. If you won’t waste your energy on unnecessary drama, reactive behavior, watch your own mouth and mind, you will be able to keep the energy that is been given and use it for your benefit rather than just splash it all around and waste it. First of all, you will feel completely drained and second of all, it can be incredibly hard to put yourself together and again find your way. You have to add to this the intense power of eclipse itself, even if it’s partial, plus, of course the moon being in the underwater realm of Pisces. And the ruler of Pisces is currently in retrograde, so it’s not even in its own full power, plus it is in Aries, which is Fire of Mars. And like I mentioned earlier, Mars itself is in its debilitating zone of Cancer (Water). Like I always say, follow the white rabbit or everything is interconnected :) One piece leads to another, we have to look at the overall picture of everything in order to understand things.

All of that is accompanied by the recently entered North Node in Aquarius, which is currently at 29°32’ symbolizing The field of Ardath in bloom. In biblical field, it was also mentioned in the apocryphal book of 2 Esdras (9:26) as the site of a visionary experience. The root name also appears briefly in the Book of Jeremiah in connection with flora. It confirms that we are entering new realm, gaining new consciousness in awareness, building a new future. And it all depends on us, collectively and/or individually, how it will manifest and what it would be all about. But the symbol by itself brings us the possibility of a miracle of renewal and rebirth after all the trials and transformations that we had been through.

The opposite of this placement is South Node in Leo symbolized by An Unsealed Letter. It is also deeply meaningful and shows us that something that perhaps we have been hoarding or keeping close to the heart (Leo) no longer requires this protection so we can finally open up. Well, because we had just entered into this Leo – Aquarius axis, it it is the beginning stage of opening up :) and like I always say, Leo needs to stand up straight, representing the spine to it can no longer walk around with head down or rounded shoulders. We need to Roar into the existence :) but because this is still a South Node I will realization and perspective needs to shift towards gifting ourselves, our brave heart, our unique talent, and identity to all of the humanity or collective, rather than just keeping it for ourselves and staying, locked in or locked away in our treasure chest.

While writing the above paragraph, I just thought about us finishing the lunar nodes in Virgo and Pisces, which was teaching us to trust into the unknown, let go of this rigid control, and have faith. Then John Piper quote came to mind “The Key that unlocks the treasure chest of God‘s peace is faith in the promises of God”. In each and one of us has its own unique key that feeds his lack of this treasure chest, which is the Chiron in your chart. Remember, it is symbolized by none other, but the KEY 🔑  Soon transiting Chiron will regress in Aries again testing us one last time in terms of how good did we learn the lessons that he was teaching us for the past eight years while moving through this zodiac sign. Did we grind our key correctly in terms of our willpower, motivation, assertiveness, necessary boundaries and the fundamental right to exist as we are?

All in all, to summarize, pay attention to things, do not rush anything. Listen to yourself, to your inner guidance system that each and one of us have, but sometimes it just has been cluttered by a lot of junk :) declutter, my friends, and start to reconnect with yourself. This is our way to the future and forward. You can also expect flashes of genius, interesting ideas, experience some vivid dreams and understand them, as well as notice many signs from different sides. But it all possible if you will not clutter yourself with any junk any longer. Great possibilities for emotional breakthrough if you will not let any outside influence to mess around with you mind and cloud your judgment or perspective from things or probably most importantly, faith, and belief. You can also experience sudden realizations about yourself, people around you, life in general and so on. Heightened intuition is rising within us all. But pick up on your own things, we are all an antenna. So tune into yourself and you shall receive this realizations, intuition, and understanding of how to move forward in whatever you need. If you spend time with yourself, meditating, journaling, talking out loud, you will understand more clearly what needs to be released. You will receive signs in one way or another. What is that emotional baggage that you keep caring with you and that finally needs to be let go of, especially if it’s not yours in the first place. Some of us consciously, but many of us unconsciously were carrying it on for way too long.

Lastly, I want to add that both Pluto retrograde in Aquarius and Neptune retrograde in Aries are making quincunx to the Sun & Mercury in Virgo, which is bringing us Yod or Hand of God configuration points once again that something fated and karmic is happening. Quincunx asks for adjustment, adaptation, and flexibility. I had already told you earlier in this year when discussing the specific aspect that many times they point to the areas of our life and personal chart where we neglect, ignore the friction, consequently, it can manifest and pretty often, actually, as stress and physical tension, which further can lead to the unwanted challenges In health. Aries and Aquarius representative of early mentioned Fire & Air dance, so you need to ground yourself otherwise you can be swept away and drained by the energies of these elements, zodiac signs and planets that are reside in currently there, both of them, again, in retrograde. The Apex on Sun&Mercury in Virgo shows us how to go about our growth and handling this situation, which is by mastering the energy of these two in the sign of Virgo. Use the mental power of Mercury in its own sign and the light of the Sun as your anchor. I cannot stress enough of not trying to force things, do not rush anything, pay attention to everything, ground yourself, and more importantly, take care of yourself.

Please, do check your own birth chart, or book a reading with me to see how these energies are playing out for you specifically, if you need a deeper look and understanding of the things. with every reading booked from NOW till The End of August, you receive the guidance for the final four months of the year the rest of complimentary.

Generations that had Experience this placement are from September 1937 to June 1941 and June 1988 to July 1991

Chiron in Cancer symbolizes a deep emotional wound related to family, home, maternal care, and a sense of security. This placement indicates an internal conflict between the desire for a secure emotional foundation and the fear of rejection, as well as immense potential to become a healer for others through one's own experiences of pain. Unprocessed resentment, guilt, and a longing for a warmth that never existed, all of this surfaces in close relationships. A painful reaction may arise when encountering other people's warm, loving families, these serve as a reminder of what the individuals themselves missed out on. Yet, they are constantly seeking that warmth, in everything they do, often on an unconscious level. You cannot even imagine what is going on inside them. Because they have the ability to withdraw into themselves, they often keep things to themselves and share nothing with anyone, having already learned the price of trust. Sometimes, a person completely walls themselves off, presenting a hard shell to the world to avoid the risk of rejection. These emotional struggles and the resulting stress often take a physical toll, particularly on the stomach and digestion; some people may feel an urge to "eat away" their sadness, while others might lose their appetite entirely. It is crucial to understand, however, that you shouldn't fall into the trap of blaming your parents. Your wound is real, and your feelings are valid, but as an adult, you have the power to provide that warmth for yourself and that is your task. I know this firsthand, and I can tell you it is entirely possible. Then again, like any deep-seated wound, it never fully disappears; we can only work through it to a certain extent. Ultimately, our greatest gift is to share our skills, talents, experience, knowledge, wisdom, and love with others. Love will save the world.

With Chiron in Cancer, specific traumas or sudden separations in our relationship with our mother may have left us feeling stunned and unable to figure out what happened; we may conclude that we did something wrong, and later on tend to be oversensitive to disapproval and the threat of separation. With Chiron in Cancer you might have difficulty receiving emotional and/or physical nourishment, always feeling hungry and full of longing, or starving in the midst of plenty, sort of speak. You then tend to hide in your shell and feel too vulnerable to open yourself to receiving nourishment from others, but also feel shrivelled inside that protective shell. It can also be situation That as a child you were around emotional instability, kind of drama, unavailability, or even fragility of your parents and your immediate environment. So to survive and continue like nothing happens, these people often shut down their own emotional system to avoid overwhelming even further those around them whom they are affected by. These people also can be like a sponge or immediate between parents or these conflicting sites who brings them these emotional instability. They always try to be this shock observer in a way for the family, so this is why they always prioritize everyone else come for while treating their own feelings this kind of nonexistent or even dangerous to say out loud . They often later on in life, build an absolute wall around himself, don’t forget that they have this cancer shell and claimed that they don’t need anyone, they can also hyper intellectualize their own feelings, and refuse to let anyone see their vulnerability out of fear that they will be left alone once things get real and people won’t understand them. I feel so deeply for these people. With cancer Capricorn axis there is a court tension between the vulnerable need for emotional safety team, belonging, and nurturing versus the demands for structure, self sufficiency, and responsibility. Parental axis, as I said that in my Chiron Capricorn article. Relationship between the inner child and the so protective parent, private home and sanctuary and visible public sphere of life. With every access we want to find a golden ratio, harmony, and balance between the two opposites. So we need to integrate our boundaries with empathy. Provide all these things for yourself and then you will be able to be who you truly are in a full meaning of it. Let’s talk about some of the key aspects to this specific placement. There is a deep wound in terms of acceptance. So the native can feel that he were never loved for who he truly is, perhaps not even understood or try to be understood of who he is. Very often this position accompanied by the feeling of not having enough care, warm feelings, unconditional, love, and feeling of safety in the childhood. Because it is cancer zodiac sign, which is a maternal sign, this position often involves complicated and or complex relationship with one mother or even a feeling of not having home, or Family even if frankly speaking, the family was there. But not in the sense of true definition of the family and what is it represents. Another thing it is The paradox of vulnerability and empathy: through their own painful experiences, this person gains a unique capacity to deeply empathize with others, understand their pain, and create an atmosphere of comfort and safety for them. Naturally, this manifests most vividly in the area of ​​life associated with the astrological house where Chiron is positioned in that person's chart. There is a constant conflict in the native’s psyche between desire and reality. On the one hand, these individuals have a strong need for a secure home and close relationships but on the other, there is the fear of being rejected or failing to live up to expectations. I can sell you, that unconsciously, these people looking for this feeling of Home. Perhaps for some it happens even consciously, once they realize things and understand themselves truly. And here I’m talking about understanding their wound too. So vulnerability and fear as well as anxiety can rise up and make these people go back in their crab shell, Eve their hopes or expectations fell apart, and the world was broken sort of speak into small pieces shattered in a way by other peoples. It happens because like I said, unconsciously this need for Home and safety sometimes lead to not really good experiences. There is people in the world who can give you a sense of it or create this kind of atmosphere for you but with good intentions, it can also be that there themselves not understanding who they truly are, so they have also this kind of split personality. So they can meet in pretty often very intense, dramatic, sometimes aggressive, or I would say unstable people that sometimes give them what they’re looking for and then suddenly disappear, and by that they reopening their wound over and over again. Now I can tell you that this is going to continue happen in one way or another throughout the life until the native of these position will understand what is actually happening. And more importantly why. So again, we need to look where is the core of the onion, once they understand this position, reflect on their experience experiences, childhood, and more and hear there is not even need to blame someone in the childhood because half of the times people do things unconsciously, and without bad intentions, even saying that there is good intentions, but it is still manifesting that way. These people can often have overbearing with demanding parents, especially Mother that in her side she was also raised by perhaps called parents. I can tell you that I like to look at the patterns and I’ve mentioned to you already in one of my articles. I love to look at genealogical patterns. And what I realize there is many times people with prominent cancer positions, or specifically the placement that we are talking about, are being raised by parents or mother who has strong Capricorn and Virgo positions. This is not to say that these people are like cold and bad. No, their behavior also came from something. This is why we have this term as healing ancestral trauma or wound of the lineage. Because there is always somewhere deep seated seed of the wound. We can work on everything, but does not mean as I always say that the wound is going to disappear, you just we are changing our where understanding of it as well as our relationship with it. And it’s not an easy one here because cancer by itself is very sensitive, very empathic, very vulnerable in a way. And many experiences can push them back into the shell, and then they process everything internally, which can only provoke other people more to demand things from them. But once they experience the pain too many times they’re extremely anxious to open up. Because they know it takes them forever to get back themselves from these shattered pieces. They often been manipulated by other people, lied to, used by other people, again not because they’re so silly, but because they’re very trusting and there are these vulnerable child. They usually stay like that their whole life, but not in the infantile sense, rather on the inner side, being vulnerable, but at the same time very childlike naive and still wanting home, care and trust inside.

As they age, this can manifest in behavioral and emotional patterns—such as excessive caretaking (or "over-mothering") of others as an attempt to compensate for their own perceived deficiencies. There is a tendency to avoid conflict to keep the peace, even at the expense of their own needs and, most importantly, at the expense of themselves. They struggle to express their own desires and needs, fearing rejection, ridicule, reprimand, or exclusion, essentially, the fear of losing what they have built and what they possess. Emotional instability, mood swings, and a tendency to let their mood be dictated by those close to them are also common. This is partly because the Cancer zodiac sign is inherently sensitive and empathetic; they possess keen intuition and a deep, subtle understanding of others. I would say they see everything, yet others often disagree with them for their own reasons perhaps due to their own fears and ultimately lash out at, reject, or abandon the Cancer. Consequently, the individual is left alone and abandoned, which is precisely their deepest internal fear. Their inner child does not want to be alone; that child still craves care, love, and affection. It is not about being spoiled; the issue lies elsewhere. Ultimately, the person must become their own parent and their own family. Only then will they find a sense of calm and peace, though, as I mentioned, this wound, like any other, never fully heals. It can only be understood and worked through to a certain degree. In this unresolved state—driven by a desperate need for attention and the company of others, such a person may be highly prone to emotional blackmail. This can manifest as over-caring, as I’ve already mentioned, where a person might say things like, "I do so much for you, yet you are ungrateful." All of this is an unconscious attempt to receive the warmth that was missing in childhood. As with any position, there is nothing inherently wrong with it; it is not a matter of acting out of malice or calculated intent. Different people and different positions manifest in various ways. It all depends on our level of self-awareness, age, and our understanding of things, the world, and, of course, ourselves.

These individuals yearn for a deep emotional connection, yet simultaneously harbor an intense fear of losing it. Consequently, one often sees unhealthy attachments and a reluctance to let go of others. This stems from a fear of losing their "circle" which is their nest, so to speak. A paradox arises here: the more they attach themselves to someone, especially in an unhealthy sense, the more they push others away. They may apologize profusely, even when they have acted correctly, simply out of a fear of being left alone. You might not grasp it, but that is where the behavior originates, even if it happens subconsciously. They long to be understood, yet not everyone possesses the patience, desire, or even the capacity to try to understand them. Thus, they find themselves reliving the same situations over and over throughout their lives until they learn to create that sense of home and comfort for themselves. They must understand, see, and explore themselves, and finally acknowledge their own worth. These people are truly unique and a tremendous gift to the world; it is very difficult to find people with such compassion. They genuinely strive to be a mother figure, a pillar of support, and a family to others. It is vitally important to them that others do not feel the way they once did or perhaps still do. Capricorn sits opposite them in the zodiac, lending them the quality of being a reliable anchor and a source of stability for others. They truly seek to understand people and help them in whatever way they can boosting their self-confidence and, most importantly, showing them their own uniqueness and value. Of course, extreme scenarios are possible; as we always say, there are three stages to navigating the "Chiron wound." A person might turn into something of an aggressor, but this is ultimately a defensive reaction; in this specific case, it doesn't manifest with the same level of aggression seen in other signs simply because, at their core, they are kind-hearted and empathetic people.

They are prone to codependency, yet, as I have already noted, they can also display passive-aggressive behavior. Do not forget that they have a deep sense of others and are highly skilled at reading people. This means that even if someone disagrees with them, they see and understand everything. While they might reveal a different side of themselves in certain situations, in my experience, this has happened very rarely.

i know a vast number of people with this placement, and I can tell you that the most common manifestation I’ve seen in women is a fear of being a bad mother, there may also be, to some extent, an inexplicable reluctance to become a mother or to embrace that role. However, this often arises in the early stages of life and stems from family dynamics or things they witnessed while growing up. Let’s not forget that many people with this placement were born during years when single-mother households were common situations where the father figure was missing for various reasons, whether due to work, alcoholism, or simply his absence. This generation also frequently encountered intense family scandals and domestic violence, as well as the suppression of the feminine; consequently, many of them, early on, develop a desire to avoid repeating their mother's mistakes or becoming overly dependent. Instead, they strive for independence and want to be strong women capable of handling everything on their own. (I was speaking specifically about women here, of course.) Again, this isn't always the case, but I’ve seen many such examples, and I’m sharing this to provide a general perspective. These patterns tend to persist until the individual gains self-awareness and begins to heal those early wounds. You see, we only start working on ourselves at a specific stage in life; before that, we often move unconsciously, just drifting along and are frequently influenced by the opinions of others, as well as by television, celebrities, and the narratives we are constantly fed. Eventually, however, a person realizes they are on the wrong path or that they are unhappy; that is when the process of self-examination begins, an attempt to understand what is actually happening and what they truly need. But everyone’s path is different. For women, this can also manifest as doubts about their ability to be a good homemaker or keeper of the hearth, for various reasons, they may simply not be suited to that role, something I have witnessed time and time again. Yet, the desire is there, deep down. However, it can be frightening to admit to wanting that, as there is often a pressure to appear very strong instead. Among men, I have observed that this situation frequently triggers an internal conflict between their innate sensitivity and the pressure to conform to traditional notions of masculinity.

Whenever these individuals encounter certain triggers, they can be deeply affected; it becomes very difficult for them to recover, pull themselves together, calm down, and regain a sense of inner harmony, which is something they deeply crave. Such triggers include situations where their feelings are ignored or their contributions go unrecognized, unexpected changes at home, relationship issues, or coldness from loved ones. Discussions about past family mistakes or losses can also set them off;, they are often highly compassionate people who may easily be moved to tears with or without an apparent reason. They empathize with absolutely everything; even movies or news stories about separation and loss can stir up a whirlwind of emotions within them. Ultimately, they may go out of their way to avoid situations that provoke these emotional fluctuations, simply because functioning under such strain is incredibly difficult for them.

As I have already mentioned, I am acquainted with a vast number of people who have this placement including personal friends and loved ones, as well as a great many clients. To work through this placement, we took specific, key steps. First, it is necessary to separate from one’s parents, whether literally or figuratively. It is important to stop being an "eternal child," so to speak, and to assume the role of a caring adult toward oneself. I also want to note that, at times, these individuals may react with aggression if treated like a child or someone clueless, as I mentioned earlier, they are not actually infantile. They need to learn to let go of the search for external validation, a task that is extremely difficult, yet possible. Self-worth here must not depend on praise from others; you will never receive it in the way you desire. In other words, it is crucial to find value in yourself independent of external approval. Practices such as self-support and creating personal rituals, establishing a cozy, safe "nest" are vital for these individuals. At the same time, they should not suppress their kind, empathetic, and compassionate nature, their willingness to care about the lives of others, because, in a sense, this is their true calling. Of course, everything depends on other placements in the natal chart and, naturally, on the individual themselves. It is precisely their authenticity and belief in themselves that help them find what they have so fiercely craved and sought throughout their lives. In my work with clients, I have also taught them how to articulate their own needs and wants. The sign of Cancer often retreats into its shell, people with this placement may pretend everything is fine just to keep the peace. However, it is important to learn to ask for support and help when needed and to clearly define boundaries, rather than losing oneself in the role of a "rescuer" or a "mother figure" to everyone. And, of course, this involves working with your own family and family patterns. It means becoming aware of and reinterpreting your own ancestral stories, understanding your family, your parents, and why things happened the way they did. When you realize that everything is passed down from generation to generation and that there is an explanation and a cause for everything if we grasp the underlying dynamics, you gain the opportunity to resolve and find closure on certain issues. We can then stop projecting old traumas onto our current relationships. There is no need to shut yourself off from others; there are many people in the world who need you. And what happened to you in the past does not necessarily have to repeat itself in every relationship. Ultimately, we sort out the situation and move to a new level. Healing comes through the conscious restoration of your inner home and inner harmony, as I always tell you, friends, it is not about physical space, but about the state of the soul a place where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. That is the harmony that needs to be restored. People with this placement often gravitate toward healing work, fostering emotional, mental, and physical well-being. They excel in psychology, working with families and children, and helping others in general, they truly shine in situations where someone needs to feel accepted and supported. Initially, however, they may struggle in cold, competitive environments, as they thrive on warmth, without it, they wither like an exotic flower. Yet, it is precisely their sensitivity to others' sense of displacement or loneliness that makes them indispensable in work involving emotional pain and the need for understanding. Their greatest strength lies in their firsthand knowledge of what it feels like to be unloved or undervalued, this allows them to skillfully heal others facing similar situations. The key is to find a sense of "home" within oneself first, rather than in other people; once that happens, everything else begins to fall into place.

I will repeat that everything depends heavily on the astrological house where this placement falls in your own natal chart and, of course, on the aspects it forms with other points and personal planets. For instance, Chiron in the fourth house which is the natural home of the sign Cancer highlights themes related to roots and childhood. In the twelfth house, however, the focus shifts to working through subconscious fears and hidden resentments. That is why we must always consider the chart as a whole. If chiron makes aspect with Venus, or Venus, in some kind of challenging aspects itself, it also can make themes of love, be more relevant for you. Here is the most important one to understand that you can be laughed without any kind of achievements, without over bearing and doing something. First you need to love yourself and only then you can have a healthy loving relationship with others. Otherwise, it will always going to be one-sided in one way or another. Chiron in this position represents a wound at your very core a theme centering on home, family, and acceptance. The pain arises precisely where you should ideally find warmth and comfort. If this placement forms a harmonious aspect with your Moon or if your Moon is otherwise well-positioned the journey from that wound toward finding a true sense of home and forging your own path becomes smoother and gentler. That is not to say it is entirely painless. Yet, by creating the warmth you once lacked, you gain the ability to share it with others, this is a truly wonderful talent and gift, one that will be deeply appreciated by those who need it and the world is in need of it.

Let’s also look at briefly what each house will represent for this position.

First house and self identity, seems of feeling physically unsafe in your own body and hiding your emotional side from everyone

Second house, your values and self-worth, I will also include hear your assets. Seems so tying your personal self-worth to financial stability, particular image of yourself, and it can also be hoarding material things for safety.

Third house represents our communication, genuinely speaking, so here fear that you are a genius, feelings and sensitivity, misunderstood or completely ignored by your peers

Four house is your Home and Family, your roots. So this is intense, ancestral trauma, native here feels that childhood and his home was never a safe place.

In the fifth house, which is our self expression, creativity, children, native fears, parenthood, or potentially struggling to let himself experience, joy, express himself, fully and uniquely, being playful, and so on

In the six hours of daily routine and health, it can be internalized stress, then then leads to psychosomatic challenges and illnesses, as well as some chronic disease, natives here are very into overworking to find their own security

Seven house of partnership, so can be relying entirely on your partners for validation and constantly have a fear of abandonment

Eight hours of transformation, trust, shared resources, brings difficulty during intimacy, vulnerability around trust, fear of being controlled and possessed by other others, so fear being dependent on someone

Nice philosophy, travel, high knowledge, brings search for spiritual home through external experiences, as well as travel, higher education or religion and belief system

10th house, your ambitions, career the highest point in your horoscope brings professional success is the main theme to counter family, expectation or personal self-esteem, which is could be very low

11th house, our collective, community and so on can make a person feel like perpetual outsider, even within the groups of friends, Or some kind of collaborative group groups

And finally 12 house it’s our subconscious, hidden world, everything that comes from some other side of ourselves it brings deep ancestral baggage and the desire to bury it, requiring spiritual solitude to uncover.

Let’s sum it up Because of what you went through, your foundation was shaken early on. You never truly got to experience home as a safe, stable harbor. That deep-seated uncertainty is likely why it feels so hard today to find your place, settle down, and build a life. When you don’t feel like you belong anywhere, you lose touch with your own inner voice. To make up for that emptiness, you might find yourself giving up your own needs just to feel included by others. The path to healing this abandonment wound isn't about looking outside yourself. It happens when you awaken your own inner protector, a loving, nurturing presence that reminds you every single day that you are entirely worthy of love.

Remember that The Love that we miss lies within us, cut off from us by our own self-judgments. The Healing path will take us on a journey that will ultimately awaken us to the reality of Love within us and around us. Ultimately, by trying to aid others in their search for these things, we will find it in ourselves too. In the process of healing others, our own self healing happening :)

As always, thank you so much for reading my article and being a part of my circle. I put my heart and soul in what I write and I take it very seriously. This specific placement is very dear to my heart, so I wanted people to fully understand it and explain it in every way possible and hopefully I’ve done a great job for you. I’m grateful for each and everyone of you, and again please support my work by becoming a follower if my work resonates with you. Share your thoughts, comment below and ask questions. You know I respond to each and every one of you and I absolutely love it. Again have a beautiful week and let’s continue to spread love and awareness :)

Sincerely, Alina

The key is to find the original reason behind it.

As I have come to understand through deeper exploration, attachment challenges are closely interconnected with fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, fear of being judged or perceived as strange, and fear of betrayal – often something that happened suddenly, unexpectedly, and without explanation. As I went deeper into this topic, I realized that the original wound is often the wound of belonging.

Each one of us seeks belonging. I am sure you have noticed this as well. Through research, observation, and working closely with people, I have seen again and again that humans want to belong. We are tribal beings, and it is extremely difficult for most people to function entirely alone, especially in the modern world. Everything appears stable on the surface, but underneath, much of it is artificial and fragile.

Very often, this wound begins early in life. A child may experience instability within the family – frequent moves, constant arguments, emotional tension, or even physical conflict between parents or caregivers. This creates fear. The fear that if one parent leaves, something terrible may happen. The child does not yet understand what is happening, but the fear of abandonment appears for the first time. When a child witnesses repeated conflict, there is already a form of abandonment taking place – emotional abandonment. This does not mean the parents did it consciously or intentionally. Often they simply do not realize the impact, especially if they themselves grew up in similar conditions and believe it is normal. Nothing may be inherently wrong with them, but the imprint on the child can be very deep.

This is one possible origin.

Another can appear later, when a child is rejected by peers, excluded from a social circle, constantly compared to others, ridiculed, or laughed at unjustly. And, of course, there are cases of literal abandonment or rejection.

The child then grows up carrying a subconscious state of hypervigilance – an expectation that betrayal, rejection, or abandonment is inevitable. In order to prevent that from happening, the child learns that love must be earned. Loyalty must be earned. Acceptance must be earned. They believe they must be perfect, the best, everything at once. Even if they achieve excellence in certain areas, it is never enough – neither for them nor for others. The missing piece is self-recognition of value.

Until a person understands their own value, this pattern continues.

And to reach that understanding, one must find the true origin of the feeling. Without recognizing the real cause, it is impossible to resolve it. Otherwise, the blame is constantly shifted to external factors, and the person gets lost. Someone may conclude that the problem is men, or women, or relationships in general, when in reality that is not the root. Others may dismiss them or invalidate their experience, but only the individual truly knows what they are feeling.

I always recommend doing the work yourself. That is the ultimate goal. However, in the beginning, support is often necessary. You need someone you can open up to, someone who listens, someone who helps you navigate these patterns in a grounded and healthy way – not someone who turns you against people or deepens confusion. Without proper support, it is easy to fall back into old patterns again and again.

This is where astrology can be incredibly helpful. Astrology allows us to pinpoint these themes. There are specific placements that speak directly to these wounds, such as Chiron, the asteroid known as the wounded healer, among others. This is where we should begin. I will explain the myth of Chiron, how it connects to these patterns, and how we can work through each of them step by step.

I also want to emphasize that everything I am speaking about here is not theoretical. It is something I have lived through myself and observed closely through the lived experiences of many others over a prolonged period of time. Astrology, in particular, has helped me enormously in finding my way back to my true and authentic self. It gave me language, structure, and perspective for experiences that once felt confusing or overwhelming.

This work is neither easy nor light. It takes time. In the world we live in now, people want everything immediately, as if transformation should happen in an instant. That simply does not work. Nothing meaningful, nothing valuable, and nothing that truly lasts happens momentarily. That belief is one of the great illusions of the modern world.

I am here to share, through my own journey, the tools that helped me reconnect with myself, understand the deeper reasons behind certain behaviors, thoughts, and recurring patterns. Without this level of self-work, harmony, peace, and true understanding are not possible – neither within yourself nor in the outer world. No matter how many retreats you attend, how many sound baths you experience, or how many guided meditations you listen to, it will never be enough on its own.

The key is within you. You already carry it in your birth chart. What remains is to place yourself on that blueprint and begin the work of walking your map :)

Thank you everyone for reading and being a part of my circle. Please join me on any socials if my work resonates. Comment below 👇 always happy to see your words and grateful for you 🫶

Who Is This Article For?

• People with natal Chiron in Capricorn.

• People with major Capricorn placements or points, especially the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven, or Saturn.

• People with significant placements on the Cancer–Capricorn axis.

• People with strong 4th or 10th house themes or current activations there.

• And, simply, anyone who wants to understand the area of life ruled by Capricorn in their birth chart or who experienced same kind of challenges and recognizes themselves

Let us begin by stating that Kyron in Capricorn brings the wound in realms of achievement, status, recognition and self worth. Things that are connected to success, authority, parental figures, perhaps specifically father (as Saturn a ruler of the Capricorn) can bring pain to you. On the other hand it is strongly coloured by our experience of mother, symbolized by the 10th house (where Capricorn naturally resides) Saturn is the ruler of the sign of Capricorn, and the natural ruler of the 10th house, which reflects the fact that our first boundaries are indeed within mother’s body.  Many people look at it differently, meaning some will say the fourth house is the Mother and the 10th house is the father, the others will tell you differently. But the point is, the 4th–10th house generally speaking represents the parental axis as a whole. At some point in childhood the native understood that he needs to work hard to be deserving of the love and respect, and if he will just make one misstep he will be pushed away and rejected. Native may feel that he can only be valued for his success, Or like I’ve mentioned perhaps he had very harsh parental or authority figures, and/or one of the parents or both, were cold and demanding, so all that experience made them feel that they can never make mistake and they have to hold everything together otherwise they will lose it all. This is one of the reasons where hard-working quality comes from, somewhat seriousness that you can always see in their face and as well as anxiety or subconscious fear of failure. It can also go the opposite way when the native gives up on his ambitions, with thinking that he cannot reach the goals or realize his dreams and true potential. Once the wound consciously work through, and it takes time, this person can give others with a similar issues or in general much needed support and recognition that is not tied to the achievements only. These people also can be very sensitive to other people’s fear of failure and generally healing path here goes through finding your own worth and value outside any achievements sort of speak. Specifically external achievements.

Native can become an amazing leader, authority figure, even mentor that not pressing people, but actually who gives them support because they know firsthand how it feels to be suffocating under the load of “must”, constant pressure and heavyweight of responsibilities, sometimes not even theirs to carry.

If you look at it from maternal influences point of view, then example comes to mind. Capricornian 10 house can also symbolize unconscious ambitions of the mother, her own drive for independence, power, and success, which is lived through the child. The unfulfillment of those has a tremendous effect and influence on the child, even if it’s not truly realized, meaning it’s subconsciously driven. And there are plenty of example of that in the world currently. I actually know someone with this placement That fits that description perfectly. Capricorn realm is where we seek to fulfill our worldly ambitions, find recognition and express ourselves for who we truly are. It is also how we aspire to give form to our potential. It is what the world asks from us, and in return what we expect from the world. Here is the quote of John F. Kennedy comes to mind “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" during his inaugural address on January 20, 1961 :) with Capricorn I have noticed, the journey can be not as easy or fast per se. Symbolized by the Mountain Goat, we can see how this zodiac sign moves in life generally speaking. They belong to the antelope and cattle family, living on sheer cliffs up to 13,000 feet high. They possess specialized hooves with rubbery pads for traction and muscular shoulders built for scaling near-vertical rock faces. So just like them, these individuals are incredibly strong, very enduring, and methodical. These people get to their goals, no matter what they are, and no matter how long it takes them. They have an incredible power to find stability,  their place in the world, withheld any changes and whatever else life throws at them. But it does not mean that they do not feel anything. These people are incredibly sensitive, fragile, and vulnerable on the inside. Do not forget that across from them is the cancer. And I have written many articles that you can check on my Substack concerning cancer zodiac sign, they were about certain events, but I described there lengthy their peculiarities and characteristics as well as symbolism in general. As well as you can find there paragraphs about that specific axis of cancer and Capricorn.

Like I always say the wound never disappears, but here specifically in Capricorn, it will give if work through very deep understanding of responsibility and maturity. So the native becomes a supportive pillar sort of speak for others because he were looking for it himself and couldn’t find it at some point. Once you find your value and worth outside of all that achievements and external success, you will be able to gift it to others and consequently, it’s much better and solid compared to the cold and ruthless success of those who went through everything without experience any pain whatsoever.

Because the main theme here revolves around achievement and recognition, mostly, there could be a very painful reaction to anything in anyone who goes through life very easy, who gets things very easy, who gets recognized by many people without actually making so much effort, without actually doing all the hard work and experience everything. It doesn’t say anything bad about them, it just one of the possible way this pain manifest through this reaction. And because of all that stress that comes from constant pressure, tension, and so on the areas of the bodies that gets the most effect are your knees, bones, joints, skeletal system. So what we can see, it is your carcass, the frame of your body, the structural system. It’s your body support mechanism, just like Capricorn becomes this reliable support mechanism for others. Another areas that starts basically falling apart, and this is your indication, that there is too much tension, pressure, and so on within the body, that you carry a lot and hold within you without letting go, delegating, and so on and this is not your fault, some people just have a circumstances like that too, is your protective and covering tissue. So teeth, hair, skin becomes influenced by that weight of responsibility, withholding things in the body, pressure and tension. They represent structural extension of the body frame as well as outer epidermal barrier, which is just like Saturn, which is the ruler of Capricorn represents principles of boundary and defense. And because it’s psychosomatic, physical exercise exercises, and some other things that people usually will recommend not always working here and sometimes not even at all. I’ve seen people and had clients who were doing everything they could but nothing were working until their addressed actually things that happening on the inside. So in the other words did their inner work which we all have to do. It takes time, it takes courage, it takes lots of learning, understanding, and effort. And of course, more importantly, conscious awareness. But this is your signal pretty much. Once one thing start fall apart, everything else will start to collapse. So I have individuals who suffer from chronic joint stiffness, arthritis, dental problems, knee injuries. For example, I have clients and friends with this placement who are working as professional dancers, and the only area of the body where they suffer is actually the knees and joints, and then skin and teeth, I’m not joking. Obviously not everyone, but I’ve have so many examples around me like that. It’s like body becomes a place of battlefield. The body framework per se. Lots of physical and rigid experiences do their job and overtime These people also experience a lot of mineral depletion which affects their framework and bones and everything that I mentioned. When these people suppress their emotions, psoriasis and eczema are quite possible here or if they suppress the anger, the issues with scheme, like acne or rosacea also possible. On the other side, I can tell you that I’ve had clients that i had worked with between 4 1/2 to 6 months I believe, and the results were astonishing. They had such an improvement in their health, they had not lost their weight because they were big or something, but become more leaner because they shed all that unnecessary layers from the body, they let go a lot, we’ve done a lot of psychosomatic work, so we addressed the inner problems that came from deep inside, that originated in the childhood and then we manifested in certain areas of their life. So one example comes to mind I had a client that was suffering from suddenly starting gaining weight, especially around knees, and she also had started to have problems with the jaw, teeth and experienced some kind of red spots on her body. And we had worked for around 4 1/2 months, and addressed the issues that she was withholding so much and thinking that she has to carry the weight and responsibilities for everyone else. This is not to say that everything was so easy, and she just healed herself in the mere of a second. But She was very open to everything so the work was I would say on the easier side because she did not want to go through any medical procedures whatsoever and she had tried already absolutely everything to that point. So this client right now is very happy and leaving a healthy life and joyful life with her newly founded partner to whom she got married even. This is just one example how internal world can affect our physical world as I always tell you is inside so outside. This is not a medical advice, I’m just sharing a story of a client here. And in her case, she became an adult very early on her life because her mother were an alcoholic and did not care about her at all. So not only she became an adult very early. She also had carried all the responsibilities and eventually ran away from the house because she couldn’t bury the environment around her, she got pregnant and got married to someone without any surprise who exactly like her mother. This is another example of this manifestation of the wound. Without conscious understanding of everything that happened to you, these people can subconsciously look for the same individuals around them, even without realizing. So if they experienced these strict, cold, demanding authority, or parental figures in many cases they will end up with the same sort of speak characters later on and again will experience the same thing. But like I also mentioned to you, Capricorn in general, very strong, zodiac sign, mountain gold I mean, this is just incredible, but this animal does :) I am totally fascinated by them haha so no matter what life throws at them they somehow have this internal power and force to continue to the top of the mountain :) life will continue to throw things at you, and this wound will continue to manifest, perhaps in different ways, but it still will be about the same things over and over again until it gets addressed. The thing is the earlier you will do that the better but it’s not always working that way I understand. Later on it just becomes a very energy and health depleting for these people. At the end of the day, they look for these soft love and care, just like one of us, but they are in the parental axis, so they internally look for this home within, so they don’t have to be this constant achievers and performers. Although they are very successful and that as well. But internally, it comes from the place of craving love in the small circle, which is your home, but sometimes they look for it outside in the public.

At many times, even if they’re achieve success, and whenever they do so, and they receive this recognition, it does not feel that it didn’t brought them to happiness that they were looking for it, because then they often experienced concern that they are getting this attention and love because of the status and their connections, or success and not because of who they are. Which is again, just like I said points to they look for internal recognition, even if sometimes they don’t realize that till certain point. Usually, once they achieve success, they understand there was never about this external thing. But it represents for them this kind of fort that they built around them so nothing can hurt them. Because like I said to you in the beginning of article, they’re incredibly vulnerable inside. If you think about the zodiac sign Capricorn symbol It is a water-goat. So it did lost it water realm part, it’s still vulnerable. It is not fully out yet :) they can seem and sometimes act but not purposely meaning without any harmful intention or whatsoever, cold or be very distant, another quality that they can exhibit is desire to provide for people people because this is how they can show their love and think that people will understand that, but not everyone like that, my friends. Some people just look for this opportunities and will use you. And once this individuals experience that they can close up even more, go back into themselves. You have to understand that for these people, it’s very hard to truly believe that they can be loved just because, they can never relax. They’re always on the alert, because they think that if they will miss something, their whole world can fall apart. This is where the control comes from, it’s not about something bad it just because they grew up this way and they have the need to hold everything together. Because no one will do that for them and they experienced that many times. And even if they meet people who exhibit other things like I said, it will be very hard for them to believe. And sometimes they can push people away or not accept their help,love,closeness,care or be very cynical about exhibiting their own love or be soft and tender. Again, not because they don’t want, they sometimes don’t know how but mostly because they never experienced it while growing up. This is the seed, the core of the onion. So show love to these people they’re incredibly amazing, generous, kind, and loving individuals, you just need to show them love for them to open up like a flower and finally relax. I always feel a lot of compassion for these individuals because i see how hard is it for them to carry everything and they want to relax. They want to lose the control so let’s help them if you can :) you can see them with a mask of seriousness and coldness, which is their protective barrier their armor sort of speak or sometimes they will just do everything trying to prove to others that they need them. This comes unconsciously again. So these people and their healing path is in allowing themselves to be loved without trying to prove anything, to achieve anything and try to remove this protective armor around those people who they truly trust. Some unpleasant situations are inevitable, but it does not mean that whole life is going to be like that in every individual will be like that to you. And of course you need to show love to yourself too, which is also incredibly hard for them as I had experienced these people. Actually, have you ever seen these people with kids? They are incredibly loving, they will do everything and this is not only talking about their own kids, we can talk about their family members kids and so on, they will give a lot of gifts, they will always be for them, they always extend them a hand, they become their support system. Again, I’ve seen millions of the examples like that. And this is come from them not experiencing the same things while growing up. So once they see this vulnerable, small kids that don’t know anything in life they don’t want them to go through the same thing so they’re trying to do everything for them. Sometimes they can be overbearing though haha when you encounter this individuals remember even if they are very demanding, you have to understand they are a thousand times more demanding to themselves than they what they exhibit to the world. These sort of demands it’s not even about that. They just want other people also not to go through the same thing so they want to share with them that Experience and make sure that they do not make mistakes. This is how much they are internally afraid of failure and pain because they had experienced it in sometimes dramatic ways. Which I have to tell you leave an impression for them for the rest of their lives, but they are trying not to show it. So their seriousness and coldness is just a sign of vulnerability. Again they are  incredible people, I’m fortunate be surrounded by many of those in my life.

In terms of career, their journey could be very intense and full of situations that are connected to let’s say betrayals from authority, people around them, or people that they deeply respected or held close to the heart, and unnecessary early responsibilities that were very hard for them to carry him. in close relationship, they can be kind of slow when expressing their feelings, again this has come because their internal fear, they don’t want to look weak or be dependent because they relaxed and expressed everything. So this is why I mentioned sometimes unconsciously these people choose the same characters as they experienced early on in life. They can also try to gain this recognition and achieve success for the sake approval and not because they’re actually truly motivated. Again, it’s not always the case but it’s very possible. Capable of everything, these natives are very disciplined, like I said, they have a very tactic and methodical way of thinking, they are very stubborn in a good way, and they have an immense ability to actually rationally analyze things without any emotions involved.

Refer a friend

Because there is so much effect on the body, as I told you earlier in the article, these people would really benefit from a soft physical activity, like stretching, breathing practices, because it helps to actually remove this internal pressure and also better to hear your own needs and your own true voice. Those things I actually generally recommend to everyone, but people with this kind of positions will benefit from it enormously. I’ve done myself these things and I’ve been doing it for the past seven years, and you cannot even imagine how my life changed. Believe you me, it is like I entered a new life :) And all the people around me are truly astonished with my results haha Kyron in Capricorn people need to realize that it’s OK to make a mistake. It is a part of the journey. One of the examples that I usually give to my clients, its about a child when he learns how to walk. None of us came out of the womb, and right away just walked and started to do things. No, we actually have fallen many times before we were able to walk, as well as when you went to school, you did not know things, it’s not like you were straight A’s person right away, or in general it applies to anything in life. Just think about that and realize that it’s a part of the journey, it is something inevitable. This does not mean that you a failure or not smart enough or good enough. It’s actually means that you are human and that you are learning things and living life. Try to follow your own inner voice and your own guiding system, which is your intuition, have your own value system don’t follow others, who tried to make you think just like them if it doesn’t make sense to you. If it does, it does :) so just like with everything else there is a balance, we always need to find a balance and harmony between two extremes or opposites. Become your own parent that you did not have, give yourself love, care whatever you were missing in life. Do not concentrate only on the external world and try to give give give everyone else. Give to yourself, especially if you have the capacity for it and means.

The opposite extreme or shadow side, can manifest itself as I ve heard people calling them a cold tyrant, it can also be over extending yourself, extreme hard-working as an escape from everything, they can be emotionally very distance, hyper controlling, and they can exhibit also a lot of pessimism. But like I said, this just needs love,. It’s like imagine a scared animal who didn’t experience anything like that, who were beaten, or attacked, or whatever else. He just needs to start to feel that he can experience love, and he is loved. I actually rescued this incredibly scared, fragile, vulnerable, and already sick little kitten who are so afraid of everything. He had anemia already, and were almost dying. And after a week of medical attention, love and care he start to gain back his strength. When I brought him home he were incredibly afraid of everything, but now it’s been fourth day and he is all over the place. His eyes has changed completely and opened up because he were closing his eyes because he was so scared. And now he found his family he found loving people. And as they tell him, I did not rescue him. He rescued me in a way :) let’s give this gift of love whenever we can, all the shadows need is love, and understanding. Everything comes from these fragile, raw and vulnerable places that each, and every one of us had experienced at some point.

The axis of cancer and Capricorn is the nurture and the provider, both sides will prioritize loyalty, tradition, family, and long-term security over some fleeting things.

Yes. For every house, I’d keep the interpretations in the same personal, psychological, and slightly conversational style as the article, rather than making them sound like standard textbook house meanings. I’d also keep the focus on how the Chiron in Capricorn wound changes depending on where it is expressed.

Chiron in Capricorn through the houses

1st House
The wound can become deeply connected to identity, appearance, and the way these people feel they have to present themselves to the world, so they may feel that they have to be strong, capable, serious, and in control at all times, even when inside they are incredibly vulnerable. They can grow up feeling that they have to become an adult very early in life, and their healing comes through allowing themselves to simply be, without constantly having to prove who they are.

2nd House
Here the wound can manifest through self-worth, money, possessions, security, and the feeling that you have to achieve something or become someone in order to be valuable. These people may unconsciously measure their worth through what they have accomplished, earned, or provided for others, until they realize that their value was never supposed to depend on external success.

3rd House
The wound can be connected to the voice, communication, learning, and the feeling that they have to be intelligent, knowledgeable, or always say the right thing in order to be taken seriously. Sometimes there can be an early experience of being criticized, silenced, or made to feel that their words were not important enough, so healing comes through trusting their own voice and allowing themselves to learn, speak, and make mistakes without feeling ashamed.

4th House
This can take the wound very deeply into childhood, family, the relationship with parents, and the feeling that there was no real place where they could simply be a child. They may have had to carry responsibilities that were not theirs, become emotionally mature too early, or feel that they had to hold the family together, and eventually their healing comes through becoming the loving and supportive parent to themselves that they needed when they were growing up.

5th House
Here the wound can affect creativity, self-expression, romance, pleasure, and the ability to simply enjoy life without feeling that everything has to have a purpose or produce a result. These people may be afraid of looking foolish, failing creatively, or putting themselves on display, so they can become very serious about things that are actually supposed to bring them joy, and the healing is learning that they do not have to earn the right to play, create, love, or be seen.

6th House
This can manifest through an enormous sense of duty, work, responsibility, routines, and the feeling that they always have to be useful to someone. They can become extreme workers, perfectionists, or people who believe that resting is somehow a failure, and because the body eventually carries everything that the person refuses to put down, healing comes through learning that taking care of yourself is also a responsibility.

7th House
The wound can manifest through relationships with demanding, controlling, emotionally unavailable, or authoritative partners, because unconsciously they can recreate the dynamic they experienced earlier in life. They may feel that love has to be earned through loyalty, sacrifice, responsibility, or constantly proving their worth, until they understand that a healthy relationship should not feel like another authority figure that they have to please.

8th House
Here the wound can go into intimacy, trust, shared resources, dependency, loss, and the fear of losing control when another person becomes deeply involved in their life. These people may have a very hard time allowing themselves to be vulnerable or dependent on someone else, because somewhere inside there is a fear that if they surrender control, everything will fall apart, and their healing comes through learning that true intimacy requires trust and does not mean weakness.

9th House
The wound can manifest through beliefs, higher education, philosophy, spirituality, teachers, or the feeling that they need to have all the answers in order to be respected and taken seriously. They may have experienced judgment from authority figures around their beliefs or intellectual abilities, and their healing comes through understanding that wisdom is not about knowing everything, but about remaining open enough to continue learning.

10th House
This is where the themes of achievement, recognition, authority, career, status, and public image can become especially powerful. These people may spend years trying to prove themselves to the world, sometimes carrying enormous professional responsibilities or feeling that their entire identity depends on what they accomplish, only to eventually understand that the recognition they were looking for outside of themselves has to begin with recognizing their own worth first.

11th House
Here the wound can manifest through social acceptance, friendships, communities, networks, and the feeling that they have to contribute something important in order to belong. They may become incredibly useful and supportive to groups and communities, sometimes taking on responsibilities that nobody asked them to carry, but the deeper healing comes when they realize that they do not have to earn their place among other people through what they do for them.

12th House
This can be one of the more difficult places because the wound may operate largely underneath the surface, through unconscious fears around failure, responsibility, rejection, authority, and the feeling that they have to carry everything alone. These people may not even understand why they are constantly tense or why they find it so difficult to rest and surrender, and their healing requires going inward, releasing the burdens they have carried for so long, and finally understanding that they are allowed to be supported too.

I hope you enjoyed the article. Just want to mention, because I had rescued the kitten, it did take my attention away so much and time from writing, but he’s better so I’m back :) again if I hadn’t answered your message yet, I will be doing this this weekend, so everything is back on track :) if my work resonates, you can find all the links on my profiles. I usually pin them if it is on social media or it is in the bio. Thank you everyone, please share your thoughts or if you have any questions. Next, we’re going to look at Kyron in the water sign and we will start with Cancer :)

Sincerely, Alina

I want to say right away, that The first few paragraphs will be an explanation of the things And I’ll be using some terms that perhaps not everyone is familiar with. But it needs to be done, and after that, I explain everything in a more comprehensive way.

As you know, in my articles, I often talk about esoteric traditions and wisdom and how the inner work, The Opus Magnum, is important and necessary for true understanding of self, life, your soul evolution, your transformation to what each and everyone of us is supposed to be in their own journey, which is unified within. This has nothing to do with external things. And then subsequently, you becoming less and less triggered by the influence of external events, which is the goal. Because you must take your power back to yourself and stop being this powerless being that is always dependent on external things and influences.
The temporary conjunction of the Sun and the Moon symbolizes the Sacred or Heavenly Marriage (Hieros Gamos) of the active spirit, which is represented by the solar consciousness, and the receptive form, which is lunar subconscious. This is our goal, as well as the foundation for inner transformation/rebirth/regeneration (whatever you want to call it) and subsequently physical manifestation.

Esoterically speaking, the fundamental power of subconsciousness, which is the Moon, is to store and record impressions. We have access to the storehouse of cosmic memory through this medium . The inner memories we bring with us into any incarnation, or tendencies we are developed during life, and our responses to this will be in terms of what we have developed in the past. So our lives are not determined by environment! It is precisely there where history of all the living creatures in the beginning of the manifestation are residing. We are part of the old. And we all have this knowledge deep within our subconscious, and we share it with everyone else. If we bring the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the sephira (sphere, area) that is associated with it is Yesod (literal translation from Hebrew is foundation; so, simply speaking, it represents the foundation of our reality, and the future, through which all the energies pass before manifesting in the physical world, in other words, is the link between the spiritual and material realms), which is the seat of Nephesh, the vital or animal soul of the automatic consciousness, responses, reactions, so, again, simply speaking, it represents the breath of life, a living being. So the way we see our environment in our relationship with others will constitute the patterns that eventually become manifested. This is a part of our personality complex, and particularly the training of our subconsciousness in this area of our personality that becomes challenging during our spiritual endeavors and understanding of the things. So the goal of this training is humanizing of our subconsciousness, till it becomes under our control. And we do that via another part of our consciousness, but we will talk about it next time.

Let’s look at the Sun. In your chart, it represents the fundamental purpose for which a person has entered incarnation, as well as most tendencies and what is the heart’s desire. That’s why it is related to the cardiac plexus, your heart, where the higher self, our true I, is residing. Being a part of the sacred group of planets, the Sun also assembles for the rebirth from natural humanity to spiritual humanity. This is the great work. To attain this goal, more than just a personal effort is required. In Kabbalistic three it sits in the sephira Tiphareth, which translates as beauty or glory, symbolizes our heart, our harmony, balance, and, of course, the core of ourselves.
So what happens in the solar eclipse? It’s an interaction between this conscious and subconscious. Astronomically speaking, it’s the time when the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun. So it’s your subconscious mind perfectly intercepting, or filtering, or, like I mentioned before, marrying this shining light of the conscious self. It also represents this critical point and, in a way, dark night of the soul, metaphorically speaking, because when the Moon blocks the Sun, this external world, that is visible only because of the light, is completely becoming extinguished. So it forces us to look beyond everything that is made visible by the light of the Sun and is visible to our eyes to finally find the hidden realities that are residing within us. During the solar eclipse, our attention needs to be, and actually is forced to be, turned inward. You must shed the light in your inner dark cave, Your own temple. that is the true temple, which is inside of our bodies, where the soul lives, needs to be enlightened. So eclipses reveal the hidden things, or hidden light, that is within us, that is usually missed. It is the time when great work can finally happen and everything can be unified within, which is ultimately how it is. You need to overcome this illusion of separation of the things within you. You shall unify your conscious and subconscious mind, so you will understand the reasoning behind everything that is happening in your external world. Again, I’ve already said many times that there are deeper reasons behind everything, and you need to look within, work on yourself, this is your great work, and nothing else is actually more important than that. Otherwise, again, you are just like a marionette in the hands of others, constantly getting influenced by external things, events, actions, people. So, when there is absolutely no attention to your inner world directed, you are giving your power away more and more day by day. Because you don’t know. And those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. This famous phrase comes to mind when I’m thinking about all of that. This is allegorically speaking
If we are talking about the sign of Leo, where this eclipse happens, it is very significant because this is the only sign, again, that is ruled by the Sun itself, and the Sun is at its absolute peak of strength and expression in Leo. So when solar eclipse occurs, it suggests that the Sun is being fully extinguished in its own area of leadership. So it’s not about shining brighter and reclaiming your creativity like The Whole Internet Screams. It is about necessary ego death, and this is what also indicated by the change of the lunar nodes to Leo - Aquarius axis.

Take a look: south node, which represents our past and something we need to get away from in order to evolve, is in Leo. So this subconscious personality, your pride, and so on, are completely blacked out by the subconscious Moon. So we’re turning within, and we need to realize that the personal ego and constant desire for validation and adoration is not the true source of light. This is not how you evolve in a true meaning of it. This is actually the opposite. Leo itself represents the wild, raw, untamed desire, the animal, subconscious passions operating in a physical realm. And it needs to be tamed and redirected. As the Aquarius residing across Leo, this is one of the directions towards higher good of the collective and your own soul. As I always tell you, no amount of earthly treasures has ever made anyone truly happy, harmonious, and peaceful. People always feel that they’re missing something. There are millions of examples in the world. Leo is the sign of your own personal self-expression, creativity in a real meaning of it (and not what you’ve been told creativity is) and your own divine spark. So eclipse here helps to purify your own personal motives. I always ask people, especially those who call themselves creative or artists: Are you doing that to feed your personal ego? Or Are you acting actually for the higher good of the collective and doing that in the broader, bigger sense of everything?

South node of the Moon is also our past life habits that is, it is kind of our comfort zone, and this is something that we need to move away from to mature. And I feel like that specifically in this sign of Leo, something that we all need, because it’s going to purge, drain, and strip away all these distorted expressions of Leo. So this is all interconnected, like I always say, you need to look at the bigger picture. You cannot just zoom into something and look specifically on that. What about everything else? Here we’re exposing the dependency on this external validation, praises, and this deep need to feel unique or special that is constantly being promoted right now. This is the performer archetype, which is everywhere right now. How many people are actually truly unique and real is very questionable. I have many times mentioned it’s time to stop it, take off your mask, get rid of all of these deep needs for validation from people, and your own egoistic thoughts and behavior. Because it doesn’t make anyone happy. People nowadays are trying to pull off absolutely everything, despicable things even, I would say, because they’re afraid to be perceived as ordinary and simple. I’m not gonna even go ahead and mention what is done on social media and how persistent people are trying to protect this performative behavior. On top of that, it is widely being promoted. While doing so, many betray their own morals, inner guidance and compass, their own value system, all for some clicks, likes, validation, and this fake world around them. How many people actually remember about integrity? Food for thought ;)

Everything needs to be in harmony and balanced, but for that, you cannot continue residing only in one state of being and understanding of the things. It’s like you are always stuck in the infantile position and being. It’s time to move on, to mature, to become wise, to start to reflect on what you experience and how they shaped you, to understand your own value and contribution to the higher good and collective, and, of course, evolve personally.
For people who have their Moon, Sun, nodes, I would even say Chiron in Leo, the latter one I just recently discussed in my article, will feel it more personally, in my opinion. Because these are more vulnerable placements in the overall picture here.

It is a very critical time for us all, individually and collectively, to finally shift from the self-observed story of Me to the broader contribution of We, which is the axis of Leo and Aquarius. And the timing of it couldn’t be better. Take a look at what is happening in the world in a broader sense and in your own world, your own environment. While many still thinking like, what about me? So what if it happens everywhere else? This is not how we’re going to get to anything good in life. I many times already said there is absolutely no evolution happening for quite a long time. It is the opposite, people in the world are degrading. Of course, many are waking up, but still many only know one thing, because of so many separated facts. You need to look at the bigger picture, collect things, reflect on them. This is how it always has been done. Once you understand certain things, you know that’s connected to the other thing, and it never stops, and it’s an amazing journey. You are becoming this vortex of energy. Strip of your demanding ego, which is represented by Leo (there is ruled by the consciousness, the Sun, which is pretty much means son, it’s a child, because only a child is acting this way and a spoiled one), so that your true, authentic individuality actually can be offered as a clean gift to the collective community, which is Aquarius. And I’m not saying that this axis is represented by one bad sign and one more evolved sign, but actually that they need to find a mutual ground, harmony, the golden ratio. Because both of the signs can swing. Don’t get me wrong. Many Aquarians are very egocentric and only directed on the material, physical realm and world. So everyone needs to find this mutual ground. But right now we’re going through these lunar nodes, which are representing our past and the future, so we are talking about these specific zodiac signs. We also know that Jupiter is going to be residing in the sign of Leo till July next year, as well as Pluto is continuing its journey through Aquarius, and it’s not going anywhere soon. As many planets right now have been in retrograde motion and some of the points will be added to this lineup in September, these things are literally very important to understand and be reflected upon. This is the theme for the next upcoming future.
All of it trines Saturn, which is currently retrograding in the sign of Aries, also bringing our attention to exactly the same themes of the will of power, personal identity, and the ego. There is also a trine to the Black Moon Lilith in the sign of Sagittarius, also bringing our attention to the higher mind, broader vision. With Saturn, we need to look again and ask ourselves if we are acting from this defensive ego position or actually willing to evolve beyond that and to find out the true soul purpose. In a way, it adds this much-needed structure and discipline. And Lilith needs to be free from the need to please an audience, have your own mind, which is very rare nowadays.
If we continue to add other components of this event, notable will be Mercury being in Leo, which basically, again, represents the mental ego and subconscious need to be recognized. So Jupiter, it can magnify this pride, vanity, and the demand for stage, now because the eclipse is happening, and also that south node is here, it’s kind of putting brakes on all the shenanigans, and generally speaking, also maybe in a way forcing people to stop with this performative behavior and need to convince everyone that you are the best or something else like that.

All in all, to me, it looks like an opportunity for a reset. It is our chance to do what is right and finally evolve, or at least make some steps towards that. This ego death is much needed, especially in our current day and age, and I’m talking about, again, individually and collectively.

I want to share an exercise to try on to help You to trace where your triggers are coming from, so you can work on them and finally put a piece to everything and unify yourself within Here I want to know, there’s nothing happens Right away, it’s a journey and the long one, and effort needs to be put, but the treasures You will find are priceless. Again within you :) Those are the real ones. The magic lamp of the Aladdin that has a genie Was inside of the deep cave that people are scared to enter and of course nothing and no one Noble can enter there too :)

So use this technique the moment you feel an external event trigger pride, defensive anger, or a desperate need to explain or prove yourself.

1. Stop moving or speaking the exact second you feel triggered.

2. Close your eyes. Find where the emotion lives physically in your body (e.g., tight chest, burning stomach).

3. Follow the sensation down into the dark "inner cave" of your subconscious memory.

4. Ask : "How old is this reaction?"

5. Do not look at the external person who triggered you. Look only at the automated ancient program running inside.

6. Breathe into that physical space and mentally state: "I see you, but you no longer run me."

Thank you all for reading and being a part of my circle. I hope you enjoyed this article. I apologize for some grammatical or orthographic mistakes that I made ( I start dictating in a note and then just transfer everything here :) I tried to explain everything in much more simpler ways along the article, but the beginning had to be with the use of some terms that you might not be familiar with, but it’s needed to be mentioned :) if there is something that you did not understand or need more clarification on, please do not hesitate to comment below was sure your own thoughts. I always appreciate it. If my work resonates, please follow my socials as well my Substack that I’m still growing. Almost every day I’m trying to share with you something new and interesting and we’re going to continue this journey. This week I’ll also be posting articles about Kyron in Capricorn, and Taurus.

thank you all,

Sincerely, Alina

As we continue our journey through Chiron in different zodiac signs, we got to the element of earth and we will be looking today at Chiron in Virgo.

Let’s start with the generations that have this as a natal placement. That would be July 1943 to November 1944, March 1945 to July 1945, and finally, September 1993 to September 1995.

As I’ve mentioned in a title with this specific placement there is a deep wound of not being good enough. I think this article would be beneficial for many of us since we had just passed lunar nodes in Virgo and Pisces and had to learn those lessons in order to move freely to the next stage and current lunar notes nodes of Leo and Aquarius. Perhaps at some point in childhood, a native was told that he is not so good in something, his efforts were devalued or were not good enough for people around him. And native believed. I’ve met many people with this specific placement or major positions in Virgo that have these inherited feeling that love and acceptance need to be earned by being perfect. One wrong move and they are off the pedestal or even good graces. This is why one of the main things that we know about Virgo is their attention to the details and perfectionism. We can look even at the area of our life and chart that has this zodiac sign and recognize our own similar behavior specifically there. Even without having Kyron there. So these people have deep vulnerability and thinking that there is something wrong with them perhaps, or that they have to be always useful to people in order to be accepted. Again, this is why they have this exhausting perfectionism, hypocritical tendency, worries about their health, image, body, and again inherited feeling of personal inadequacy or inability to be correct. And as with any Chiron position, we know the gift lies in the same wound. We just need to clean up this wound a little bit work on it, let it heal and the seed of the gift will finally sprout :) people who had done their work on that, can truly and selflessly help other people and also accep not only their own imperfections, but others as well.

Here Kyron is in Mercury domicile, Mercury, sign of exaltation, and in earth sign. Definitely natural overthinking and over analyzing tendencies :) we gotta understand that this hypervigilance to the details is never coming from some healthy place. Something had happened that brought up the sensitivity and now native even without sometimes realizing obsessing over the details in an unhealthy way. There is also a tension between a search for untraditional ways and then also a deep need in structure and discipline. The challenge here can be in how person uses his abilities and how he treats his wound. Because this over analyzing, overthinking, and perfectionism, attention to the details, can be incredibly powerful qualities and tools for some areas of life that truly need those. Native can see absolutely everything through the details and especially through them see the core of the problem. This helps enormously for the people who work medical field, diagnostics of any kind, psychotherapy, also in editing or engineering thing, so everywhere the fix is needed that based on some facts. This people’s mind is incredibly strong, they are able to find alternative, effective ways of work, they can optimize many ways of living and working too, they can make structure out of chaos in a way I would say. If they’re not obsessing about themselves, they also can bring another gift with them, it’s an ability to explain complex things in a simple words, they also can teach other people how to do things correctly without creating a big thing out of it. I can tell you that specific phrase is occurring in every feedback that I hear of my personal work throughout years, no matter what I do, people always tell me that I have the ability to explain something so complex and big and such simple words that other people do not feel overwhelmed and understand these concepts. I do not have Kyron in Virgo, but I have some major placements in Virgo nevertheless :) if these people worked on themselves, they can also detach themselves from the situations and look at things from above, which gives them an ability to rationally and objectively see things, without being over emotional about something. Let’s not forget Virgo’s earth sign, they observe a lot and they contain in themselves a lot, so also many of the people who have this position as well as major points in Virgo have very put together personality and image, mostly they look very reserved and serious. Not because they are like dry and unemotional, but because they’re always on alert in a sense :) they observe and watch everything and everybody, and then analyzing things inside themselves and making conclusions :) incredibly powerful people :)

As I say with every Chiron position, those who went through hurdles and certain challenges are able to help others with similar challenges in their journeys. In this specific case, if person worked on their one, he would be one who others can be around without need to be perfect all the time. These natives know what is that to live with the inner critic or in general listen criticism in an unhealthy ways and when it’s absolutely not a place for that. So they are able to provide other people opportunity to be themselves without making them feel ridiculous if they don’t know something or if they haven’t done something perfectly. But again, this is when native is conscious and aware of themselves and does the inner work. In many other cases, it can go extreme to the opposite side and they can become an attacker lol if you have Kyron in Virgo in the harmonious aspect to mercury, kudos to you, your path is going to be much softer than others in that way :) take your opportunities and do not shy or fear something, because there is a possibility also that the person just will completely withdraw in and hold everything within them and we need you In this world, so please come out :)

The main wound here revolves around the phrase: “I am not good enough.” No matter how much a person does, the inner critic constantly tells them that it is not enough, it is not right, it is not perfect, and that they need to try harder. Perfectionism is very exhausting for these people and does not allow them to enjoy what they have accomplished.

As with any other Virgo placement, the body and health are very important things here, and this can be a separate area of the wound. People may actually spend a lot of time worrying about their illnesses, criticizing their appearance, feeling that something is wrong with their body or, again, with their appearance, that something needs to be corrected, something needs to be done, that they need to change themselves in order to become some kind of ideal that they are not, because they are already perfect in their imperfection, just like all of us.

Let us remember once again that nature is not perfect, and this is exactly where all its beauty lies :) Everything that is absolutely smooth and perfect equals lifelessness and emptiness.

These people may react very painfully to other people's lightness and ease with themselves, especially to those who accept themselves as they are and who do not depend on this criticism, either internal or external. People with Chiron in Virgo need to realize that these thoughts are simply echoes of the wound, but they are not facts. If you realize this, you can become a very rare person who can help other people with the same problem, and as we know, there are a majority of such people in the world today. I also believe that you need to think about this and ask yourself: where did all of this come from specifically for you, and by whose measure of so-called goodness or perfection are you still measuring yourself? Who and what told you this at some point? You need to find this out. Without this, you will not be able to move from this point.

In Love and Relationships

In love and relationships, there could be a constant fear (even subconscious) of not being good enough for your partner. Hence, there will be constant attempts to earn love through perfection and usefulness, or through criticism of both yourself and your loved one. Again, look for yourself at where exactly this wound hit you: in your appearance, in something you said, in your ability to think, or in something else. Here, people often do not believe that they can simply be loved. And they reach an extreme where either they polish the relationship to sterility and drive the other person crazy at the same time either their love too, or they begin to look for flaws and protect themselves from intimacy. And as I said, if this placement also forms a conjunction with your Venus or Mercury, then this theme in love, about not being good enough for your partner, will sound especially acute. You need to work through all of this and understand and believe that love does not need to be earned through perfection. You are already a beautiful, whole creation of God, and you already have everything you need. There is no need to exhaust yourself over this and strive for perfection and flawlessness in everything.

Career and Profession

In career and profession, we also know that this placement is very good for people who work with others, meaning that they provide some kind of service and help to others. This is exactly why these people, because they are so sensitive to everything, can also be wonderful with animals and pets. Medicine, caring for other people, work where you need to help someone deal with pain, perhaps therapy, all of these are some of the ideal places for these people. They will find their outlet here as nowhere else. They truly understand suffering, and although initially it can be difficult because the inner critic still exists and perfectionism only gets in the way, once they work through all of this, they can become the ideal person who can understand other people and help them accept themselves as they are. The strength of this person is compassion, which has grown out of their own sense of vulnerability.

They also have the ability to understand from the inside what it means to feel like some kind of defective specimen. And once they work through themselves, they can present all of this in an appropriate way and without arrogance, and teach other people to do the same. The most important thing is to understand: where did your own demands of yourself cross the line from helping you into self-torture?

In extreme cases, intolerance toward mistakes, both your own and other people's, can absolutely interfere with their life, cooperation, and ability to relax. So it is always necessary to be conscious and honest with yourself as well. Because this kind of intolerance and criticism toward other people, and noticing some small details that are not important, can come from the fact that a person is overwhelmed by a feeling of inadequacy, even if they refuse to believe or accept it, and subconsciously want to shift everything onto others. Again, in many cases, the person does not realize this or refuses to realize it. But it is a way of protecting themselves through attack: I will attack first :) And sometimes this can already grow into a habit that does not change for years, until, again, the person takes themselves in hand and understands that they cannot live like this anymore. Many people may turn away from them, and deep down, this is something they themselves do not want.

This placement can also manifest very well if a person is involved in mentoring, sharing knowledge, or creating educational materials and methodologies for other people. It is also suitable for professions where analysis, audits, quality control, fact-checking, and identifying hidden problems are important. Because these people know how to bring order to everything and completely structure space and processes.

Working Through This Placement

In order to work through this placement, you need to learn to let go of control, and this is what the Universe has been teaching us over the past year and a half, when the lunar nodes were in Virgo and Pisces. Allow yourself to accept the possibility that good enough is already a result, rather than some kind of sentence that condemns you to endless revisions. This can drive you crazy, and you may never move from the place where you are or achieve what you want, or you may completely move away from yourself and your true self.

You can also record your progress somewhere, such as keeping a journal of achievements, or simply marking for yourself that this has already been done. You will be able to see your real contribution and the value of your work, as well as all of your achievements. Use your attention to detail not for self-flagellation, either toward yourself or others, but for improving processes. Turn criticism into a useful tool. And again, help other people. Share your experience in the format of how it actually works in practice, rather than in abstract theories. Share your perspective and share your story with those you feel it could help.

Do not keep everything inside.

Do not forget that Virgo is an Earth sign. You cannot hold everything inside for too long. But eventually, it kills you. Accept yourself again as the beautiful creation that you are. Learn to see in yourself what you see in others, and recognize your own uniqueness.

The Virgo–Pisces Axis

I also do not want to forget to mention the Virgo–Pisces axis. You need to find a balance between this disbelief in your own strength and trust in the unknown. When you give yourself a chance to do something without going crazy over the details and perfectionism, but instead feel your inner voice, follow your intuition, and trust the unknown, which is the path of Pisces, only then will you see that, apparently, everyone accepts you because you have your own unique vision of something.

If a person with this placement, or with strong Virgo placements, does not go in this direction, their health can also begin to decline, and they may naturally experience digestive problems because, metaphorically speaking, they simply cannot digest everything anymore. Virgo also rules the nervous system, so this placement often manifests as gut sensitivity due to enormous stress, health anxiety, as well as an obsession with physical wellness, as I mentioned. Pay attention to yourself in a healthy way. You need a very good structure in life, discipline, really good nutrition, and general physical exercise in order to feel your true best. Again, without obsessing, please :) and constantly comparing yourself to someone :) Let your intuition finally speak, the true one and not the ego voice or the wound voice. Your opposite sign, Pisces, is giving you all the energy for that. You just need to open your gate and accept it :) Again, I want to say that I know a huge number of people with this placement, and I have also had many clients with similar wounds. And this is exactly what our work with them has been about: accepting themselves and trusting the unknown, trusting that their work, their creation, or they themselves are already good enough in their original form. This is what ultimately helped them move from this dead point. Because a huge number of these people also have extraordinary talents, but they do not reveal them. And it is heartbreaking to look at because they carry an extraordinary depth of vision and knowledge of things within themselves.

Therefore, dear Virgos and dear people with Chiron in Virgo, please do not close yourselves off and show us all your light and your vision of the world. Help other people do the same :)

The last time this placement occurred where between January 1999 to December 2001, (except June to September 1999 ), and earlier in November 1948 to November 1951.

When you have Kyron in this archer sign, you wound centers on a deep energetic sensitivity and vulnerability surrounding your personal truth, belief system, meaning, and your right to understand the world on your own terms. If we look at this specific axis of Gemini – Sagittarius, we can see that these astrological polarity is about knowledge, perception, belief system, aspirations, and truth. Now, in this specific case, we shall discuss very interesting part that Kyron by itself is centaur as well as Sagittarius. If the first one is a philosopher, wounded healer, and a wise teacher of the heroes, Sagittarius also represents the same similar themes just without the wounded healer part. The latter one also got a name of a guru, and I think that Kyron can share the same name too. Based on that, these two are more similar to each other than perhaps any other placement of Kyron in the zodiac signs. This specific placement often triggers a deep pain of faith, exploration and perhaps that life lacking some meaning in one way or another. So these individuals usually feel vulnerable and alienated by others based on their beliefs and knowledge. The mind here due to the axis of Gemini – Sagittarius being mutable becomes very adaptable, but also could be very restless and sporadic, let’s not forget that this pair is a combination of air and fire. The individuals are usually highly intellectual, having an ability to see the bigger picture, like I always give you an example of the pilots view :) sagittarius by itself always pursuing a higher meaning, broad vision and universal philosophy. Together with Gemini, they form an axis between specific and expansive energy. So generally speaking the balance needs to be found between these two. Gemini will gather the pieces and Sagittarius will collect them and put them together into something bigger. If we look at Sagittarius by itself, this sign is very exploratory, visionary, and philosophical as I mentioned, so Kyron being here experiences the wound of the teacher or explorer, who collects the information, turns it into the wisdom, faith, or worldview. Let’s look closer at this Jupiterian position of Kyron.

Very often at some point in childhood native were disappointed in teacher, idea, perhaps even in some understanding of what’s happening, it could also be a system, including religion. And then the faith was shuttered, the pink glasses were gone. These people can experience painful disillusionment in life, belief in something bigger or in ability to rely on something. Because let’s not forget all the themes of Sagittarius are more or less foundational ones. But this disillusionment is blessing in disguise. Because only through that does the native develops their own wisdom, their own understanding of life and their own belief system. This disillusionment often happens because the native experienced a betrayal of someone who he had deeply trusted, or he generally started to think that there is nothing to believe in after those experiences because everything is around them a lie. These people could be very cynic due to that experiences, they can lose their sense of meaning, their inner guiding system, their compass in a way. Or it could happen the opposite a person desperately looking for something to believe in but this search is happening externally, so each time he is trying something he gets again disappointed. Because the work needs to be done within, and he needs to be developing his own belief system, and so on. This is his gift in a full meaning of it. People who went through that and had done the work on themselves, who passed all the three stages that I always talked about, have an immense ability to help others with similar challenges, meaning to bring their faith back and meaning of life. The true ones :) it is extremely important for these individuals to trust themselves, and also to understand that this disillusionment, disappointments are absolutely necessary, and although they experience a lot of pain because of that, inevitably it’s only for the best because it’s realigning them with their intended path. Once they decide to go that way, they find their true meaning in life. The Sagittarius archetype also naturally driven to seek truth, explore and expand their horizons, so if they had an experience of judgment, rejection or dismissal because of their own personal insights, philosophy, or version of truth by family, community or their surroundings, it makes a very strong Mark on them that they carry for quite a long time deep inside. And it’s unbearable for them. They can experience this if they speak their truth and then suddenly someone just give them some weird look, or judge them or exclude them based on that. Another manifestation happens when this native experiences that their own unique perspective is somehow fundamentally wrong or very hard to believe in. Some people will try to make you give into their ideas, or try to make you believe in what everyone else believe. But you need to be strong because you are strong and you can get through that, I promise you.

Do not suppress your inner guiding system, your ideas or your true thoughts just to stay safe. Or on the opposite don’t try to seek this external validation by forcing others to believe in something. I learned in life that everyone is on a different journey, have a different level of consciousness, maybe you are ready for something and someone else is not ready for something. No amount of forcing things will do any good, even if you intentions are. You can share your ideas, but let people to digest them and get to that themselves. Otherwise you just kind of messing with someone else’s path. Maybe they need to go through some experience in order to understand what you had already understood ? :)

These people could be great teachers, philosophers, mentors, the ones that don’t give you empty promises, telling you some fairytales that have absolutely no foundation or trying to force you to believe in something, but rather helping you to find your own way, and your own guiding system based on your own experiences. They also have a tremendous intuition and ability to put together things very fast and like I mentioned before, seeing things from a higher view, because they’ve been through everything and they don’t want others to go through similar path or even pink shattered glasses or lose themselves. Like with every Sagittarius, this specific placement also does not paint for you a pretty picture. They could be very straightforward people, serious too, or shall I say with a serious demeanor, because once you know Sagittarius, they are a bundle of joy and fun. Let’s not forget that Sagittarius itself consist of two parts of human and a horse, we can even say that the arrow that his shoots is another part of it. So it’s like a spirit, mind and body. And these people are beautifully merge all of it within them and their mutable qualities give them an adaptability to everything. Because of the experiences that they had pass through and the work that they’ve done on themselves, they usually have a pretty good sense when people lie, be it on individual or collective levels, in small or big ideas. They don’t like anything fake and artificial. Another thing I want to add here is that if your Kyron in Sagittarius is in a harmonial aspect to your Jupiter, your path from wound to your gift could go much easier. Remember once you find your own faith and belief system (usually they go through a lot of doubts, but eventually they find their way) you will gain an amazing gift to the collective, helping them to find their own path, and this is much more valuable than just baseless and thoughtless optimism of those who never lost their own guiding system. And like I always say, every hurdle in life is our steppingstone to get closer to who we truly are in our intended path. Don’t look at those who are born with a silver spoon, don’t look at the celebrities and weird influencers and talking hats on social media or TV. Specifically YOU should trust your own gut.

Before the whole work is done, I like I’ve mentioned earlier a native could be very cynic about things and it’s not baseless, it is absolutely normal reaction of someone who got disappointed or disillusioned in something. These people also can have a very strong reaction to someone else’s wholeness and faith, because the it is their trigger, they don’t have it yet. Once they reconnect with themselves, this reactivity is gone. Anything connected to the Sagittarius’s themes can sting and trigger them, for example education, foreign countries, big ideas, everything reminds them of something that they once wanted , but got stopped in the tracks because of certain experiences. Here is very important to understand the body mind connection. As I mentioned earlier, Sagittarius is a part horse, and we’re talking about the bottom part. So when Sagittarius itself, and obviously when this Kyron position is not worked on yet, it can affect their hips, because there are locomotive, so they literally stop in their tracks. And Sagittarius needs to run wild :) due to the same things the liver could be affected too, is this is in another organ that’s could be affected by Sagittarius. If that’s your placement, you should ask yourself if you still have something that you need to work on in your guiding system, I’m talking about the inner one. What can you see bigger in your past painful Experiences , where you can find the meaning in what happened to you? This is your wisdom.

In love and relationship, the wound is in distrust to the future and the words of the partner. You know with so many disappointments, It’s very hard for these people to believe promises, even if they really want, it’s really hard for them to build mutual plans and all in that matter, because they always think that they could be lied to again. And now they know that it can come even from a close people., So this is why they need a lot of freedom too, as I told you, they need to run wild. Do not stop your Sagittarius. Otherwise, they will run away from you :) this freedom loving people desire love and happiness, but can be very cynic about it and can run away from you just because of that, again the memories of past painful experiences. If Your Chiron in Sagittarius is making a conjunction to Venus or Jupiter, themes of trust to the future and love will be truly relevant to you. You’re healing path in this specific areas of your life is to let yourself to believe again, do you understand that anything is possible, but also that your previous experiences do not dictate your future ones. Do not bring this baggage with you everywhere. You need to sit and unpack first and then travel light, otherwise you won’t be able to run wild and explore everything as you like :)

In career, as I mentioned, these people could be incredible teachers, philosophers, mentors, and in general those people who share and work with faith and with the world view. It can be also not really comfortable in the beginning, remember past painful experiences are coming up if you did not unpack your baggage, disbelief that something big is possible for you is also right around the corner. But you are very strong, Sagittarius are incredibly strong people, the merge of all three, spirit, mind, and body makes these people very enduring to majority of external things that life throws at them.

So let’s talk about the healing path for them. My dear Kyron is Sagittarius people, reclaim your inner compass, you should finally recognize that your own personal beliefs does not need to be validated or understood by anyone else for that matter in order to work for you and be real. Learn to assert yourself and take care of your own energetic field, do not anbsorb other people believe systems, their negative reactions or judgment towards you and your big ideas. Let yourself make mistakes, only then you will learn things, it is OK to be wrong and then realize something else. This is how life and knowledge is actually happening. We did not arrive to this world and right away started to walk, we fall many times before we learn it :) your own unique perspective, and lens that you view things through are absolutely valid parts and actually essential parts of your soul and your life’s journey. If you are interested in something, and want to find truth, go for it, this is how you strive in life :) remember the balance of Gemini and Sagittarius needs to be found. Don’t spread yourself too thin and shoot your arrow very high, you will achieve absolutely anything and everything ;) share your amazing gift with others and have faith in yourself :)

Thank you everyone for reading this article and for being a part of my circle. We are done with the fire Elements and will be moving to Earth Elements. Since I had done a tremendous article on Chiron in Taurus before, we will not be going over this position again and will be moving straight to Virgo :) but I will repost that article or provide you a link, depending on where you will find that post :)

Please do not hesitate to share your opinions, thoughts, or any comments. I’m always eager to talk to you and answer your questions. Again, I appreciate you all and wishing you a beautiful weekend.

The last time this placement occurred were between July 22, 1991 to September 4, 1993  with a brief earlier appearance from September 29, 1940 to January 27, 1941 (with retrogrades back into Cancer), as well as from June 18, 1941 to July 27, 1943. And I want to know here, current lunar nodes of Leo - Aquarius as well as Jupiter residing in Leo till the next July will activate this area of your life once again.

For this specific placement, the wound is connected with the right to shine, be uniquely you, and freely and fully express yourself. Perhaps during the childhood a native has been told at some point that he shouldn’t try to be different, that this is wrong, that his unique traits or talents are not really valuable or not deserving of attention of any kind. These things therefore could lead to the native "extinguishing their own light" and becoming afraid to show their talents or express themselves freely. Just like with other fire elements, this position is not an easy one, because there is a clash of elemental characteristics. The axis of Leo and Aquarius represents the tension between the individual ego and the collective. It’s like one wrong move and you off the balance. And both signs are pretty strong, and let’s also consider the fact that Leo by itself it’s a fixed energy as well as Aquarius, so it’s not an easy task to transform this wound or even direct yourself towards that sometimes. Let’s do not forget that Leo often focuses on personal identity, self expression, and individual creativity, but all of that must be balanced also with overall collective consciousness, and the greater good. On top of that Leo operates through heart, and has a heated personality, so it becomes a challenge in a way to calm yourself down in order to understand everything and pass through that. The overall qualities of the fixed modality are deeply stubborn, and resistant to sudden changes.

The key traits and core themes of this placement can include:

-the childhood wound of unheard expression where native experienced dismissal of his own thoughts, creative efforts, or unique personality, like Ive mentioned earlier. There could be a feeling that your opinions did not matter to the people around you, people could not or chose not to listen to you, or they failed to even take you seriously in one way or another. All of which pretty painful to the fragile mind of a child

-disconnection from your own unique light, I’ve already said that Leo is avery grandiose personality, and there is an inherited need or desire to leave a personal signature on the world through its own creative outlets. So that could be a development of coping mechanism where a person just diminish their own light in order to avoid their pain, or he could also experience this anxiety when others actually hear his voice, read his ideas or look at his creative inputs. It is also stems from a subconscious fear that you are not worth loving. I want to note specifically here, that I did meet years ago a person who actually born with a lot of Leo placements but they also were on the bridge between Cancer and Leo zodiac signs, and this was their specific trait. Internally they wanted recognition, but then when someone would give them that, they would be totally in anxiety for some reason.

-obviously, one of the most prominent traits here is seeking external validation. A native can also constantly going in their mind and wonder if a lack of attention equals no value, and there could be times one will try too hard to perform for love, validation, or recognition. This could get to the point of betrayal of ones own values, morals, and integrity, which then leads to very sad consequences eventually.

So all in all, it’s like a game of hide and seek. Native either keeps all of his talents to himself, consequently devaluing himself, or experience this deep dependence on external validation, and taking every indifference very closely to the heart, which is coincidentally the organ associated with Leo :) so we can already understand that things can be very emotional here, with a dose of reactivity, of course :) fire element :)

And if we’re talking about painful or emotional reactivity, we also need to mention that there is a possibility that this will be directed on someone else success and shine, for example, towards people who were admired by many for one reason or another, because it basically touches the same wound that the native was not noticed for, which is his own light. And that would be a mistake to go towards the path to seek this external validation, the wound will become even deeper, because then the native will get further and further away from their true self. You do not need applause from everyone, rather just to heal your own true self and finally accept yourself for who you are. One of the biggest gifts here is ability to see, and also help others with their own unique traits and talents. Here I want to give you an example of someone that I know personally with this placement who became a very successful agent and helped many become stars that we all know :)

In love and relationships native could experience deep fear that he wouldn’t be admired, that he’s not good enough, bright enough, beautiful enough for the partner. It leads to a constant need to seek external validation or an opposite, native constantly devaluing themselves in order to be accepted. Deep seated vulnerability also could make native to believe that he will be laugh at or ridiculed if he will truly show himself.

If Chiron is conjunct your Venus or Sun, then the topic of declaring love will be especially relevant for you. And here, healing lies in allowing yourself to shine with your partner or in other relationships, without asking or expecting permission. Of course, everything within reason :)

In terms of career, this placement could be very successful in any type of profession connected to art, creativity to and helping others to develop their own talents and shine bright like a diamond :) you see, the balance needed to be find in this axis of Leo and Aquarius, and attention need to be not only shifted, but understood, lived through and realized that the greater good and your immense ability of helping others with similar issue are much more important than personal ego and passing validation from others. Here I will give you an example of another person who had always we’re seeking a validation from the external world since Ive known them, and always were complaining that they do not receive enough, simultaneously saying that they’re just do everything for everybody and they’re so amazing and so talented themselves and all about look at me. And when I asked them was that everything that they do directed only to feed their own ego or truly help other people and teach them something, the native got mad but eventually learned very hard way that that was not the way to go through that. Because the wound will never heal this way and they will never find this kind of validation using their old ways, counting on some admiration and applause. The harmony and peace will not be achieved. Remember, I also told you about three stages that we go through. So again in terms of career, these people become incredibly successful if they turning metaphorical lights above other people heads with similar issues. They also great with working with kids and helping them in this path. It can be hard to start but inevitably once a native face their own fears, he will become this shining and guiding star for others :) because he went through this experience, he can see the pure light and spark in others, even if they don’t see that themselves. Ask yourself where you are shy about showing what you can do better than others, if that still exists :)

Going back to the axis of Leo - Aquarius, the integration happens when you are offering your unique, creative gifts to the collective without needing everyone to revolve around your ego, while still remaining an individual inside a group or community. Your healing lies in honoring your own unique flavor, recognizing that your light is entirely distinct from anyone else’s and it’s completely normal. Shift your focus from seeking this external validation to actively see, validating, and loving your own self and helping others, which will bring you an enormous happiness., believe me you won’t need this external validation any longer. :) You should understand that the pain is an unavoidable part of life, as I always say that only by going through these painful experiences do we get an understanding, and wisdom and dimming your own light will not protect you from this pain.

That’s all for today and I hope you guys enjoyed it. As always, please share your thoughts and stories. I appreciate all of your contribution and being a part of my circle :)

Please follow my socials as well as Substack, if my work resonates :) wishing you all beautiful Thursday and tomorrow I will be discussing Chiron in Sagittarius :)

Le Sphaerae Coelestis et Planetarum, or De Sphaera (“The Spheres of the Heavens and the Planets”), also referred to simply as De Sphaera, is one of the most elaborate illuminated manuscripts created in Renaissance Italy. Cristoforo de Predis, the presumed illustrator of the codex, was a disciple of Leonardo da Vinci. De Sphaera is a 24 by 17 cm manuscript, richly decorated with twelve different colors and gold leaf. The pages are elaborately embellished with images of the zodiac signs and human representations of the Sun, Moon, and the first six planets of the solar system, excluding Earth. Each of these representations appears on the left page, while the right page displays an image of daily life corresponding to the astrological significance of the planet. These scenes include detailed depictions of all aspects of society, including peasants, beggars, merchants, criminals, disabled people, and the elite. Let’s look at each and every one of them. (I will include a description in a separate caption for each image, so just slide and read. 😊)

Sol, or the Sun, with Leo as the only zodiac sign ruled by this “planet.” The Sun is depicted as the absolute monarch and ruler of this realm, holding a book in one hand, most likely representing the cosmic codex, and a scepter in the other, representing rulership. At the bottom of the image, we see how this energy manifests in our physical realm. I see it as a depiction of some of the activities associated with the sign of Leo and the energy of the Sun itself, meaning vital force, power, the archetype of youth, and renewed energy.

Luna, or the Moon, with Cancer as the only zodiac sign ruled by this luminary. As much as it can be associated with feminine energy, we also need to understand that it is associated with procreation, gestation, ancestors, and life itself, the womb. She holds a horn in one hand, most likely symbolizing the phases of the Moon, and a flaming torch in the other, illuminating the night. She also stands on wheels, perhaps representing the wheel of life. Associated with waters of every kind, we see her manifestation in the physical realm through ships arriving at the shore. I would also say that this symbolizes new life arriving.

Mercury holds the caduceus in one hand and a small bag in the other. Esoterically, the caduceus represents harmony between two opposites and the polarity of duality, qualities associated with the sign of the Twins, Gemini. Since it also appears next to the sign of Virgo, the other zodiac sign ruled by Mercury, it can also be associated with medicine, health, and life itself, all traditional attributes of Virgo. In the other hand, we see the bag positioned above the sign of Gemini, which could symbolize the merchant qualities traditionally associated with this zodiac sign. Around Mercury’s feet, we see the familiar wings that represent intelligence as well as the remarkable speed of this planet. At the bottom, we see Mercury’s manifestation in the human realm. I would say it depicts a variety of skills and occupations that also reflect Mercury’s attributes. We also see people bringing food, along with a dog. These are additional symbols connected with Virgo, which is associated with nutrition, daily life, service, and pets.

Venus with the two zodiac signs she rules, Taurus and Libra. In one hand, we see a mirror, which I would associate with Libra because the essence of Libra is seeing your higher self reflected through another person and through relationships. As I always say, other people are our reflection in one way or another. In the other hand, Venus holds flowers, which are associated with Taurus as an Earth sign that loves nature. They also symbolize fertility, springtime, and new beginnings. The floral headband carries the same meaning. The manifestation of this planet, as we see at the bottom of the image, brings harmony, artistic talents, music, beauty, and relationships with others. Generally speaking, the purpose of Venus is to bring harmony.

Mars with the two zodiac signs he rules, Scorpio and Aries. He holds a sword pointed downward in one hand and a battle standard in the other. As much as we associate Mars with primal, raw, and masculine energy, esoterically it symbolizes the sharpening of willpower, targeted focus, and the deliberate direction of raw force to create order out of chaos. This reflects the transformative power of Scorpio. At the same time, the red color of Mars’ body is strongly associated with the raw vitality, courage, and ambition that are traditional attributes of Aries. At the bottom of the image, we see the physical manifestation of Mars, commonly associated with warfare, conflict, chivalry, courage, and territorial defense.

Jupiter with the two zodiac signs he rules, Sagittarius and Pisces. In one hand, he carries arrows, which I associate with higher understanding, vision, and the exploratory nature of Sagittarius. In the other hand, he holds a scepter, representing his rulership over the spiritual realm. Jupiter is depicted here as a youngster. His manifestation in the physical realm is expansion. We see life flourishing, with an abundance of everything, which is the highest expression of Jupiter’s energy.

And finally, Saturn with the two zodiac signs he rules, Capricorn and Aquarius. If you didn’t know, Saturn has long been associated with the Golden Age of humanity, a time when life was harmonious and abundant in every sense. Yet Saturn also represents both endings and beginnings. The sickle in his hand gives him agricultural symbolism, reminding us that everything has its season. Every ending is inevitably followed by a new beginning. Once again, we encounter the eternal cycle of life.

Saturn is the origin of everything. He is strict and disciplined, wise and ancient. The signs he rules reflect these qualities in different ways. Capricorn expresses Saturn’s structured, disciplined, patient energy and is more closely oriented toward the physical realm. Aquarius, by contrast, represents a younger and more rebellious expression of Saturn. It is associated with divine intelligence, innovation, and collective renewal. For something new to emerge, something else must come to an end. Only in darkness can we recognize the light, and only by knowing the light can we truly understand the darkness.

Chiron in Aries

I believe we are pretty familiar with this specific placement, as we have spent the past eight years experiencing it, and it’s not over yet. As Chiron stationed retrograde today at 0° Taurus, it will eventually regress into Aries on September 18, 2026, then turn direct in January 2027, but remain in Aries until April 14, 2027, bringing our attention once again to the themes associated with this sign. People who were born between April 1968 and March 1977 have experienced, and will again experience, their Chiron return.

Let’s just start by saying that this is not an easy placement, generally speaking. The wound here lies in self-worth and identity. The vulnerability is connected with the right to be yourself, to show yourself and take initiative, to be assertive, to freely express your desires, and to act.

Aries is the first zodiac sign, associated with the pure energy of action. As we always say, it is very raw energy. There is spontaneity and a desire to be first. Chiron in this sign creates inner tension and conflict. On one hand, it gives the native a very strong impulse to act, but on the other, it creates a fear of making mistakes, being judged, or being rejected for being assertive.

Often, in childhood or adolescence, a person received messages such as, “Don’t stick your neck out,” “Don’t be too loud,” or “Wait your turn,” which formed an internal resistance to their own natural drive. At some point, they were likely told, or made to feel, that their drive, desires, and courage were somehow wrong. And the native learned to believe it.

If we’re talking about the expression of this placement, it could include the following:

• Fear of one’s own anger and assertiveness. A person may feel that their desires are not welcome and that taking initiative leads to conflict.

• Contradictory reactions. Either suppression of desire and avoidance of conflict or, conversely, excessive aggression that masks old pain.

• Imposter syndrome. Even after achieving success, a person can feel like a fraud, undeserving of their place.

• A painful reaction to someone else’s power. A person sees in others what they do not allow themselves to see or be within themselves, which can result in envy, competitiveness, or avoidance.

• Difficulty starting new projects. Procrastination, fear of failure, and a tendency to give in to others to avoid stress.

I’m sure you recognize that, over the past eight years, we have all experienced these expressions of Chiron in Aries in one way or another. And beware, it’s coming back again in September. :)

In love and relationships

A person may find it difficult to be the first to show interest. Beneath this often lies a fear of rejection and old memories or unconscious beliefs that they are not allowed to want or desire.

Sometimes this appears as passive waiting, expecting the other person to make the first move. At other times, it manifests as excessive assertiveness, where a person masks their vulnerability by coming on too strongly.

The gift emerges when this wound is approached consciously. Such a person develops a remarkable sensitivity to another person’s insecurity and learns how to support someone else’s right to desire without overwhelming or pressuring them.

If you have Chiron in Aries making a significant aspect to your Venus or Mars, the theme of courage in intimacy is likely to be especially important in your life. Your healing lies in giving yourself permission to want openly and no longer seeing your desires as something to feel guilty about.

Such people often attract partners with suppressed wills, helping them break this cycle. This is a projection of their own healing process.

Career and finances

In a career, Chiron in Aries provides a powerful but unstable impulse. Periods of productivity and breakthrough ideas can alternate with phases of apathy and uncertainty. Money often comes from overcoming a crisis, taking risks, or helping others launch projects.

Natives with this placement can experience difficulties in competitive environments, where one needs to be active and assertive, because old memories rise to the surface almost immediately. But it is precisely by going through these experiences that they can emerge fully transformed.

So ask yourself: In what area ( if there is still one ) of your life are you still waiting for permission from others?

The shadow side

When this energy is distorted, destructive patterns and behaviors are quite possible, such as passive aggression, where dissatisfaction builds up and eventually erupts into uncontrollable outbursts of anger; self-sabotage, where the mindset of “I’m not worthy of this” appears just as the goal is within reach; and overcompensation, an attempt to prove one’s strength through excessive rigidity, aggressive behavior, or the desire to dominate others.

The path to healing and the gift of the wound

As I told you, the paradox of Chiron is that the wound never completely heals, but it is precisely this that gives us the gift of sensitivity. A person remains attentive throughout life to the themes of strength and weakness, both their own and those of others.

If, for example, you have Chiron in Aries in a harmonious aspect to Mars or the Sun, the path from wound to gift will be shorter. Having mastered your own courage, you become the one who ignites it in others, and this is much more valuable than the effortless confidence of those who were simply born with every advantage.

Healing consists of gradually restoring trust in your own drive and understanding that your right to exist and express yourself requires no justification. Here, a person learns to act not out of fear, but from inner alignment, and stops trying to prove their right to exist.

The power that arises from this wound is the ability to help others find courage. Those who have overcome the fear of expressing themselves understand timid and reserved people better than anyone and know how to support them.

Such a person can become a mentor, coach, or leader who doesn’t pressure others but instead awakens their own strength.

As I usually tell you, the stages of healing consist of three parts:

1. Becoming aware of the pain, recognizing the denial of one’s right to anger, the desire to be first, and one’s vulnerability.

2. Moving from reactive aggression and powerlessness to conscious action.

3. Using one’s own experience to help others gain confidence.

The image above is Saint John the Baptist (or San Juan Bautista), a Baroque masterpiece created before 1613 by the Spanish artist and Dominican friar Juan Bautista Maíno.

Everything that I’m sharing with you are my own personal thoughts, researches, endless studies, experiences, observations, and knowledge that were gained through all my life again by studying, experiencing, Observing, integrating, transforming and so on. I also want to remind you that English is not my first language, and I do speak 4 different languages, so if I make mistakes, please forgive me. I do write long articles, I have a lot of thoughts in my head and knowledge in my mind. I come also from a lineage of writers and people heavily invested in literature, literators so this is in my genes. I have been published many times in different countries, I’ve translated books professionally on and for esoteric authors, masons, members of the certain evolutionary societies and more.

The reason why I’m telling you this is because I’ve experienced one hater online Who tried to mess with my day today. And it came from someone who barely writes and does not have any foundation for anything. And all I want to do is to help people to understand themselves better, and to share how you can transform your life or rather get back to your true self, back to the roots and embrace who you truly are with the help of Astrology in your own personal map, which is your birth chart. Thank you for listening to this, I apologize for venting, but I also can be sensitive and vulnerable sometimes :)

So what is Kyron in Astrology in your natal chart. Kyron Shows the place in your chart where you Are disconnected in one way or another from yourself. It is a place of total vulnerability and feeling of complete defenseless in the front of the world.  The seed of Kyron is definitely lays in your childhood. But it grows throughout your life, eventually spreading his branches in every area of it, if you won’t to be aware enough.

If we get back for a second to mythology of Kyron, we understand, where all this coming from.

Take a look, the father of Kyron Kronos, or Saturn transform himself into a horse to have these intercourse with the nymph Phylira , also in a different version. Kronos transformed her into a mare instead of himself, or she transformed herself to get away from him. So when Kyron was born, his mother rejected him because of his looks, and because of the experience she had prior his birth with Kronos. She casted him away and begged God to transform her into something else besides human form, so she became a Linden tree.

Left completely orphaned by both his fleeing father and rejecting mother, the infant Chiron was rescued by the sun god Apollo and his twin sister Artemis. Apollo fostered Chiron, teaching him music, archery, prophecy, and medicine to help him rise above his beast-like nature. Because Chiron converted the immense pain of his parental rejection into wisdom, he grew up to become the revered "Wounded Healer" and the legendary mentor to Greece's greatest heroes, including Achilles and Jason.

So how does it all fit and make sense in your own birth chart? Kyron Shows this exact same story of rejection and inherited wound associated with it for each and every one of us. In many of my previous articles I’ve shared with you that everything goes in a stages, first there is a reaction and victim story, then one can become an offender too, but the highest version and path is to become your own healer and the healer for others who experience the same things or similar to yours. In one way or another, this is our mission.

Kyron shows us the area where we are afraid to be different, but at the same time, this is a necessary point that brings our attention inward eventually and hopefully, and it requires deeper understand as well as acceptance of oneself, what makes you differ from other others, your own unique traits, qualities or anything else for that matter.

No, the reason for these feeling like I’ve said it could be a rejection, experience of being unseen or feeling misunderstood, believing that by being our self, we won’t be accepted in this strange society. All that leads to separation from your own nature in order to get some validation from weird people around you who don’t know or see anything besides themselves. Native feels not enough, not belonging anywhere, being ridiculed for something or once again not accepted for just being simply who he is. Eventually, it can lead to a very sad consequences if awareness and understanding does not come on time or if ONE does not receive support, explanation or help with that from someone else. Which then again eventually shall lead to his own understanding because other than that, he will always be running circles in this samsara cycle.

I don’t believe that this wound eventually disappears, but I do believe that we were not meant to sit with this same feeling in the same understanding to the rest of our life. Anything in life can be transformed whether for the good or for the bad it depends on the native. So with this specific placement, the process of working on one Cell becomes quite complicated and many people refuse to do so or reject even that although this is the only key to unlock this lock. That’s why Kyron has a glyph of a key, the key that can unlock any door. But first you need to find that key in the darkness of your own cave, your inner world.

There is a beautiful Russian tale, which is similar to the Pinocchio, but calls The Golden Key or Adventures of Buratino, where the main character must find the key for that hidden door. From a psychological perspective, Buratino's journey is a profound metaphor for finding oneself, unlocking inner potential, and discovering one's true destiny. This is an allegory for the journey to find your the golden key to your own soul and therefore unlock your lock.

The journey begins with the painted fireplace on the old canvas, which represents the illusions, false expectations, and superficial beliefs we carry through life. To find our authentic path, we must look past the surface and pierce through this canvas of illusion. The reason why I’m sharing this specific part with you is because if one is not integrating and advancing his understanding of his wound, he will remain in prisoner for a long time, believing only the illusory world and shiny things, that only like that on the surface. Pretty much like our current world, entertainment, industry, fashion or anything else for that matter that being heavily pushed on masses. Scratch a little bit and you will see how everything is so fake and rotten inside. The real gold is not shining right away. You must find it. And metaphorically speaking your part of Gold, your fortune, your treasure is within you. For that you need to unlock your own key.

The golden key represents self-awareness, inner strength, and truth. This is not something that you can just go and buy with the money for someone to give it to you, or steal it. It is actually earned through life's trials, making mistakes, and maintaining a brave, pure heart. Finally, opening the secret door inside the humble home symbolizes the ultimate breakthrough: discovering that the answers we seek are not in distant lands, but already within us. By unlocking this door, we break free from the strings of external manipulation, step into our true potential, and become the directors of our own destiny.

We must also understand that all this life hurdles are not just being thrown at you for nothing just to make your life harder. Everything is a part of a bigger plan. Each and one of us have the power to transform their life, by transferring themselves, by transforming their own in the world, understanding of things, and raising their consciousness from the lower energy centers and animalistic behavior and world. Until then one will experience different expressions of Kyron and suffering will only increase with years, making one’s life, not only more complicated, but also forcing some people to take completely different steps in order to avoid that deep and unsettling, feeling inside of them of not belonging, being rejected, ridiculed, and left by everyone who ever mattered in the beginning.

Without even saying anything, obviously we understand that each and one of us passed it. But like I said, we always have a choice to say no this is not how the day is going to end, and choose ourselves in a healthy sense not in some egoistic and stupid meaning that has been promoted for quite some time. ONE does not need to become a an antagonist now, but rather be so grand to actually observe, understand and release this, knowing that all of these experiences actually shaped who they are and push them to understand certain things, and now they are able to help others if they need so in the similar challenges. Depending on the house and zodiac sign, you have your Kiron sit, we can see the area of your life that will be affected and how it will be affected by this placement.

Again in the lower expression, a native will be repeating the same patterns, doing the same old mistakes, feeling the same old way, reacting from past experiences and memories, which only triggers if something familiar occurs once again, protecting himself from this imagined sometimes attacks or shall I say anticipated attacks, but the more importantly, avoiding in always possible that specific area that brings pain but where growth and evolution are possible. This place of sensitivity eventually shall and will become your greatest place of understanding. If ONE has his Kyron strongly activated in the chart he may develop greater compassion for others who experienced similar situations and I’m sure you can find in your many examples where you experienced something like that. Integrated version of Kyron also brings deeper self awareness, the ability to guide, teach, and support others, as well as obvious wisdom gain through the experiences.

I always tell my friends, relatives, clients, and obviously I did the work with myself were you must talk to yourself and you are not crazy. If you are not able to honestly and openly have a conversation with yourself and admit things instead of just reacting and being in defense mode and avoiding ulcer responsibility, you won’t go to fine life, meaning in your happiness, soul in general harmony and peace. Believe you me, I work with people from high hierarchy of entertainment business, media in general, it is extremely rare to find one who is happy with all the money that they made. The essential part the golden thread is missing. That’s why like I said, not any amount of any shiny things will replace you in the work, your own opus Magnum, polish your own philosophical stone and make it a diamond that is your treasure not that physical money.

So I got distracted a little bit, but what I was going to say is that these hurdles and experiences are absolutely necessary for you to become who you were meant to be and leave the life that you are meant to leave. You must look into this darkness with the open eyes and you shall find an answer eventually. I promise you. This experiences shapes who you are, without them you wouldn’t have compassion or understanding of certain things, of the world, of the people in most importantly of yourself. But you must be courageous and brief enough to open up, and to open your chest fully and actually embrace all of that instead of hiding inside and trying to fit the puzzle that cannot fit into the whole picture.

The zodiac sign of chiron describes you the nature of your wound and again the house in what area of your life it will manifest. Since we are in transit in Kyron in Taurus, let me tell you that this specific placement brings wound around self-worth, values, foundation, ability to provide for oneself, to strongly stand on its own feet, environment and relationship with your body. For that, I also recommend you to read or to listen to my podcast on this specific subject Chiron in Taurus , which extremely informative and deep.

You don’t need to be in Astrology to read it, it is pretty comprehensible language. We had just passed Kyron and Aries and we will get back to this in September when transiting Kyron will regress and go back to the 26° of aries. In these zodiac sign, the wounds are associated with one’s identity, boundaries, assertiveness, independence, and courage in a way, to actually confidently be who you are without people pleasing, which is the opposite sign of libra.

The latter sign suffers a lot from that, they need to find balance to be brave enough to embrace their own identity instead of being a chameleon for everybody and forgetting themselves.

Libra people often get frustrated because of that, and I completely understand them. And I can tell you honestly it is extremely hard for them. But it is possible. generally speaking each sign Experience pretty much the same path moving from separation to integration, but just with different colors and expression. This wound does not need to stay with you forever in the same mode, it must be transformed.

The simple example is that any physical wound let’s say that ONE received in a battlefield, but survived, the wound does not go anywhere, but it heals within some time. But the scar of the wound will Forever shape that person and remind them of the experience they pass so they will not forget, it shapes their character, their personality, the way they being in the world and being with themselves. But it does not go anywhere. It stays with you as a reminder of the metaphorical battles that you pass yourself with the courage, you had to withheld everything and not to be broken down and become a senseless, ignorant self.

Thank you so much for Taking time to read or listen to this article, you know I’m always incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. Please share your opinions, ask questions and so on I’m always here to answer. If my work resonates, Please consider supporting it. And tomorrow we will continue discussing Kyron through zodiac signs.

P.S. one more thing I want to add about Russian fairytale that have mentioned, the main character was also kind of rejected character, he was a wooden doll just like a Pinocchio, so in a way he was already also different just like a Kyron himself. And just also for you to know, I’ve done a few years back a huge work for metaphorical meaning of the different Fairytales, so if you are interested, I can also share with you or start sharing with you more of these. Because specifically in those stories, as well as myths, folklore and more the main things of life are hidden. It just seems that they’re for kids, but they hold an incredible pot and see for each and everyone of us. The deeper meaning, the secret is always hidden there.

** also, please comment below if you want me to go ahead and dedicate article separately for Kyron through different zodiac signs or put them all together, or we can combine them in groups. I’m just wondering which way is going to be more beneficial or better readable I guess.

Thank you again and have a great Thursday :)

I’ve been studying Chiron for many years and besides working on my own natal placement, healing, understanding and integrating, I also help many people to do the same. Now, I want you to understand that Chiron is one of the most important placement for an individual that want to rise up, evolve, and pass that basic wounded version of themselves. With that being said, I’ve been thinking that it’s a great idea to start a current Chiron series which will explain many things about it, especially since transiting Chiron is about to station retrograde next week in Taurus, as well as regressing back to areas once again in September. So without further ado let’s begin our journey :)

Chapter 1

The Discovery of Chiron: The First Centaur

On November 1, 1977, astronomer Charles Kowal made a discovery that would introduce a completely new archetype into modern astrology. While observing the skies at Palomar Observatory in California, Kowal identified an unusual celestial object located between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus. Initially classified as an asteroid and given the temporary designation 1977 UB, the object was later named Chiron, after the wise centaur from Greek mythology.

However, Chiron did not fit neatly into any existing astronomical category. Unlike the asteroids located primarily between Mars and Jupiter, Chiron followed an unusual elliptical orbit that crossed the region between Saturn and Uranus. Further observations revealed that it also displayed characteristics similar to comets, leading astronomers to recognize it as the first discovered member of a new class of objects known as centaurs: celestial bodies traveling between the outer planets.

The discovery of Chiron expanded the boundaries of how humanity understood the solar system. It introduced an object that occupied a unique position, moving through a region that had not previously been explored by astronomy.

Its location immediately captured the attention of astrologers because it appeared at a symbolic threshold between the traditional planetary system and the newly discovered outer planets. The traditional planets known to ancient astrologers ended with Saturn, the final visible planet representing the limits of the known world: structure, time, responsibility, boundaries, and the physical realities that shape human experience. Beyond Saturn was Uranus, discovered in 1781 with the development of the telescope, marking a turning point in humanity’s understanding of the cosmos.

Chiron’s arrival between these planetary realms introduced a new symbolic layer into astrology. It suggested a process that connects established structures with emerging possibilities, creating a new way to understand growth, healing, and human development.

The timing of Chiron’s discovery was also significant. The late 1970s were a period of major cultural and psychological change. Society was increasingly exploring new approaches to consciousness, personal development, alternative healing, and humanity’s relationship with the universe. The discovery coincided with a growing collective interest in psychology, spirituality, holistic medicine, and the search for meaning beyond traditional systems.

From an astrological perspective, the appearance of new celestial bodies often corresponds with the emergence of new collective themes. Just as Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto introduced new dimensions to astrological interpretation after their discoveries, Chiron brought attention to experiences that required a different symbolic language: vulnerability, healing, initiation, and the integration of personal experience.

The fact that this new celestial body appeared during such a transformative period became part of its symbolism. A new archetype entered human awareness at a time when humanity was beginning to explore deeper questions about consciousness, identity, and personal evolution.

Chiron became the first known member of the centaur class, representing a new category of objects within the solar system. Its discovery marked the beginning of a deeper exploration into the relationship between human experience, suffering, growth, and consciousness.

It arrived as a reminder that evolution often begins when humanity encounters something it does not yet fully understand. Chiron opened a new chapter in astrology, introducing an archetype dedicated to the journey from experience toward awareness.

Chapter 2

What Is Chiron Astronomically? The Celestial Bridge Between Saturn and Uranus

To understand the symbolism of Chiron, we first need to understand its unusual place within our solar system. Chiron is classified as a centaur object, a group of small celestial bodies that orbit between the region of the outer planets. It follows an elliptical orbit that takes it between Saturn and Uranus, crossing the paths of both planets over the course of its journey.

This astronomical position is what makes Chiron unique. It does not belong entirely to the familiar realm of the traditional planets, nor does it fully reside within the distant domain of the outer planets. Its movement through this transitional zone became the foundation for one of the most important symbolic meanings associated with Chiron: the ability to connect different realms of experience.

In astrology, Saturn represents the principles of form, structure, boundaries, responsibility, and time. It governs the systems that create order and stability in human life: our commitments, limitations, social structures, inherited patterns, and the lessons gained through experience.

Saturn teaches through reality. It shows us what requires patience, discipline, and maturity. Without Saturn, ideas remain ungrounded and growth lacks the structure needed to become sustainable. However, Saturn can also represent rigidity when established forms continue to exist after they have fulfilled their purpose.

Uranus represents a different principle entirely. As the first planet discovered beyond Saturn, Uranus expanded humanity’s understanding of the solar system and symbolically represented the breaking of previous boundaries.

Astrologically, Uranus is associated with innovation, awakening, liberation, individuality, disruption, and new perspectives. It challenges established patterns and introduces possibilities that were previously impossible to imagine.

Where Saturn preserves, Uranus transforms. Where Saturn creates structure, Uranus seeks freedom. These two forces represent different stages of development: the wisdom gained from experience and the impulse to move beyond what has become limiting.

Chiron’s orbit between Saturn and Uranus creates a symbolic relationship between these two principles. It shows that evolution does not happen through rejecting the past completely or remaining attached to it indefinitely. Growth requires an understanding of what has shaped us while also allowing space for new awareness to emerge.

The wisdom of Saturn and the awakening of Uranus work together through the Chiron archetype. The structures we inherit, the experiences we carry, and the limitations we encounter can become sources of insight when approached consciously.

On a psychological level, this reflects a fundamental human experience. Every person carries patterns, beliefs, and experiences formed through family, culture, society, and personal history. These influences create the foundation from which we develop.

At the same time, every individual contains the impulse toward growth, authenticity, and self-discovery. There is a part of us that seeks to question, evolve, and express something uniquely our own.

Chiron represents the process of bringing these two realities into relationship. It asks us to examine what has shaped us, understand its meaning, and transform our experiences into greater awareness.

The question Chiron presents is not simply, “How do I escape what has shaped me?” The deeper question is: “How can I transform what has shaped me into wisdom?”

The significance of Chiron’s astronomical position lies in this integration. It reveals that development is not a rejection of the past or an escape into the future. Instead, it is the conscious relationship between experience and evolution.

Through Chiron, astrology gained a symbol for the process of turning awareness into healing and experience into understanding. Its place between Saturn and Uranus reflects a fundamental human journey: learning from what has come before while remaining open to what is yet to emerge.

Chapter 3

Chiron in Mythology: The Wounded Teacher

Before Chiron became an astrological symbol, he existed as one of the most unique figures in Greek mythology. His tale is far beyond suffering and healing. It is a story of consciousness, initiation, wisdom, and the transformation of personal experience into a source of understanding.

Unlike the other centaurs of Greek mythology, who were often portrayed as wild, impulsive, and driven primarily by instinct, Chiron was different from birth. He represented a higher expression of the centaur archetype: the integration of animal nature with human intelligence, knowledge, and awareness.

According to Greek mythology, Chiron was the son of the Titan Cronus and the nymph Philyra. Unlike other centaurs, who were generally associated with human and animal origins, Chiron belonged to a divine lineage. His unusual nature placed him outside ordinary categories, giving him a unique position among mythological beings.

This distinction shaped his role throughout the myths. Chiron was not defined by instinct alone. He embodied the ability to develop wisdom, cultivate knowledge, and use experience as a path toward greater understanding.

The Teacher of Heroes

Chiron lived on Mount Pelion and became known as one of the greatest teachers of ancient Greece. His knowledge extended across many disciplines, including medicine, music, philosophy, astronomy, hunting, ethics, and the healing arts. Among his students were some of the most famous heroes of Greek mythology, including Achilles, Jason, Asclepius, and Hercules.

His teachings were not limited to the mastery of skills. Chiron prepared his students for the deeper challenges of life: responsibility, courage, self-knowledge, and the consequences of their actions. Chiron was an initiator. He guided others through the process of developing their potential and understanding their place within the larger order of life.

His wisdom came not only from knowledge but from experience. He understood that true learning requires confronting difficulty, accepting vulnerability, and developing awareness through lived experience.

The Wound of Chiron

The central event of Chiron’s myth occurred through an accident involving Hercules. During a battle with the centaurs, Hercules used arrows poisoned with the blood of the Hydra. One of these arrows accidentally struck Chiron. Because Chiron was immortal, he could not escape his suffering through death. The wound became a permanent part of his existence. This detail forms the foundation of Chiron’s symbolism. His suffering was not simply an obstacle to remove. It became an experience that transformed his understanding of pain, compassion, and healing. Chiron knew suffering directly. He did not study it from a distance or observe it only in others. Through his own experience, he developed a deeper awareness of vulnerability and the human condition.

Because he understood pain personally, he was able to guide and support others with greater compassion.

The Sacrifice and Transformation

Eventually, Chiron chose to give up his immortality. In some versions of the myth, he exchanged his immortality to free Prometheus, who had been punished by Zeus for giving fire to humanity. Through this act, Chiron transformed his own suffering into an offering that served a greater purpose. After his death, Zeus honored Chiron by placing him among the stars as the constellation Centaurus.

The symbolism of this final act is very profound. Chiron’s journey had nothing to do with eliminating his suffering or pretending that the wound never existed. It was about discovering meaning within the experience and allowing it to become a source of wisdom and service.

Beyond the “Wounded Healer”

Modern astrology often describes Chiron as the “wounded healer,” but this phrase represents only one part of his mythology. The deeper archetype is defined by the consciousness that develops through engaging with the wound and experience. He represents the process of accepting experience, gaining understanding, and integrating what has been learned.

The wound becomes a teacher.
The teacher becomes a guide.
This experience becomes wisdom.

To this day Chiron remains one of the most powerful symbols in astrology. His mythology reflects one of the most universal human journeys: the ability to transform suffering into consciousness, and personal experience into a deeper capacity to understand, heal, and serve.

In the next part of this series, we will explore Chiron’s deeper psychological meaning: the nature of the wound, the difference between pain and initiation, and why Chiron became one of the most powerful symbols of healing in modern astrology.

Thank you for taking the time to explore the deeper symbolism of Chiron with me. Chiron reminds us that our experiences are not isolated events. They become part of our wisdom, our perspective, and the way we connect with ourselves and others.

When we learn to read these patterns consciously, astrology becomes more than prediction. It becomes a tool for self-understanding, timing, reflection, and intentional growth.

If you would like to explore your personal Chiron placement, natal chart patterns, or the deeper connection between astrology, wellness, and your unique constitution, you can book a personalized consultation with me.

Thank you for being part of this journey of exploration and discovery. As always, please comment below, share your thoughts, or ask questions. I’m here for you :)

Hello and Happy Monday, dear friends :)

I took a week away from social media and writing. Three of those days were spent in transit, which is a long story for another time, but I have finally arrived at my destination and could not be happier to be back.

With that being said, we have arrived at July 27, a date that marks the beginning of another significant energetic shift. The events unfolding now are not limited to a single week. They open processes that will continue developing throughout the coming months, creating another important initiation point that reveals the direction in which both our collective reality and our individual lives are moving.

This year has already brought an extraordinary amount of movement. We have witnessed major planetary ingresses, retrogrades, endings, and beginnings, each one contributing to a larger transformation. July, in particular, has been one of the most concentrated months of 2026, bringing together multiple turning points that are now beginning to reveal their deeper meaning.

So, let's take a closer look at what the stars have prepared for us this week.

Before we begin, there are several important planetary movements creating the background for everything unfolding now.

Saturn stationed retrograde on July 26 at 14°45′ Aries and will continue its retrograde journey until December 10, 2026, when it stations direct at 7°55′ Aries. This means Saturn is revisiting a significant portion of Aries territory, asking us to review the structures, commitments, ambitions, and personal choices that have been developing since this new Saturn cycle began.

The Aries area of your natal chart is entering a period of deeper evaluation. Saturn does not simply delay or restrict. It tests the strength of what has been created and reveals where more maturity, discipline, and responsibility are required.

Adding another important layer, Chiron will station retrograde on August 3 at 0° Taurus before returning once again into Aries later in the year. This creates another review of the Aries themes we have been working through: identity, courage, independence, self-definition, and the healing of old patterns connected with claiming our own path.

Now you can see why this period carries such weight.

At least Mercury retrograde has finally ended, allowing many of us to regain clarity after weeks of reviewing, reconsidering, and revisiting unresolved matters.

And today we also enter a new collective chapter as the lunar nodes shift into Aquarius and Leo, beginning an eighteen-month cycle focused on the balance between individual expression and collective evolution.

The Lunar Nodes Enter Aquarius and Leo: A New Collective Chapter Begins

Among all the shifts happening this week, the movement of the lunar nodes into Aquarius and Leo is one of the most significant because it establishes the collective storyline for the next eighteen months.

The lunar nodes are not planets. They are mathematical points where the Moon's orbit intersects the path of the Sun, but throughout astrological tradition they have been considered powerful indicators of collective development, evolutionary direction, and recurring patterns that humanity is called to examine.

The South Node represents familiar territory: patterns, instincts, and behaviors that have become deeply ingrained. It does not represent something negative. Rather, it shows qualities we already understand and know how to access, but where we may also become overly attached or repetitive.

The North Node represents the direction of growth. It points toward qualities we are learning to embody, even when they require us to move beyond familiar territory.

With the nodes moving from the Pisces–Virgo axis into Leo–Aquarius, the collective focus shifts dramatically.

The previous cycle emphasized themes of healing, discernment, service, systems, health, spirituality, and the balance between surrender and control. Many people experienced a period of questioning their routines, belief systems, priorities, and the structures they had created around their lives.

Now the focus changes.

The Leo–Aquarius axis brings us into a conversation about identity, creativity, technology, communities, and the future direction of society.

The South Node in Leo: Releasing Outdated Expressions of Identity

The South Node moving through Leo asks us to examine our relationship with recognition, personal significance, creativity, and the desire to be seen.

Leo itself is not the problem. In its highest expression, Leo represents courage, generosity, creativity, leadership, warmth, and the ability to bring something uniquely personal into the world.

Every person needs Leo energy.

We need the courage to create.

We need the confidence to express ourselves.

We need the willingness to share our gifts.

However, the shadow expression of Leo appears when recognition becomes more important than authenticity. When external validation becomes the measure of personal worth. When maintaining an image becomes more important than continuing to grow.

The South Node in Leo invites us to look honestly at patterns such as:

Where have I been seeking approval instead of expressing myself freely?

Where have I confused attention with true recognition?

Where have I remained attached to an old version of myself because it was familiar or admired?

The lesson is not to reject individuality.

The lesson is to release the need for individuality to exist separately from the collective.

The North Node in Aquarius: Moving Toward the Future

The North Node in Aquarius points toward a different direction.

Aquarius represents innovation, collective intelligence, communities, networks, technology, and the ability to think beyond personal experience.

This is the sign that asks:

How does my individual contribution participate in something larger?

Aquarius does not ask us to disappear into the collective. In its highest expression, Aquarius values authenticity and recognizes that every person contributes something unique to the larger system.

The transition from Leo to Aquarius can be understood as a movement from:

"How can I express myself?"

toward:

"How can my expression contribute?"

This is one of the defining questions of the next eighteen months.

We may collectively see stronger focus on technology, artificial intelligence, new forms of communication, evolving social structures, and communities built around shared ideas and visions.

Aquarius periods often accelerate the future. Ideas that once seemed unconventional begin becoming more relevant. Systems that no longer function reveal their limitations. New approaches begin to emerge.

The challenge is that Aquarius energy often introduces the future before society is emotionally prepared for it.

The future can feel disruptive before it feels natural.

The Leo–Aquarius Balance: The Individual and the Collective

The deeper lesson of this nodal axis is balance.

A world without Leo loses creativity, passion, personal expression, and human warmth.

A world without Aquarius loses innovation, cooperation, and collective intelligence.

The future requires both.

We are not being asked to abandon ourselves for the sake of the collective. We are being asked to understand that our individual gifts become more meaningful when they contribute to something beyond personal validation.

This theme becomes even more important because the nodal shift occurs alongside other major Aquarian and Uranian developments already unfolding in 2026.

Pluto continues its long transformation through Aquarius, reshaping collective systems and power structures.

Uranus continues its journey through Gemini, accelerating communication, information exchange, and technological development.

The message from the astrology is consistent:

Humanity is entering a period where adaptability, collaboration, and the ability to think differently become essential.

Saturn Retrograde in Aries: Revisiting the Foundations of a New Cycle

While the lunar nodes describe the collective direction of growth, Saturn reveals where that growth must become real.

Saturn is the planet of structure, responsibility, time, maturity, and consequences. Wherever Saturn travels, it asks us to become more conscious about what we are building and whether those foundations can support the future we desire.

On July 26, 2026, Saturn stationed retrograde at 14°45′ Aries, beginning a retrograde journey that continues until December 10, 2026, when Saturn stations direct at 7°55′ Aries.

This retrograde is significant because Saturn is moving through the early degrees of Aries, the first sign of the zodiac.

Aries represents beginnings, identity, initiative, courage, independence, and the impulse to move forward.

Saturn, however, asks a different question.

Not:

"Can I begin?"

But:

"Can I sustain what I begin?"

This is one of the central lessons of Saturn in Aries.

Aries naturally wants movement. It wants action, progress, and new experiences.

Saturn introduces patience.

It asks us to understand timing, preparation, responsibility, and the long-term consequences of our choices.

When these two forces meet, we learn how to transform impulse into intentional action.

The Review of Our Personal Foundations

Saturn retrograde periods are traditionally times of review.

They bring us back to unfinished matters, decisions that require reassessment, commitments that need strengthening, and structures that may no longer support our next stage.

Because Saturn is retrograding through Aries, the themes being revisited are connected with identity and personal direction.

This can bring questions such as:

Who am I becoming?

Are my current goals truly mine, or are they based on expectations I inherited from others?

Where have I been acting from urgency rather than clarity?

Where do I need stronger boundaries?

The Aries area of your natal chart becomes especially important during this period. This is where Saturn is asking for maturity, patience, and conscious development.

Some people may experience this as a slowdown.

Plans may require more preparation.

Projects may need restructuring.

Certain ambitions may need refinement.

But Saturn retrograde is rarely about denying progress. It is about making sure progress is built on something stable.

A structure created too quickly cannot withstand pressure.

Saturn teaches us to create foundations before expansion.

Saturn, Neptune, and the New Aries Era

What makes this Saturn retrograde especially significant is that it is unfolding within the larger Aries storyline of 2026.

Saturn and Neptune are both beginning new cycles in Aries, creating a powerful conversation between vision and reality.

Neptune asks:

What do we believe in?

What future are we imagining?

What inspires us?

Saturn asks:

What are we willing to build?

What discipline is required?

What can become reality?

Without Saturn, Neptune can remain only a dream.

Without Neptune, Saturn can create structures without inspiration.

Together, they describe one of the defining themes of this era:

Turning vision into something tangible.

This is especially relevant during a period when technology, social systems, and collective values are changing rapidly. New possibilities are appearing, but they require wisdom, responsibility, and conscious direction.

As exciting as this new Aries chapter may seem, neither Saturn nor Neptune promises instant results. Aries gives us the courage to begin, but Saturn reminds us that every meaningful beginning eventually meets reality. A vision, no matter how inspiring, must withstand time, effort, and consistency if it is to become something lasting.

For many of us, this retrograde will reveal the difference between chasing an idea and truly committing to it. We may discover that some goals require refinement, while others simply need more patience than we originally expected. Neither realization should be viewed as failure. Quite the opposite. Saturn's greatest gift is helping us distinguish what is temporary from what deserves a lifetime of our energy.

When Saturn stations direct in December, many of the questions being asked now will begin revealing their answers. By then, we will likely have a much clearer understanding of which structures are strong enough to carry us into the next chapter and which were only meant to teach us something along the way.

Chiron's Final Aries Lessons: Healing the Way We Move Forward

Adding another important layer to this Aries storyline, Chiron will station retrograde on August 3, 2026, at 0° Taurus, before returning once again into Aries later in the year.

Chiron has been traveling through Aries since 2018, bringing attention to wounds connected with identity, confidence, independence, courage, and the ability to fully claim our own path.

Chiron is not about erasing a wound as though it never existed. Instead, it represents the process of developing awareness, understanding, and eventually transforming our experiences into wisdom.

Throughout its journey in Aries, many of us have been confronted with questions such as:

Where have I abandoned my own needs to gain acceptance?

Where have I underestimated my own abilities?

Where have old experiences prevented me from moving forward?

Where have I confused self-protection with true strength?

As Chiron prepares to retrace its steps, these themes may return one final time.

The retrograde phase often reveals another layer beneath what we thought had already been resolved. A familiar pattern may reappear, not because we failed to learn the lesson, but because we are now ready to understand it from a deeper perspective.

Healing rarely happens in a straight line.

More often, it unfolds in cycles, with each return offering greater awareness than the last.

This return to Aries gives us one final opportunity to integrate everything we have learned about courage, independence, and self-definition before Chiron eventually leaves this territory behind.

Taken together, Saturn, Neptune, and Chiron are all telling remarkably similar stories.

Saturn asks us to build consciously.

Neptune asks us to dream consciously.

Chiron asks us to heal consciously.

Only then can we begin creating a future that truly reflects who we have become rather than who we once believed ourselves to be.

Perhaps that is one of the greatest messages of this week.

The astrology is not asking us to become someone entirely different.

It is asking us to become more honest with ourselves.

To recognize what has matured.

To acknowledge what no longer belongs.

And to move forward with greater intention than before.

The question Saturn places before us now is:

Are we building the life we truly want, or are we simply continuing the structures we already know?

*** In the second half of this week's forecast, we'll explore the Aquarius Full Moon at 6°29′ Aquarius, the Sabian Symbol for this lunation, Jupiter in Leo, Mars and Uranus in Gemini, how these planetary movements weave together, and very detailed forecasts for each rising sign.

Thank you for supporting my work and making this publication possible.

The Aquarius Full Moon: A New Vision Begins to Take Shape

On July 29, 2026, at 6°29′ Aquarius, we experience a Full Moon that carries particular significance because it arrives immediately after the lunar nodes shift into the Leo–Aquarius axis.

Full Moons are moments of illumination. They bring awareness, culmination, and clarity to themes that have been developing beneath the surface.

They reveal what has reached maturity.

They highlight what requires acknowledgment.

They show what can no longer remain unseen.

This Full Moon illuminates one of the central themes of the new nodal cycle:

The relationship between personal expression and collective evolution.

The Sun at 6°29′ Leo stands opposite the Moon in Aquarius, creating the polarity that will define the collective storyline for the next eighteen months.

Leo asks:

What is my unique contribution?

Aquarius asks:

How does that contribution serve something larger?

The answer is not choosing one over the other.

The lesson is learning how they work together.

The Symbolism of 7° Aquarius: “A Child Born of an Egg”

The Sabian Symbol associated with 7° Aquarius is:

“A Child Born of an Egg.”

This image speaks about emergence, evolution, and the birth of a new form of consciousness.

An egg represents potential.

It contains life, but that life remains invisible until the right moment arrives. The shell provides protection during development, but eventually the same structure that supported growth must be left behind.

This symbolism reflects one of the strongest themes of this period:

A new reality is developing, but it requires leaving behind structures that have completed their purpose.

The egg is not abandoned because it failed.

The egg is left behind because growth has occurred.

This distinction is important.

During periods of major transition, endings are often interpreted as losses. However, astrology frequently shows that endings can also represent completion and natural evolution.

The question this Full Moon raises is:

What once protected me but is now limiting my growth?

The Full Moon and the Birth of a New Collective Identity

Aquarius is the sign of the future, but it is also the sign of perspective.

It asks us to step outside immediate reactions and observe the larger pattern.

This Full Moon may bring awareness around:

• friendships and communities;

• future goals;

• technology and innovation;

• collective movements;

• networks and alliances;

• our role within a larger system.

Aquarius reminds us that freedom is not simply the ability to do whatever we want.

True freedom comes from understanding ourselves deeply enough that we are no longer controlled by outdated expectations.

This Full Moon asks:

Where am I following a script that no longer belongs to me?

Where am I afraid to be different?

Where am I ready to participate in a new way?

The Rulers of Aquarius: Saturn and Uranus Tell the Story

This Full Moon carries an interesting dynamic because Aquarius has two planetary rulers: traditional ruler Saturn and modern ruler Uranus.

Both are strongly connected with the current astrological landscape.

Saturn, as we discussed, is retrograde in Aries, reviewing identity, foundations, and personal responsibility.

Uranus continues through Gemini, accelerating communication, information, technology, and intellectual development.

Together, they describe one of the central tensions of this era:

How do we move forward without losing stability?

Uranus pushes toward innovation.

Saturn asks whether innovation can be integrated responsibly.

Uranus introduces possibilities.

Saturn determines which possibilities can endure.

This is why the Full Moon may feel both exciting and demanding. There is a strong desire for change, but meaningful transformation requires conscious preparation.

Jupiter in Leo, Mars in Gemini, and the Acceleration of the Future

The Aquarius Full Moon does not happen in isolation. It arrives within a much larger planetary conversation that has been developing throughout July.

After weeks of emotional processing, reflection, and revision, the energy begins moving outward. The focus shifts from reviewing the past toward understanding how we participate in what comes next.

Three planetary influences are especially important in shaping the atmosphere of this week:

Jupiter in Leo, expanding creativity and self-expression.

Mars in Gemini, accelerating movement, communication, and ideas.

Uranus in Gemini, continuing the transformation of information, technology, and collective thinking.

Together, these influences describe a period where inspiration increases, possibilities multiply, and the speed of change continues to accelerate.

The challenge is not a lack of opportunities.

The challenge is recognizing which opportunities truly deserve our energy.

Jupiter in Leo: Expanding the Power of Creation

Jupiter entered Leo on June 30, 2026, beginning a year-long journey through the sign of creativity, leadership, confidence, and personal expression.

After Jupiter’s passage through Cancer, where the focus was placed on emotional foundations, belonging, home, and inner security, Jupiter in Leo shifts attention toward visibility, creation, and the courage to express what is within us.

Leo is the sign of the heart.

It represents the desire to create something meaningful, the willingness to share our gifts, and the courage to stand behind what makes us unique.

Jupiter magnifies whatever it touches.

In Leo, it can expand:

• creativity;

• entrepreneurship;

• leadership opportunities;

• artistic expression;

• personal visibility;

• confidence;

• the desire to inspire.

For many people, this transit can bring a stronger urge to be recognized and acknowledged for their talents.

However, Jupiter always asks for awareness because expansion can also exaggerate.

The highest expression of Jupiter in Leo is generosity, authentic confidence, and inspiring leadership.

The lower expression can become dependence on admiration or the belief that attention alone equals importance.

This is where the Leo–Aquarius nodal axis becomes essential.

Jupiter in Leo asks:

What unique gift do I bring?

Aquarius asks:

How does this gift contribute to something larger?

The coming year is not about suppressing individuality.

It is about understanding that individuality becomes more powerful when it participates in a meaningful collective purpose.

Mars in Gemini: The Movement of Ideas

Mars moving through Gemini adds a different type of energy.

Mars represents action, initiative, motivation, and the way we pursue what we want.

Gemini represents communication, information, learning, curiosity, and exchange.

Together, Mars in Gemini creates an extremely active mental environment.

This is supportive energy for:

• writing;

• teaching;

• research;

• networking;

• negotiations;

• marketing;

• learning new skills;

• sharing ideas.

The mind becomes faster.

Connections happen more quickly.

Conversations become catalysts.

A single piece of information can redirect an entire plan.

However, Mars in Gemini also has a shadow expression: scattered energy.

There can be a tendency to pursue too many ideas at once, react too quickly, or confuse constant movement with meaningful progress.

This is where Saturn retrograde provides an important counterbalance.

Mars says:

Move.

Saturn says:

Make sure you are moving in the right direction.

The lesson is not to stop.

The lesson is to direct energy consciously.

Not every idea requires immediate action.

Not every opportunity requires immediate commitment.

The ability to choose becomes a powerful form of wisdom.

Uranus in Gemini: The Mind of the Future

While Mars in Gemini describes the immediate atmosphere, Uranus in Gemini represents a much larger generational shift.

Uranus is the planet of awakening, disruption, innovation, and breakthroughs.

Gemini rules:

• communication;

• information exchange;

• media;

• education;

• transportation;

• networks;

• intellectual systems.

Together, Uranus in Gemini describes a period where information itself becomes one of the greatest forces of transformation.

We are entering a time where adaptability becomes increasingly important.

The question is no longer only:

“What do I know?”

It becomes:

“How quickly can I learn, adapt, and integrate new information?”

This transit rewards curiosity.

It rewards flexibility.

It rewards those willing to update their understanding of the world.

The old model of knowledge as something fixed is changing. Information is becoming more interconnected, more dynamic, and constantly evolving.

The Balance Between Speed and Wisdom

When we observe the entire astrological landscape of this week, an interesting pattern appears.

Jupiter in Leo wants expansion.

Mars in Gemini wants movement.

Uranus in Gemini wants innovation.

Saturn retrograde in Aries asks for responsibility.

The Aquarius Full Moon asks for perspective.

This is a period where inspiration can be very strong, but conscious direction matters.

The collective energy is moving quickly, but speed alone does not create evolution.

A new idea becomes powerful when it can be integrated.

A vision becomes reality when it receives structure.

A breakthrough becomes meaningful when it serves a greater purpose.

This is one of the defining lessons of this period:

The future belongs not only to those who can imagine what is possible, but to those who can responsibly build it.

How This Week Activates Your Birth Chart

Astrology becomes most meaningful when we move beyond observing planetary movements and begin understanding how they interact with our own personal cycles.

The same transit can manifest differently depending on the individual chart.

Saturn retrograde may bring professional restructuring for one person, while another experiences it through relationships, finances, identity, or personal responsibilities.

The Aquarius Full Moon may illuminate friendships and future goals for one person, while bringing awareness around home, career, or inner healing for another.

This is why the Ascendant, or rising sign, is such an important point of reference.

The rising sign shows how these collective movements activate the twelve houses of personal experience.

For the most accurate interpretation, read your rising sign first, and your Sun sign as an additional layer.

Aries Rising

This is a significant period of personal restructuring and identity development.

With Saturn retrograde moving through your first house, you are entering a phase of reviewing who you are becoming, how you present yourself to the world, and the direction you are choosing for your life.

Saturn in the first house often brings a deeper awareness of responsibility. You may feel called to simplify, mature, and become more intentional with your energy.

This is a period of building a stronger relationship with yourself.

Questions that may arise:

Who am I becoming?

What commitments truly reflect my priorities?

Where do I need stronger boundaries?

The Aquarius Full Moon activates your eleventh house of friendships, communities, networks, and future goals.

You may experience clarity around the people, groups, and visions that belong to your next chapter. Some connections may become stronger, while others naturally move into the background.

Jupiter in Leo activates your fifth house of creativity, romance, joy, and personal expression.

This supports creative projects, passion, self-expression, and reconnecting with what makes life meaningful.

The lesson for Aries rising:

Build yourself with patience while allowing your creativity to remain alive.

Taurus Rising

For Taurus rising, this week highlights career direction, public identity, and long-term ambitions.

The Aquarius Full Moon activates your tenth house of career, reputation, and visibility.

This can bring a moment of realization regarding your professional path. You may receive recognition, reconsider your goals, or become aware of where changes are needed.

The tenth house is where we meet the world, and this Full Moon asks whether your public direction reflects your authentic values.

Jupiter in Leo activates your fourth house of home, family, ancestry, and emotional foundations.

This can bring expansion within your private life, improvements to your living environment, or a deeper understanding of what creates true security.

Saturn retrograde in Aries activates your twelfth house of rest, subconscious patterns, healing, and completion.

This is a quieter but important period of internal work.

You may need more solitude, reflection, or time to process what has been changing beneath the surface.

The lesson for Taurus rising:

The life you create externally must be supported by the foundation you build internally.

Gemini Rising

Gemini rising enters a period of significant personal evolution.

With Uranus moving through Gemini, many Gemini risings are already experiencing a powerful shift in identity, perspective, and personal freedom.

Uranus through the first house often changes how we see ourselves and how we want to engage with the world.

The Aquarius Full Moon activates your ninth house of higher learning, publishing, spirituality, travel, and expanded perspective.

A belief, idea, or future direction may become clearer.

This is supportive energy for:

• writing;

• teaching;

• studying;

• international connections;

• sharing knowledge.

Jupiter in Leo activates your third house of communication, learning, and information exchange.

Your voice becomes an important tool during this period. Ideas, conversations, and connections may open unexpected doors.

However, Mars and Uranus energy in Gemini can create mental overload.

The challenge is choosing what deserves your attention.

Saturn retrograde in Aries activates your eleventh house, asking you to reassess friendships, communities, and long-term goals.

The lesson for Gemini rising:

Your future expands when you choose direction instead of distraction.

Cancer Rising

For Cancer rising, this period continues the process of redefining security, values, and personal resources.

After the intense Cancerian activity of July, the focus begins shifting toward what you are building from those internal changes.

The Aquarius Full Moon activates your eighth house of shared resources, intimacy, transformation, and psychological depth.

This can reveal important information about financial partnerships, emotional bonds, and patterns around trust.

The eighth house asks us to examine what we share with others and what we need to transform within ourselves.

Jupiter in Leo activates your second house of income, personal resources, and self-worth.

This can support financial growth, new opportunities, and a stronger recognition of your own abilities.

However, Jupiter expands everything it touches, so conscious management of resources remains important.

Saturn retrograde in Aries activates your tenth house of career and public responsibility.

Professional goals may require revision.

You may be reconsidering what success means and whether your current path aligns with your long-term vision.

The lesson for Cancer rising:

Create success that reflects your true values, not only external expectations.

Leo Rising

Leo rising is entering one of the most significant chapters of this year.

The lunar nodes are now activating your sign, beginning an eighteen-month cycle focused on identity, personal evolution, and relationships.

Jupiter moving through Leo amplifies your first house, increasing visibility, confidence, and opportunities for personal growth.

This can be a powerful time for reinvention.

However, Jupiter asks for conscious expansion.

The goal is not simply to become more visible.

The goal is to become more aligned.

The Aquarius Full Moon activates your seventh house of relationships, partnerships, and important connections.

This can bring clarity around partnerships, contracts, and the balance between independence and cooperation.

Some relationships may deepen. Others may reveal areas requiring adjustment.

Saturn retrograde in Aries activates your ninth house of beliefs, education, travel, and worldview.

You may be reconsidering your philosophy, studies, spiritual path, or understanding of the world.

The lesson for Leo rising:

Your next chapter requires both confidence in yourself and openness to perspectives beyond yourself.

Virgo Rising

For Virgo rising, this week brings attention to health, daily systems, work patterns, and the relationship between service and restoration.

The Aquarius Full Moon activates your sixth house of routines, wellbeing, work environment, and lifestyle choices.

This can bring awareness around the habits shaping your everyday experience. You may recognize where your schedule, responsibilities, or health routines require adjustment.

The sixth house reminds us that transformation often happens through consistent choices rather than dramatic changes.

This Full Moon may reveal:

What habits support the future I want to create?

What routines drain my energy?

Where do I need a more sustainable approach?

Jupiter in Leo activates your twelfth house of rest, subconscious processes, healing, and completion.

This is a deeply internal transit. It can increase intuition, imagination, spiritual awareness, and the need for more quiet time.

Before Jupiter enters Virgo and begins a new personal cycle for you, this period acts as preparation, helping you release what no longer needs to be carried forward.

Saturn retrograde in Aries activates your eighth house of shared resources, intimacy, psychological transformation, and deeper emotional patterns.

Financial agreements, emotional attachments, and trust issues may require review.

This is a period of understanding where you give your energy and whether those exchanges are balanced.

The lesson for Virgo rising:

A healthier future begins with the systems you create in the present.

Libra Rising

For Libra rising, this week highlights creativity, relationships, communities, and future aspirations.

The Aquarius Full Moon activates your fifth house of creativity, romance, passion projects, pleasure, and self-expression.

This can bring a moment of clarity around what genuinely inspires you.

The fifth house reminds us that creativity is not only about producing something. It is also about allowing ourselves to experience joy, play, and inspiration.

A creative project may reach an important stage. A personal passion may demand more attention. A romantic situation may reveal a deeper truth.

Jupiter in Leo activates your eleventh house of friendships, networks, communities, and long-term goals.

This can create opportunities through connections with others. New communities may become important. Collaborations may open new doors.

However, Saturn retrograde in Aries activates your seventh house of partnerships and relationships.

This asks you to examine the quality of your connections.

Are your relationships built on mutual respect?

Are you allowing others to grow while also maintaining your own identity?

The Leo–Aquarius axis is especially meaningful for Libra rising because it emphasizes the balance between personal creativity and collective participation.

The lesson for Libra rising:

The right connections do not limit your individuality. They help it flourish.

Scorpio Rising

For Scorpio rising, this week focuses on foundations, emotional security, career development, and personal transformation.

The Aquarius Full Moon activates your fourth house of home, family, ancestry, and inner foundations.

This can bring clarity around your living situation, family dynamics, or emotional needs.

The fourth house often reveals what exists beneath the surface. Something that has been developing privately may now become impossible to ignore.

You may be redefining what home means, whether through physical circumstances, emotional healing, or changes within family relationships.

Jupiter in Leo activates your tenth house of career, reputation, and public visibility.

This is a powerful placement for professional growth and recognition.

You may feel called to step into greater leadership, expand your influence, or pursue a larger professional vision.

However, Saturn retrograde in Aries activates your sixth house of work, health, and daily responsibilities.

Your ambitions need practical support.

Your schedule, habits, and energy management become important factors in long-term success.

The lesson for Scorpio rising:

Your external achievements grow stronger when your inner foundation is stable.

Sagittarius Rising

For Sagittarius rising, this week emphasizes communication, learning, travel, publishing, and expanding your worldview.

The Aquarius Full Moon activates your second house of income, resources, possessions, and self-worth.

The second house is not only about money. It reflects the relationship you have with your own abilities and what you believe you deserve.

It can also deepen emotional understanding and encourage greater trust.

Saturn retrograde in Aries activates your fourth house of home, family, and foundations.

You may be restructuring your private life or reconsidering what kind of environment supports your next stage of development.

The lesson for Capricorn rising:

Security is not created by holding onto the past. It is created by building foundations that support growth.

Aquarius Rising

For Aquarius rising, this is one of the most important weeks of the year.

The Aquarius Full Moon occurs in your first house of identity, self-expression, appearance, and personal direction.

A first-house Full Moon often brings visibility. Something about your identity becomes clearer, both internally and externally.

You may recognize that an old version of yourself no longer fits.

With the lunar nodes now entering Aquarius and Leo, you are beginning an eighteen-month cycle centered around personal evolution and the balance between independence and relationships.

Jupiter in Leo activates your seventh house of partnerships, contracts, and significant connections.

Relationships can become a major source of growth during this period.

New partnerships may appear. Existing relationships may expand.

The key is choosing connections that support mutual development.

Saturn retrograde in Aries activates your third house of communication, learning, and information.

You may be restructuring how you communicate, what knowledge you pursue, and which ideas deserve your attention.

The lesson for Aquarius rising:

The future requires a more authentic version of yourself, not a more acceptable one.

Pisces Rising

For Pisces rising, this week brings attention to completion, healing, inner transformation, and preparation for a new cycle.

The Aquarius Full Moon activates your twelfth house of subconscious patterns, endings, rest, spirituality, and hidden processes.

This is a deeply reflective Full Moon.

Rather than demanding immediate external action, it may reveal what needs to be released before the next chapter begins.

Old emotional patterns, fears, and attachments may become easier to recognize.

Jupiter in Leo activates your sixth house of health, routines, work, and daily systems.

This can support improvements in lifestyle, wellbeing, and practical organization.

This asks you to review your relationship with stability.

Are your resources supporting your future?

Are your skills being valued appropriately?

Are your choices based on confidence or fear?

The lesson for Pisces rising:

Before beginning a new chapter, create the stability required to support it.

Final Thoughts: Entering the Next Chapter

As we move beyond July, the astrology begins shifting from initiation into integration.

The first part of 2026 introduced major changes: new planetary cycles, changing signs, endings, beginnings, and a reorganization of priorities.

Now we enter the phase where these changes require conscious participation.

The Leo–Aquarius nodal shift reminds us that individuality and collective evolution are not opposites.

Saturn retrograde reminds us that every vision requires structure.

Chiron reminds us that healing often happens through revisiting what we thought we had already overcome.

Jupiter reminds us to create, expand, and share our gifts.

The Aquarius Full Moon reminds us that the future is built through awareness, adaptability, and a willingness to evolve.

This week is not asking us to predict every detail of what comes next.

It is asking us to become more conscious participants in the process.

The most important question for this period is:

Are we creating our future from old patterns, or from a deeper understanding of who we are becoming?

Because the direction changes before the destination appears.

And July 27 marks another important step in that journey.

Final Thoughts

As we close another remarkable month, I hope this forecast has given you not only a better understanding of the astrology ahead, but also a little more clarity about your own journey through it.

One of the reasons I love writing these articles is that they allow us to pause for a moment and look at the bigger picture. Astrology reminds us that life unfolds in cycles. Some periods invite us to begin, others to reflect, others to let go, and others to trust that something new is quietly taking shape, even if we cannot yet see the full outcome.

For some time now, I’ve been thinking about where I want this publication to go.

When I first joined Substack, I simply wanted a place where I could share my research beyond the limitations of social media. What I didn’t expect was the incredible community that would grow around it. This platform has brought so many thoughtful, curious, and genuinely wonderful people into my life. Many of you have become loyal readers, clients, and, in many ways, part of this journey. For that, I am deeply grateful.

Astrology has been a part of my life for well over a decade. Although I’ve been practicing professionally for more than ten years, much of my work happened away from social media. I worked privately with clients, organizations, and businesses, while my research remained something I mostly kept to myself.

Writing here has changed that.

This publication has become a place where I can share not only forecasts, but also the deeper research, symbolism, historical context, philosophy, and practical applications that have shaped my understanding of astrology over the years. There is something incredibly fulfilling about being able to explore these subjects without reducing them to a one-minute video or a few slides on social media. Here, I can share the complete picture, and you can read, reflect, return to an article whenever you wish, and absorb the material at your own pace.

One of my favorite parts of this community has always been our conversations. Many of you know that I genuinely enjoy answering your questions, discussing different perspectives, and exploring astrology together. Some of the best articles I’ve written began with questions from readers that inspired me to research even further or look at a subject from a new angle.

Because of that, I’ve been thinking carefully about how to continue growing this publication in a way that feels sustainable while allowing me to dedicate even more time to research, writing, and creating the kind of work I truly believe in.

I’ve decided that the next chapter of this publication will include a contributive membership.

My goal isn’t just to write more. It’s to continue creating thoughtful, deeply researched work that goes beyond daily predictions and quick interpretations. I want this to remain a place where astrology is explored with depth, historical context, symbolism, and practical application, while also expanding into the areas that many of you have been asking for, including AstroWellness, medical astrology, ancient wisdom, and other subjects that have become an important part of my work.

Weekly collective updates and selected articles will continue to be available to everyone. The paid membership will simply open the door to deeper research, extended forecasts, detailed rising sign interpretations, exclusive essays, podcasts, AstroWellness content, and other resources that require considerably more time to create.

If my work has helped you better understand yourself, navigate important periods of your life, or simply inspired you to see astrology from a different perspective, I would be honored to have you join me as we begin this next chapter together.

Your support means the world to me ❤️

As always I’m grateful for each and everyone of you and cannot wait to start this new chapter with you by my side :)

My favorite thing to do when I wake up is to write ✍️ I find this time to be the most inspirational and deep for myself. Words just pouring non-stop. So today I want to share with you something important that I see nowadays many people forget about or don’t know. Everything is directed outward, many expect things instantaneously, other rushing things, many desiring without understanding and live by the impulses that are very easy to awaken in an individual. Our current world is manipulation net.

So No amount of astrology predictions will work or help if you do not know how to use it, how to work with transits, understand your natal chart, aspects, patterns and most importantly honestly and truly see yourself for who you truly are, without veiling anything. You see, if you just know about the transits and what they mean, the only thing you do is preparing for them and expecting these energy. But country to pop your belief, Astrology itself in its original meaning and sense is not designed for that, but rather to discover your true essence, reconnect with your soul and wake up from illusory life. There are millions of different ways to apply as Astrology and it’s knowledge, view things from different perspective and more. But the essence is to study your soul’s evolution, this is why you have your natal chart, your treasure trove map. When you finally do that, you are becoming on the journey of freeing yourself from being controlled by the material world and become an awakened, spiritually driven discipline, which we were all meant to be. Astrology is an amazing tool for self-awareness and timing, don’t just passively wait for things to happen when certain transits arrive. The value of Astrology is using self knowledge to make better, more empowered choices in your daily life.

Nothing will ever actually replace you The Great Work - the work that is done on yourself and within. Astrology predictions become useless without actually going through experiences, to the lions den , going to the underworld (which are all internal organ and system processes) , sacrificing your own desires, and getting purified, gaining wisdom and understanding that all which is above is as below, and that which in internal is an external, as the Universe so is the Soul. When you only base your life on external world you are missing the main and the most crucial puzzle piece which is YOU, ladies and gentlemen. This is where the seed of challenges and unhappiness lays. Go back to the axiom As Above so as Below

We are divine intelligence creation and children. Our body is our temple for our soul that is buried deep underneath (the underworld of our Body, hence Pluto rules the bottom - reproductive system). Inside we have organs and systems, we are a complex divine instrument that needs to be tuned in, be of right frequency, shine from within, using/directing our intelligence for creation, and our voice for manifestation. We are of water essence, our Divine Mother so naturally receptive and attractive, not forceful. But we are also our Divine Father children and we have spine and will to stand straight and to withstand any circumstances and challenges thrown at us. All of that is actually makes invincible to anything external, because you acknowledge and embrace who you truly, meaning took your power back that was siphoned away from you quite a long time ago.

This is the year to finally meet your true self and do the work of reconciliation and merge, so you can enter this new times strong, empowered, conscious and aware. That’s the only way. Otherwise it’s an existence and not life. And with all the upcoming changes more things will be thrown at you than ever before, this is high frequency time, no breaks, full speed , so if you won’t take a control of the wheel and finally move to the front driver seat, you will be taken to a complete different destination that you ever imagined for yourself.

Echoes from 2023 and January 2025

First, let’s look at July 2023 and January 2025, which had a New Moon
at 25 degree and a Full Moon in Cancer at 24 degree, respectively, in the area of this sign that is important to us right now, just a few degrees from our current New Moon, Mercury retrograde, cazimi, and also right around our favorite 26° mark. So we’re still walking on nearly the same spot, all revolving around the same theme: emotional security versus authority/action, just with different planets playing out the same story. Try to think about what was going on for you at those times, the people you met, the lessons you learned, what you were thinking, where you were living, who was in your circle, what your life was about. Perhaps you were initiating something back then, trying to start something new, reclaiming the rulership of your life, all of it probably accompanied by a lot of emotional fluctuation. See how you’ve evolved. Interestingly to note here, that literal being around the same circle of people that were prevailing in your life at some point in the past is extremely common right and I've mentioned that in my post about Mercury Retrograde too. This is especially relevant for Cancer/Capricorn axis themselves and if you have major planets or points there. It can happen intentionally or spontaneously, planned or by surprise, but i promise you will see it manifesting somehow (either last week, this week or next week). Let me know if it already did :) all of that is for you to evaluate your position, place and role now (in your inner and external life). It can also play out as if you would re-enter some moments in your past, or some situations that are extremely familiar. See for yourself :)

Also, the Sabian symbol for 25° Cancer, where we had the July 2023 lunation, centers on a mantle of power being bestowed, a symbol of stepping into leadership or providential authority. Current New Moon’s symbol, one degree earlier in that same late-degree neighborhood, is the young woman awaiting a sailboat, receptive anticipation rather than active authority. So back in July 2023, you were asked to reckon with power, and to consider claiming some of your own. Think back and try to remember that moment, I’m sure it’ll come to you right away. Three years, and one full lap of the sign, later, the invitation now is to release the grasp for control altogether, and simply trust the unknown and wait for what’s already coming and arriving to you. And we must all admit we’ve been feeling that something is arriving, both collectively and individually, in our journeys.

Then, in January 2025, when we had the Full Moon in Cancer at 24°, we experienced a climax of anger and reactive release. I invite you to think back to that time too. Since then, we’ve reset into faith and expansion in 2025, peaked in a crowded, high-stakes configuration in January 2026, and now we’re invited to settle into something softer, to wait rather than perform, and to trust rather than control.

The Jupiter-Chiron squares and the June 29th Full Moon in Capricorn

Another period to look at is the end of October 2025 and the end of December 2025, when we had the Jupiter-Chiron square, two of three exact squares, with the last occurring on July 1st this year, once both planets had already changed signs, marking the point where the pattern finally moves off this axis. December’s square lands almost exactly on today’s New Moon degree, so let’s look at what it carries. There’s a crisis of faith here, old wounds resurfacing in the light of present growth, a confrontation between what you believe and what you’ve been through. So back then, we were struck specifically with wounded belief and questioned conviction, which ties directly into the thread we traced earlier in Part 1 through Sagittarius Lilith and suppressed truth, and also the Cancer Sabian symbols, expressed virtuosity giving way to receptive waiting. Whatever wound came up then has since been enormously transformed and enlightened, in a way, if we’re honest with ourselves. We can look that wound in the eye now, and no longer be afraid of it. Things are incredibly easy to understand if we’re willing to look at them honestly. But it was hard, painful, exhausting, confusing and if you have some other words to add, please be my guest in comments :) haha

Lastly, I want to mention that this cycle also includes the June 29th Capricorn Full Moon, which occurred within hours of Mercury stationing retrograde at 26° Cancer, with Jupiter completing its full year-long transit through Cancer to enter Leo that same day. The Cancer-Capricorn maturity axis and Aries has been activated nonstop, all framed around wisdom earned through experience and responsibility, rather than raw confrontation, impulse, aggression, and ego. We are now arriving at the next station on the same train. But experiencing it differently now, though, because Jupiter is in Leo, compared to the last cycle when it was still in Cancer, so it already feels different. We’re also on the verge of the lunar nodes shifting to Leo and Aquarius, entering Leo season, and so much more.

There’s a lot to discuss, obviously, you can see it’s hard for me to stop :) I hope you’re all enjoying this. It’s my pleasure to share this knowledge, these observations, and my experience with you.

Today we will be taking a time machine to exactly a year ago.

One interesting thing to note before we are going further : I’m looking at July 27th this year, and the days around it, when Venus in Virgo will be squaring Mars in Gemini at 20°46’. At the same time, Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius at 24°37’ makes a square to Venus and an opposition to Mars. Now, why is this important? In the morning I saw my post from last year, from July 14th, where I was discussing this same square/opposition between Mars and Venus. But last year, Venus was in Gemini and Mars was in Virgo :) Another interesting correspondence: at that time, the Sun had arrived at 22° of Cancer :) Yes, my friends, yet again I’m here to remind you how the story from last summer is sprouting this year :)

Today’s New Moon in Cancer is exactly at that degree. Venus and Mars are both making the same aspect, just having swapped signs, both ruled by Mercury. Another thing worth mentioning: last time, both of these feminine and masculine planets were making aspects to the Moon in Pisces, forming a T-square. This year, those same planets make aspects to Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius, Venus square, Mars opposite.

Same story, but the attitude and the energy have changed. Instead of the softer, more emotional Moon in Pisces, we now have the more volatile, vulnerable Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius. Back then, Jupiter was in Cancer and Mercury was preparing to retrograde in Leo. This year, they’ve beautifully swapped places too, last year Mercury also stationed direct at 4° of Leo, the same position Jupiter now occupies as it plays an important role in this week’s Barbault Basket. And last year, Mars was making a conjunction to the South Node, this year, Venus does the same while in Virgo. Another parallel: last year, Pisces and Cancer, the domains of the Moon and the Sun, were both activated. This year, the Moon has joined the Sun in her own domain, Cancer.

Also, because we just had a cazimi, this year’s New Moon brings much-needed light to the hidden, unseen realms deep inside us, realms that are invisible to us, and that some people never even look toward. But this is exactly the cave we’re meant to look into. (Read my note on that subject, where I discuss the Joseph Campbell quote.) So this year things have more clarity, though this still isn’t the final chapter, we’re just opening our eyes. Last year had a much heavier Pisces influence, and we all know how intense, sometimes even lethargic, that felt. This year brought us much-needed movement, with a lot of fire and air energy that didn’t let us sit fully calm, which is absolutely necessary. But in general, we need balance.

So let’s remind ourselves that in this water element, where the Moon and Sun are residing, with Mercury also retrograde, it’s important not to look for answers logically, in the mind. Here we’re asked to feel, to look inside ourselves, to return again to our inner cave :) Let your heart speak and express itself. This is what this period is about: opening the cage (Cancer rules the rib cage) and letting your heart shine and be (Leo is our heart and spine). In order to reach the levels we want to reach, be who we are we need to stand straight, breath fully, everything needs to be aligned. You can trace through zodiac signs how it manifest through the body, both literally and metaphorically. This is why there’s so much happening in this specific area, and why it keeps being reactivated. We keep looking at the same things, over and over again. And you have to admit, some insight has already been gained. Everyone’s pace is different, and there’s no “right” speed for this, the most important thing is that you’re consciously and aware working on yourself. Let your intuition speak. Let your heart speak. I also suggest you read my article on Braveheart, where I talk exactly about this and the meaning of this July momentum.

I’ll also attach my post from last year on this same subject to my notes on Substack

, so you can compare the energy of last year with this year’s, and I’ll help put the puzzle together for you.

Breaking down the mutable T-square

Let’s break down the earlier mentioned mutable T-square: Mars in Gemini opposed Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius, both square Venus in Virgo that is happening at the end of the month. But Venus and Mars are already in a square. Just like the last year. Lets see how it will unfold now.

All three signs involved, Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, are mutable, so this configuration runs on nervous, adaptable, information-processing energy rather than fixed, stubborn tension. The missing fourth leg, Pisces (where the Moon sat last year), is the release valve, the place where tension could dissolve if channeled consciously, rather than acted out compulsively.

BML in Sagittarius carries the wound of a truth or belief that was punished or exiled, a philosophical, spiritual, or moral position that wasn’t allowed to be spoken plainly. For natal placements, it relates to how a person reaches out into the world and gathers experience, and how they’ve experienced Lilith’s story through that lens. For example, the expansive, intuitive functions of the person may have been judged, and for which they received some kind of censure. The consequence, over time, is that the person can come to believe the risk of gathering experience isn’t worth the cost, and this function may get shut down to avoid others’ negative judgment. The healing task here is to consciously reclaim and integrate that expansive, exploratory, truth-seeking impulse rather than keep it shut down, recognizing it as a natural part of the self rather than something shameful.

When this opposes Mars in Gemini (quick, sharp, but also eager to provoke, argue, or debate through language), that sharp, provocative talk directly triggers and confronts Sagittarius’s suppressed conviction. This can manifest as heated arguments about beliefs or facts, information warfare, being baited into a debate you didn’t want, or feeling forced to defend a truth you’d rather have kept private. It can also show up as restless mental agitation, a compulsion to talk your way around a wound rather than sit with it. And we can see all of this playing out both individually and collectively.

Now let’s add Venus in Virgo, which is in its fall position here, not entirely comfortable, since Venus can’t express herself the way she’d like, but this placement also brings necessary discernment, modesty, and a preference for the practical and detailed approach. The square to Mars manifests as tension between wanting harmony (or to feel attractive) and wanting to assert or even provoke, desire and aggression pulling against each other, sometimes showing up as passive-aggression, or as attraction/conflict in relationships. The other square brings tension between conventional, acceptable values or aesthetics and the wild, unfiltered belief or truth Lilith wants to express. This can feel like being criticized or judged (through Virgo’s critical eye) for holding or voicing an unconventional belief.

So Venus in Virgo acts here as the apex planet, where the pressure concentrates and demands resolution. It’s a hard position for Venus, because she’s squeezed from both sides, asked to mediate between Mars’s assertive, provocative speech and Lilith’s exiled, uncompromising conviction, using only Virgo’s native tools of discernment, service, and refinement. You might feel caught between wanting to keep the peace (or be liked) and needing to speak an unwelcome truth, or win an argument. Relationship or social friction may arise around being “too much,” too blunt, or too idealistic, met with criticism or nitpicking. You may also feel a nagging sense that being loved/valued and being fully honest about your beliefs feel mutually exclusive at that point.

But the mutable quality across all three points means the healthiest expression is flexibility and communication rather than a rigid standoff, using Gemini’s mental agility and Virgo’s discernment to actually articulate and refine the Sagittarian truth, rather than letting it erupt as reactive arguing or get squashed by self-criticism. Any square is a challenge, but a necessary one. It brings action, conflict, stumbling blocks, or building blocks :) It gives us courage and character, if used wisely. Opposition brings awareness, balance or imbalance, and forces us to relate. With a square, we can usually adjust to shifting circumstances, but we may struggle with inconsistency or scattering our energy across too many directions here.

Now let’s look at the missing leg, Pisces. First of all, this means resolution won’t be found by getting more rigid, more logical, or trying to “solve” anything, but rather by softening, surrendering, or transcending the conflict instead of fighting it out on the other three points. We have to set aside the ego, let go of the need to be right (Mars in Gemini), or correct (Venus in Virgo), or to hold the definitive truth (Lilith in Sagittarius). The healthy channel here is empathy, creative expression, or spiritual reframing, finding the larger, more forgiving picture that transcends the argument. So look at whatever house cusp falls in Pisces in your natal chart, that’s where this release is most likely to occur. You may unconsciously avoid, escape, or spiritually bypass the tension there. Knowing that house will help you understand the energy more clearly :)

Then compare it to last year, and you’ll see the unfoldment, the development, and the details transforming in your own hero’s/heroine’s journey. Last year’s tension in July was more about feeling something painful and trying to act on or fix it, with social conversation (Venus in Gemini) as the bridge. This year, it’s about needing to speak or defend a suppressed truth, with critical discernment (Venus in Virgo) as the bridge, and the emotional or intuitive material that used to be conscious has now gone unconscious. It’s the same underlying mutable-cross conflict, but it has matured and shifted. It’s absolutely fascinating to see how the story keeps evolving :)

I also want to note that on July 27th, the Sun will be making a conjunction with Jupiter at 4°, joining the Barbault Basket configuration. Im telling you this day is important :)

Today’s Sabian symbol: the woman awaiting a sailboat

Lastly, I want to discuss the Sabian symbol for today’s New Moon: “A young woman awaiting a sailboat.”

Thematically, it centers on anticipation rather than arrival itself, something is en route, but hasn’t landed yet. We also have water here again, signifying flowing, receptive, patient energy rather than force and pressure. Longing without control, I’d say, which fits our themes perfectly right now :) Note that patience is one of the hardest things for people to master these days. Given that the cazimi happened in the same area, with Mercury retrograde, everything is asking us not to force new beginnings, but to sit with what’s still arriving from the past, or still in transit. This is why I always recommend reflecting and doing the work, your natal chart is a literal map, and you can use it in ways you didn’t know were possible. I always invite you to get readings, just DM me if you’re interested. They’re extremely informative, and we go very, very deep.

So, going back to this New Moon and the events surrounding it: I’d say the cazimi offered us a flash of clarity about what we’ve been waiting for, but the New Moon today isn’t the moment to act yet, be patient. Right now you need to consciously recommit to waiting well, with your eyes open, rather than out of anxious impatience and force. The keynote here, in my opinion: do not hurry the outcome, but be ready :)

And now, watch how everything fits together in one puzzle, you know how I love to do that, haha. The previous degree, 21° Cancer, where we just experienced the cazimi, holds the Sabian symbol “A famous singer proving her virtuosity during an operatic performance.” It’s literally the step before the arrival, the mastery made fully visible in a public, performed moment. Now that she’s performed, shown herself, she’s awaiting that sailboat, and to each of us, that sailboat means something different :) We did something courageous, came out of the shadows, opened ourselves up a little, and now we’re patiently observing. Moving from full expression and proof of skill into a receptive period of what comes next. The performance is over, the applause has faded, and now we’re back to simply watching the horizon :) This is especially significant considering that Mercury, our planet of voice, articulation, and communication, is currently retrograde and combust, until July 18th, I believe. If you think about it for a minute, you’ll be able to see how this plays out in your own life: what was said, what was kept, what was forced, what was held back, and what it all led to.

Now you’re being asked to trust the unseen, the unknown, to go quiet and wait. There’s no performance or further explanation needed. Just let what’s coming arrive at its own pace. This is the most important part. It might feel natural to seek out bigger gatherings, company, or fun right now, but that would waste your energy, because this moment is more internal. Saturn will also go retrograde soon, and Chiron will fully turn inward. If you know your own self, your chart, your patterns, and are honest with yourself, you’ll be able to harness any energy that comes, you won’t be affected by it, but rather use it for your own and others’ well-being, advantage, and benefit.

Cancer represents the mother, home, family, emotional security, and the place where we feel protected. As a cardinal sign, it still has the instinct to initiate, lead, and create movement, but it does so through care, protection, and emotional involvement. Its opposite sign, Capricorn, brings the other side of the axis: ambition, responsibility, achievement, structure, and recognition in the outside world. The lesson is always in the balance between what we build publicly and what we create privately, between outer success and inner security. Home is ultimately something we need to establish within ourselves, but our physical surroundings matter too. Creating comfort, beauty, and a sense of safety around you can be deeply supportive during this period. Spend time with family, take care of the small things, and allow yourself to simply be present. Not everything needs to become a task, a goal, or another project.

This is where I’ll pause for today, because there is still another important layer to this story. Part Two comes tomorrow. We’ll look back at the important lunations, transits, aspects, specific days and more that are connected to this New Moon and our current journey. All of these moments return us to the same area of the zodiac and the same Cancer–Capricorn axis, but each one shows a different stage of the story. We’ll compare what was beginning then, what reached a climax, what was wounded or questioned, and what is now becoming clearer under this New Moon.

Thank you and see you tomorrow. As always, if you resonate with my work, please follow my socials, as well as my Substack, which I'm growing. Comment and share your thoughts and questions below :) To book a reading, or to inquire about my AstroWellness programs, please DM me. Thank you again, and have a beautiful Tuesday :)

Basically, we experienced combust Mercury retrograde before the cazimi last week, and we already know that the energy can feel very heavy and overwhelming, especially in the watery sign of Cancer. Once we experience cazimi, we may have a sudden flash of clarity. When the Sun starts to move away from Mercury, we experience combustion yet again. Mercury is still in the “burning” zone, but it is on its way out. We begin to integrate the sudden insight we have just received.

Because this happens in Cancer, a water sign, the focus is on our feelings, home, family, and inner emotional world. After receiving some kind of insight during the cazimi regarding an emotional block or past memory, the intense, blinding flash begins to fade. We are then faced with the difficult but necessary task of making sense of what we have just learned by revisiting old patterns in order to understand them.

Since we have a New Moon in Cancer two days after the cazimi, the next month is highly focused on healing old wounds and rewriting our personal stories. The cazimi was a moment of pure clarity that cut through the fog. It was like walking out of a dark tunnel into bright light. If you have been struggling to understand a relationship or a feeling, the truth may suddenly click.

Usually, a New Moon is about moving into something brand new. However, because Mercury is retrograde, this New Moon is about going backward in order to move forward. Think of it as editing a rough draft. It is a time to revisit old ideas, return to unresolved conversations, or heal old family patterns. Cancer rules the heart, the home, and the inner child. Therefore, it’s not just a logical, “in-your-head” reset. Instead, it is an emotional homecoming. It asks us to look at what truly makes us feel safe.

Another thing I want to add here is that the cazimi itself happened when the Moon, which rules Cancer, was at 26° Gemini, a sign ruled by Mercury retrograde in Cancer :) Patterns, patterns, patterns. While this was happening, the Moon was also making a sextile to Chiron in Taurus and Venus in Virgo, with the latter conjunct the South Node ( finishing old stories) Interestingly, Venus also made tense aspects to all of the outer planets, as well as Mars in Gemini.

So I see yesterday as a literal flash of insight that instantly gave us some sense of relief in the body because of an understanding that arrived suddenly. By doing so, it also began to reshape our broader views and perspectives.

Today, the Moon is already in her own domain, and we have another interesting picture. All of the outer planets, as well as Venus, are at 4° of their signs. Jupiter is currently at 2°, approaching the same 4° and making an exact opposition to Pluto later this week, finally forming the infamous Barbault Basket :)

I’m also looking at Black Moon Lilith, which currently sits at 22° Sagittarius. This number also adds up to four, and the New Moon itself is going to happen tomorrow at 21°58′, which is again very close to 22 and therefore four :)

Let’s talk about this number. In general, the numerals from zero to nine represent successive stages in every cycle of evolution, whether on the grand scale of the cosmos or on the smaller scale of personal unfoldment. I don’t want to go too deeply into the myriad interpretations of this number, so generally speaking, it is associated with order, building, structure, organization, and discipline.

In this sense, we can see its connection to the fourth house in astrology, which governs the home, foundations, and roots. It is also associated with the square, so it represents a base in a sense. Number four is a very important number in the world around us. We have four elements, compass directions, seasons, heart chambers, etc. Again, it represents our foundation. It is the builder number.

Add to this the fact that 22, which also adds up to four, is itself considered a master builder number. In astrology, four also represents control and authority. Correspondingly, in Tarot, number four is associated with the Emperor, who represents power, regulation, and worldly authority. Again, it all adds up to order and foundation.

Four is closely associated with physical reality, the Earth itself, and the creation of the material universe. The external world is reshaping, and we can see that. But our internal world is doing the same. Four is also a number of completeness. The sequence of the elements on the zodiac wheel repeats every four signs. The Sun, Moon, and stars were set in place on the fourth day to govern the seasons and natural order. We could go on and on, but you understand the meaning ;)

The close proximity of the New Moon in Cancer and the Mercury cazimi is not random at all. I believe that after something became mentally visible to us and an insight appeared, Mercury remained overwhelmed by the Sun, making it difficult to separate objective facts from emotional memories. The lunar reset then absorbs the material that was exposed by Mercury. It develops what was just uncovered and begins a new emotional cycle around it.

We are rebuilding a new foundation or reorganizing and cleansing the original one of all the debris that we have collected there throughout the years. This is why it isn’t something completely new. It simply needs cleansing, restructuring, reorganizing, understanding, more discipline, etc. This is also reflected in the energy of the whole chart and the planetary positions.

In our case, rebuilding is connected to emotional and native foundations that may come from our families, relationships, or inherited patterns. In Cancer, it also concerns the home, living arrangements, property, our sense of belonging, memories and unresolved conversations from the past, emotional safety and defensive reactions, and obviously motherhood, children, caregiving, and dependency.

And don’t forget that it also concerns your body’s response to stress, particularly digestion, appetite, and sleep, as well as decisions shaped by nostalgia, fear, attachment, or the need for protection. It is also a time of reconsideration rather than immediate forward movement.

I’ve told you that it is extremely important to remain grounded and proceed cautiously and slowly. Develop awareness and become an observer. Reflect and understand. Because this is a period of Mercury combustion, this week is more beneficial for reconsideration, discussion, correction, and reorganization.

My general recommendation is to avoid any important decisions or even appointments, perhaps at least until the end of this week. The more optimal period will begin once Mercury stations direct.

From now until the end of the month, many changes will occur collectively and individually. Some will be sudden, while others may be expected in a way. Something might pop up from the past or return for another round. Whether you proceed with it or not, a new cycle will be initiated.

Clarity will probably come more fully at the beginning of August, once Mercury, the planet responsible for our understanding and intellect, is moving forward again after post-shadow period. Whatever is going on right now, you may not be able to understand it fully until then. The beginning comes now, but the complete explanation follows later :)

It is yet another chance for us to learn how to be patient and trust the unknown, which, coincidentally, is the lesson of our lunar nodes in Pisces and Virgo that we are completing this month ;) I hope we are all ready for that.

As always, if my work resonates, please follow my socials and Substack that I’m growing. Comment your thoughts and questions. Thank you all and have a great day :)

The energies we have experienced since Mercury went retrograde, specifically this week, were very intense and heavy. I believe this intensity was absolutely necessary before the release that is going to happen and the clarity it will bring.

Today we have a cazimi, which will be followed by the New Moon in Cancer and a series of supportive yet transformative aspects forming between the outer planets, reshaping the bigger picture, as well as the personal planets, which will reshape things on the individual level, within you.

Let me remind you again that the internal and external worlds are interconnected. It does not really matter how it may seem to you. The fact is that everything comes from within. In order to change something, you have to find the reason why you are doing certain things, following certain patterns, thinking the same thoughts, and more. Once you are honest with yourself, go within, and do this inner work, things will shift permanently.

When you try to force things externally, you might be able to get a result, but you also gain fear and anxiety about losing it, compared to the inner peace and knowing you receive in the first case. When you force things externally, they are always temporary. This is why you will experience fear and anxiety and eventually become a slave to them, basically trading your life for running like a mouse in circles.

Let’s look at what we experienced prior to today’s cazimi. Things noticeably began to slow down when Mercury went retrograde on June 29. You will feel it especially strongly if you are ruled by Mercury or have a significant influence from this planet and its signs in your own chart.

Mercury is one of the main players on the stage right now. Let’s not forget that we have electrifying Uranus occupying Gemini, with Mars also moving through it, while the South Node is finishing its journey through Virgo and Venus has newly entered this sign.

Very interestingly, both Mercurial signs currently contain Mars and Venus. This brings up themes of relationships, duality within us, and how we act upon the things in our heads. Do we act with force or with love?

All of this inevitably brings up memories, perhaps of a romantic interest, matters of the heart, or emotional vulnerability connected to previous experiences that may have deeper roots somewhere in your childhood.

I want to explain something here. Many people think that something horrible had to happen to them in order for them to develop a self-sabotaging habit in the future. Absolutely not. You do not need to have had horrible experiences for that to happen. People also do not have to do something to you purposely. Things can simply be perceived in a certain way for one reason or another. Of course, other situations can occur, but again, it all depends on your fragile childhood mind and how you interpreted and processed things.

Each time I work with clients, both on the Astrology and the Nutrition/Wellness sides, we always have a conversation about this. We need to understand the underlying reason for everything. Sometimes it is hard to find it by yourself because you might not remember, you might not think it is important, or you might simply not notice certain things. I am here to help uncover that.

Only when we reach the core of the onion do we have an opportunity to change things. If we do not know the reason, nothing can actually be changed, and you will not have peace. Things will continue coming up for you.

Today’s event, which will be followed by the New Moon on Tuesday, is resetting that and illuminating the reasons behind all of the shenanigans that have been happening.

Whats going on? Why did you suddenly think about certain people or situations? What are the things that still make you anxious and vulnerable inside and cause you to close your heart?

You might also have experienced many things in your body because Cancer itself is responsible for the chest area as well as the stomach. You might experience tightness in the chest, an inability to take a full breath, or you may have physically felt when your heart was closing and when you felt more open. All of these are indicators of what is happening within you.

The same applies to the stomach. I also want to indicate that emotional eating is quite possible right now, even when you are not hungry and you know it. There is an underlying desire to make yourself feel comfortable, so you might long for comfort food, sweets, or baked goods. Maybe you want to escape through something else. To each their own, hahah. Nevertheless, what we are looking for is that feeling of peace and harmony that was suddenly disturbed by this retrograde period.

Because of everything happening in the sky, if you have been forcing things externally or generally have a job that requires you to be extremely alert and active, it has probably taken a much greater toll on you. There has not been enough downtime, a period when your body can rest and, consequently, your mind can rest too, allowing you to operate normally.

When you are too active and overstimulated, you will most likely be easily triggered by certain things, especially if you are currently experiencing situations or interacting with people who generally trigger you.

I already mentioned in my previous article that there is a strong possibility of being around a previous circle of people, someone you knew before, your family, or somewhere you grew up. It may be something from the past that is very close to you but that you no longer experience in the same way.

All of this can bring contradictory energy because it feels as though life is asking you to observe and evaluate things right now. Those people and situations from the past are being shown to you so that you can compare who you are now with who you were when you were around those people, as one example.

As much as we may receive some peace and illumination today, things will finally fall into place when Mercury finishes its retrograde on July 23. However, we will still have the post-shadow phase, and Mercury will emerge from it at the beginning of August.

I have also mentioned many times, starting in May, that July is going to be very packed. I have kept seeing the number 727 since last year, and I truly believe something significant will be going on at both levels, collectively and individually. The period from July 20 until July 27 is very packed, and I believe July 27 2027 is going to be at the center of everything. Pay attention to those dates.

Mercury rules our intellect, how we process things, expression, communication, and more, while the Sun is the illuminator. Together, they give the mind a kind of reboot. Things can suddenly become clearer than ever, and all the pieces may fall into place like a puzzle.

You might receive a sudden message, have a conversation with someone from the past, receive an apology, apologize to someone, suddenly encounter someone, or be reminded of things that will now make more sense to you.

With that being said, right after the New Moon on Tuesday and throughout the rest of Mercury retrograde, you will be operating on a more illuminated, new level. It will be different for each person, but some understanding of things is inevitable.

Many serendipitous moments and synchronicities are also possible. During this Mercury retrograde, each time someone has popped into my head out of nowhere, I have experienced some kind of activity from that person. Absolutely fascinating. It usually happens to me a lot, but this Mercury retrograde feels a little different. Each time, it is as though I am receiving greater clarity about things, even when nothing has been said. :)

Let me know whether you have experienced this or something similar. In general, I would love to hear your thoughts about how this energy has manifested for you and whether you have been feeling certain things too.

Overall, it feels as though we are putting together a puzzle, and right now, an important piece, something for the center, will arrive. :) But for that to happen, the center needs to remain open, and no other puzzle piece can be occupying that space. :)

As I said, this month we are also changing the lunar nodes to Leo and Aquarius on none other than 7/27, as well as experiencing an important configuration that everyone has been writing about called Barbault’s Basket.

We are finishing one journey. We will understand all the delays, stagnation, and reasoning behind everything: why certain things did not work out, why certain relationships did not continue, why you were unable to move in the direction you wanted, and why you experienced blockages. All of that and more are coming into our field.

This is why we needed the cleansing energy of a retrograde in the water element. I told you in my previous post that sudden crying followed by zombie-like overthinking is very possible, hahah. The energy is heavy, but it is necessary. Everything that blocks you from within needs to be released.

We need to take our power back, and for that, we need to open our hearts, be honest with ourselves, and release all the heaviness and negative energy that make us stagnant. Negative energy is very heavy. It causes you to reside in the lower realms of life.

However, these moments are also necessary. As I said, life is a journey of ups and downs. We are always going through chemical processes in our bodies that are impossible to see, but they are happening. This is why you feel the changes, but now you may also understand them on a more intellectual level.

The “aha!” moment is connected to the past. It helps you see an old problem in a new way so that you can finally move on. I think it is very beautiful that immediately afterward, we have a New Moon in Cancer, initiating a completely new beginning and a restart in matters of the heart.

For that to happen, you need to learn how to work with astrology rather than simply being affected by a transit. You need to use the transit to your advantage.

If you are interested in learning how to do that, how to recognize patterns, compare things, understand the reasons behind everything, see the full picture, and apply it to your own chart, please DM me, and we will start working on it.

I cannot explain the treasure trove of wisdom, knowledge, and peace you receive once you begin doing this. You learn how to strategize, how to plant seeds, how to understand yourself better so that you do not give in to certain energies, and much more.

With that being said, during this transit, you might suddenly clarify confusing feelings or understand why you feel a certain way. Older astrologers viewed this exact central point as a sacred audience with the king, the Sun. It was thought to be a powerful time to ask for wisdom or begin a new chapter.

This time, Mercury receives wisdom from the Sun. As we know, Mercury is the messenger, so once the illumination and insight are received, Mercury will move forward and spread this newly learned information throughout the rest of your body. Everything will be renewed, and it will be reconfirmed once again by the New Moon in Cancer.

However, just as with every energy, balance and harmony are mandatory. With so much illumination, when a planet sits so close to the Sun, burning is obviously possible. You need to remain grounded, calm, and not overstimulated.

Remember that overstimulation is possible with Mercury in general. Also, do not forget that Uranus is residing in Gemini, which belongs to Mercury, and Mars is already there. Although this energy can be very enlightening, just as with everything else, opposite manifestations are possible. It is all up to you.

I also want to add that if you know you can become an important point in someone else’s journey or story, and that through a simple word, kind gesture, conversation, or anything else, you can give them more clarity, bring them peace, set them free, or help them in some other way, do it.

You will feel incredibly light afterward. It is a necessary letting-go point. When you know that you can do this, do it. You will receive twice as much in return, believe me.

Do not carry your ego with you everywhere. It is absolutely unnecessary and damaging. What we needed to learn during the journey of the lunar nodes through Virgo and Pisces was how to let things go, trust the unknown, and choose the higher way. Do that, and you will also notice how things begin transforming immediately afterward.

This exchange of energy can be very beneficial, and the Cancerian waters will wash away everything that needs to go. This is a time for healing our family patterns and finding closure within past memories.

With Cancer being closely connected to the gut, intuition is becoming stronger at this time too. I have already mentioned that your dreams may become very vivid, full of action and adventure.

Try to think about whom you are dreaming about and what you are dreaming about. What are these things and situations trying to tell you? Again, honesty is the most important thing. I cannot tell you enough how often people simply tell themselves what they want to hear. That is not honesty. That is ego. Be honest.

A very good practice would be to write down your thoughts, ideas, understanding of things, realizations, and reflections in a journal. You do not need to act on anything right now because Mercury is still retrograde. As I said, complete illumination will come only after Mercury leaves its post-shadow phase. Right now is the time to collect information.

The famous esoteric scholar Manly P. Hall viewed this alignment as a profound moment of illumination. He taught that the Sun represents the Higher Self, while Mercury represents the lower, rational mind. When they unite, it signifies pure, intuitive truth.

He believed that a cazimi is a time when earthly intelligence surrenders to divine wisdom. Instead of thinking about things only logically, you gain a deep inner knowing. Hall often warned that the human mind, Mercury, can easily be deceived by the senses. When it enters the heart of the Sun, the ego steps aside. This allows universal truth to flow directly into your consciousness.

I want to remind you again that the greatest benefit of astrology is not its use as a tool for predicting the future, but its use as a map for spiritual evolution and growth. A Mercury cazimi is a spiritual “reset” during which you can reprogram negative thought patterns using higher spiritual truths.

Anything that appears to be a random message is not random at all right now.

Another thing to add is that Venus has just entered Virgo, and that matters because Venus acts differently in this sign. First of all, Virgo is Venus’s sign of fall. However, the more grounded energy Venus brings right now is very much needed. It helps to compose and ground you after the emotional chaos you may have experienced recently.

Venus in Virgo brings questions about what needs to be corrected, cleaned, simplified, repaired, or reorganized. Altogether, things will unfold one after another, with each planet, transit, and aspect playing its role in our story.

Go with the flow while remaining in control of yourself. Do not forget that you are the main hero of your story. Everyone else is simply a character, and circumstances are meant to help you, even when they are sometimes disguised as something painful.

To be fully human is to know pain and suffering. You are not a robot. :) Only through these experiences do we gain wisdom, peace, and harmony, which are our goals.

All of this is absolutely necessary, considering that Jupiter has just entered Leo. We will also be transitioning into this sign, while the South Node will be moving there as well. Themes of expression, visibility, leadership, performance, courage, self-definition, and voice will become very important.

For us to fully embrace Leo and all its greatness, we must prepare the heart for it. Go back to my previous Mercury retrograde articles and read about the Braveheart.

Nothing new is entering the space. Instead, we are returning to everything our previous foundations consisted of: previous versions of ourselves and previous stages of life. All of it is now undergoing transformation so that we can understand things better, realign with our true selves, and enter a new stage fully ready and healed. Healing is becoming very important.

Lastly, before I move on to the signs that will feel this the most, I want to mention once again that although this is a cazimi, Mercury is still retrograde. The realization may be true, but the timing is not yet final.

Do not rush into final decisions when the matter still requires review. Do not act upon your emotions when you are out of balance, or you may repeat the same old mistakes. Do not confuse intensity with accuracy or allow nostalgia to rewrite reality right now.

Understand, listen, and contemplate things, and you shall receive the answer. It will be sudden. :)

Obviously, the people who will feel this most directly are those with natal planets or angles around 18° to 23° of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, and Libra. The Mercury retrograde cazimi happens at 20°.

Cancer placements may experience this very personally during this period. Something connected to identity, emotions, the body, family, or self-protection can become much clearer for you right now. It may also feel like finally understanding why you have been reacting in a certain way to particular things.

Capricorn placements may feel it through relationships, commitments, boundaries, and responsibilities. They need to learn how to balance emotional needs with practical reality. A conversation or realization may show you where something has become too one-sided or emotionally unavailable.

Aries placements may feel it through the home, family roots, private life, and old emotional patterns. This may bring something from the past back into your awareness, especially something connected to your childhood, living situation, or family dynamics.

Libra placements may feel it through career, visibility, direction, reputation, or public life. Something private or emotional may connect to a professional decision, your public role, or the way you want to be seen by others.

All in all, nothing necessarily needs to happen externally. Because this is a retrograde cazimi, the main event happens internally first: a memory, realization, conversation, dream, or sudden understanding of something that has been emotionally unclear.

I would love to hear your thoughts and how this manifested for you. As always, have a great day ahead, and thank you all. Don’t forget to subscribe. :)

In Vedic astrology, the last part of Cancer belongs to Ashlesha Nakshatra (which is lunar constellation and one of 27 divisions of the zodiac, each with its own symbolism, mythology, planetary ruler, and unique qualities that add deeper meaning to a planet's position) Ashlesha begins at 16°40′ Cancer and continues until the end of Cancer. This nakshatra is ruled by Mercury, and this is what makes the current Mercury retrograde so meaningful, because Mercury is moving back and forth through the same part of Cancer that, from the Vedic perspective, already carries Mercury’s intelligence.

Ashlesha is one of the most psychologically complex nakshatras. Its name is connected to the idea of embrace, entwining, clinging, and wrapping around something. Its symbol is the serpent, and its deities are the Nagas, the serpent beings connected to hidden wisdom, underground knowledge, instinct, protection, poison, medicine, and ancient memory.

So when we talk about Ashlesha, we are entering a very specific layer of Cancer. This sign already rules memory, the mother, family, ancestry, emotional protection, the home, the inner child, the body’s emotional waters, and the need to feel safe. But Ashlesha takes these Cancerian themes into a much deeper and more hidden place. It shows where emotional memory becomes a cord and where attachment becomes a pattern. It’s a spot where something from the past still wraps around the nervous system, the mind, the body, the heart, and the way we respond to life.

And now it’s so obvious how it connects to serpent symbolism, which is one of the oldest patrons of wisdom, danger, healing, transformation, instinct, and awakening. It lives close to the ground, moves through hidden places, senses vibration, sheds its skin, and carries both poison and medicine. This is the entire mystery of Ashlesha. The same force that can bind us can also teach us just like the same memory that can poison the emotional body can also become the exact place where healing begins.

Mercury is the messenger, the translator, the mind, the nervous system, the words, the signs, the symbols, the one who connects one layer of reality with another. In the Vedic system, the planet gives nakshatra a very sharp intelligence. It can see through things and read between the lines. It can notice what was never said directly as well as understand the psychology of a situation, the hidden motive, the emotional hook, the invisible agreement, the manipulation, the attachment, the fear, the protection mechanism.

Mercury retrograde in this part of Cancer can bring up things that feel of strange, old, familiar, and emotionally loaded at the same time. A conversation can bring you back to something you thought was finished. Or maybe you’re expecting a closure? A message can open an old emotional door. A family situation can suddenly show its deeper pattern. A dream can reveal something your conscious mind did not want to touch. You will feel it before you understand it.

This can be a family pattern, an ancestral fear, a childhood reaction, an old attachment, a complicated relationship, a memory that still controls your choices, or a silent loyalty to something that no longer serves your life. It can also show where we confuse love with control, care with dependency, protection with fear, and emotional closeness with energetic entanglement.

Now, because this nakshatra can show the knot, it can also show where the energy is trapped, where we keep returning to the same person, the same reaction, the same wound, the same emotional story, the same situation in a different form. And because Mercury is involved, the healing often comes through realization, naming things correctly, having the conversation, writing something down, hearing the truth in your own words, or finally understanding the hidden logic behind your own behavior.

During this retrograde, pay attention to what comes back through words, memories, dreams, conversations, documents, messages, family themes, old emotional reactions, and body sensations.

You may suddenly understand why a certain situation had such power over you or see how a family pattern repeated through your own choices. You may realize that what you called intuition was sometimes fear, and what you called protection was sometimes control. You may notice where your body tightens, where your breathing changes, where your chest closes, where your stomach reacts, where your nervous system still remembers something your mind tried to move away from.

Cancer is the container. Ashlesha is what lives inside the container when we go deep enough. The soft emotional shell of Cancer can hold tenderness, memory, family, love, and belonging, but it can also hold fears, attachments, inherited emotions, protective instincts, and old survival patterns. Ashlesha brings us into that more hidden inner chamber.

And because Mercury is retrograde here, we are not moving through this only once. Mercury enters this territory, goes back through it, and then moves forward again. This is why something can return in phases. First, it appears. Then it pulls you back into reflection. Then it gives you the chance to respond differently. The same degree area becomes a place of review, readjustment, and deeper recognition.

This makes the current period very important for anyone who has been feeling that the same Cancer themes keep repeating: family, mother, home, belonging, inner child, emotional safety, ancestry, attachment, fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, emotional manipulation, silence, memory, and the body’s response to old pain. It plays out differently depending on the house it occupies in your chart.

Ashlesha can bring uncomfortable realizations, but it can also give tremendous power and help to see what has been hidden, name the pattern, separate true emotional connection from emotional entanglement, understand where your nervous system learned to protect you and loosen something that has been wrapped around your heart, your mind, your body, or your family story for a very long time.

This Mercury retrograde feels so connected to the transition from Jupiter in Cancer into Jupiter in Leo. Ive already mentioned in my Mercury Rx article that last year weve had Jupiter in Cancer and Mercury rx in Leo simultaneously, and now the opposite, also consider Jupiter himself turning rx last year at the same zone. And if last year Mercury came out after rx phase at 4 degrees of Leo, this time we are having a major and potent configuration involving the same degree but now with Jupiter being there and the latter one in Cancer. I love to look and uncover the patterns and this is one clue for you. go back to last year :)

Before the heart can open in Leo, the emotional body has to release what is still coiled around it. Before we speak about joy, courage, visibility, creativity, love, confidence, and expansion, we have to understand what kind of emotional material is still sitting inside the Cancer area of the chart. Ashlesha gives us the key to that hidden material, Mercury brings the message, Cancer brings the memory, The serpent shows the knot.And this retrograde gives us the time to go back, look again, understand deeper, and finally begin to loosen what was holding the heart from opening fully.

As always grateful for all of you, would love to read your thoughts and comments too :)
