The Neptune–Chiron Conjunction
Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron have been traveling together in late Aquarius during the past year and a half. It is what has brought us a new “wind of change” with Obama and the Health Care movement and all the political upheaval. These changes have manifested on many, many levels besides politics. Mostly, since it really directs itself towards the collective, we are changing from within. Whether you like it or not, the winds of change are powerfully amidst us now. Granted, you may or may not care for the way they are manifesting, nevertheless, they are here because they need to be. Clearly and somewhat ironically, these new “spiritual upthrust” energies “just so happen” to be occurring during one of the darkest astrological periods of the past century, i.e., Saturn traveling opposite Uranus and Jupiter, all making a right-angle, or T-square to Pluto. So, we have the heavyweight Plutonian T-square along with the Neptune-Chiron conjunction.
Jupiter moved on just about the time of the death of Teddy Kennedy, almost as if he wasn’t “needed” anymore. Now, renegade and newbie “planetoid,” Chiron is paired with ye ole mystical cloud called Neptune. As Neptune was highlighted in last month’s newsletter, we can see just how hard it is to measure or delineate Neptune fuzzy spiritual effects.
Make no mistake about it: Neptune’s effects are always great and quite widespread
It is a major contributor the prevailing feeling of insanity in this land. Make no mistake about it. We are in a new world. It has never occurred before. It has never occurred before.
Translation: it is time we step up. P E R I O D
That is the voice of El Pluto. One sidelight here, before I continue with Neptune/Chiron. Do you think it’s a coincidence that 258 years after Pluto was last in Capricorn, when WE rebelled against the British, along we come with another “Tea Party.” And, they come along in the form of BP and dump crazy tons of poisoned oil in our Gulf? So, I got to thinking, really: Are we better off having had a USA since 1776 or would we really have been better off staying subjects to the King of England. That’s very logical question astrologically because Pluto is completing its orbit in late Capricorn in about 10 years. (just a second in astrological time.) I gave it much neutral thought, and I came to the conclusion, that given what we have done WITH OUR POWER (Pluto,) I really don’t think it matters. Both lands are corrupt. It’s all about the almighty pound or dollar. Your thoughts are certainly encouraged, welcomed, and entertained.
Back to Neptune and Chiron.
Neptune, as we know is this powerful, subtle, non-earthy, force that doesn’t support worldly activity or ambition. Chiron, as we are learning represents the “wounded healer.” I have found through intense study that the “wounded healer” part of Chiron is extremely overblown. Chiron, to me, is the clear new ruler of Virgo and represents the caring part of ourselves - the part that goes above and beyond the call of duty to serve, because it cares and wants things better, or perfected. This is why so many people strong with the Chiron/Virgo archetypes go into nursing fields.
As these two powerful strangers travel together, the collective is being bombarded with new innovative, progressive ways to feel about our roles here in physical form. Ones of service.
The last 3 times these two planets conjoined, barring the fact that Chiron was not “discovered” until 1977, was in 1800, 1877, and 9/4/45 in the sign of Libra as WWII ended, within one month of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – surely another moment of blanket insanity (Neptune.)
Let’s see if we can refine these energies that are coming from this pairing. Just consider just some of these keywords from both columns; mix them together and use your own intuition:
Neptune.........Chiron
------------------------
Selflesa........Renegade
Spiritual.......Healer
Confused........Destiny
Escapist........Wounds
Nonconformist...Magical
Godstruck.......Astrological
Unworldly.......Karma
Compassionate...Impelled
Mystical........Driven
Christ-like.....Global
Martyristic.....Non-personal
Translation during major Neptune times: get it together spiritually or go goofy
You can easily see how difficult it is to combine these two nebulous energies. Their natures are far from those of Saturn, Mars, or Jupiter. These big-time archetypes are combining in a brand new way because it’s the very first time they have ever been “together” since Chiron’s discovery in November of 1977. And that, is significant in Astrological terms. In this age-old science/art, a planet (or planetoid or asteroid) doesn’t “exist” until it is observed – much like the truths we find in quantum mechanics.
This is where the “talent” of the astrologer comes in. How do we possibly combine these patterns? It ain’t easy. We see that on the positive end, these two are joining to bring us a sense that we all have to extend our reach collectively and dig down deep inside of ourselves to find our unconditional love to help each other heal and survive - kinda like what that radical middle-Easterner Jesus Christ tried to teach us. Imagine that. You know, they guy on all the bumper-stickers.
So, as with all combinations, they manifest largely in a pure way into the collective mind as well as within each of the Sun signs. When one does so, the can come about in a greatly positive way or can bring us down too. If we fail during a Neptune/Chiron time it simply means we’re being too selfish and stubbornly defending and hanging on to a false notion, one where we are separate from each other and there is lack.
If we don’t truly adhere to the real meaning of the word Oneness,
then we’re going to get exactly what we have asked for:
more separateness than we may have bargained for
Thusly, these combinations of the Neptune and Chiron archetypes can manifest anywhere within the range of statements below per sign, depending on what “house” it appears in your own natal chart. If we examine the Pisces/Aries cusp in each of the following signs, we get these outcomes (this is not a simple “horrorscope” – feel the answers.) Blending what Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Chiron are doing together, we arrive at:
Aries – 12th into the 1st house. This is time for Aries to act. A C T. To lead and be the natural pioneer that you are. Aries are very pure and innocent. You must lead the way now to follow your God-given inspiration towards pure spirit. Influence others to get off of their butts and live in accord with the will of the Divine. You are a leader. Do so. Follow your instincts as opposed to being careful - the sure doorway to paralysis. You have been inspired lately. Do not listen to those who drive with their brakes on. It’s time for you to move and not explain or defend yourself to anyone. Follow your fire. Set your launch date for 3/11/11.
Taurus - 11th into the 12th house. Tough ole Taurus the Bull. This is time for you to start to look up from the Earth, your ruler, and see that there is an unbounded free spirit within you. Follow your gut – that’s always the answer for visceral Taurus. Taste it. You are being led by a powerful, intelligent, well-meaning Universal force. Believe it; you don’t have to see it. Use your great persuasive abilities and your persistence to overwhelm anyone who would have you lead a meek, shallow existence. Taurus is meant for the riches of life.
Gemini – 10th into the 11th house. You are now being inspired to go an octave higher in your career. You simply cannot continue to see your career as interesting or fascinating: you now must act on your long-held dreams! Gemini loves data and is fascinated by all the facets of the human mind. However, now is the time to combine your mobile library with the needs of mankind. You are the databank for us all. You are greatly needed and cannot continue to be distant and uninvolved. Now is the time for you to plug into your appropriate movement or else risk the possibility of becoming irrelevant. We cannot afford that now, you have too much to offer – give your mind to the larger whole.
Cancer – 9th into the 10th house. It is well-known how comfortable you are within your little Hobbit Hole. But, now, the comfort must be somewhat sacrificed. You have a great sense of care and leadership. Now is the time for you to take your public stance without the support of family and friends. This is no joke or “prediction.” It is time for you to see that the world cannot hurt you because it is only what you make of it. With the powerful Neptunian influence we are now granted, you need to show the world that we cannot continue to operate in a cold-hearted, dog-eat-dog world. We have to care for each other. That’s your job to teach. Cancer is the master at making sure we’re all nourished and cared for.
Leo – 8th into the 9th house. It has taken some time, but now, you are ready. Never uncomfortable behind the dais, Leo is now given center-stage. What are you going to talk about? Well, why not talk about what your mastery covers? Expression! You are needed now to help all of us learn that we all have an internal peacock that is yearning to spread its wings! Help all of those bound by self-consciousness and rigidity. Show them that dancing and singing is our natural state! What do you think we all did for millennia around the campfires before Johnny Carson? Help us return to the “primitive” nature of pure love in a non-digital format. Not available at Amazon or for podcast download.
Virgo – 7th into the 8th house. The servant of all. The ones ruled by Chiron itself. Virgo can no longer hide within the comfort of doing what it’s supposed to do. Nope. Won’t work anymore. You are the great skilled one. You are the one that goes above and beyond. But now, Neptune requires that you stop looking at emotions as if they are albatrosses. Use their power as fuel to help fix the myriad of human frailties. Virgo is and extremely powerful and underrated sign. Yes, you are more comfortable being behind the scenes, but now, it is your time to truly engage with others. Listen to their issues; don’t just offer to fix their washing machine or take them camping. Take time to be compassionate about other’s plights without giving them a lecture about where they screwed up.
Libra – 6th into the 7th house. Just as you are the natural 7th house, as Uranus re-enters Aries, it will activate your 7th house – that of partnerships. No, this does not guarantee a new relationship, but it ups the odds for sure. You are made to partner, for sure, but you cannot simply settle for that. You must continue to develop your strong intellect. Continue to lead others; teach them how to think clearly. Show people how they have many more options in life than they think. You’re no good to a partner if you don’t have a strong self. That’s the real focus here; learn to be a strong self – then, be concerned about being a twosome. It won’t work vice-versa. No one can fill anyone’s identity voids. It just isn’t possible, no matter how it looks
Scorpio – 5th into 6th house. How interesting. The sixth house is the house of self-perfection. How can Scorpio, the higher octave of Libra, specialize in self-perfection when it is obsessed with finding a devoted mate!? A true challenge. Scorpio has more than enough chutzpah to be formidable on its own. I know it is hard for you, but this is the time to follow your higher aspirations. This is not to say that you cannot find your “soul mate” right now (if one does in fact exist,) but your promptings now are leading you to your deeper courage. Scorpio is the sign of true strength. One reason that it is so hard for Scorpio to “mate” properly is simply because other signs don’t have your strength. Period. Now, you need to help all of us find our own inner courage. It is so needed now….
Sagittarius – 4th into 5th house. Imagine Sagittarius being urged to express itself! This is time for you to quit worrying about how others are going to perceive you, as if you ever did! The 5th house of expression calls you and politics are what you are all about. No, we don’t need Sag Ann Coulter to rage on anymore, but we do need your inspiration and cheerleader ability right now. Sag optimism is sorely in need during this Saturn-Pluto solemn era. Show the way, tell us where your arrow aims. Help all of us to find that spirit within each of us. You are a true leader of the zodiac – one of inspiration. Bluntly put, we need your bluntness now, just like England needed their Sagittarian, Winston Churchill, during their dark days during the bombing (PL) of London and all throughout WWII.
Capricorn – 3rd into 4th house. Ye Ole Goat. You’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but now, it’s time to act. You know what is wrong, both within your immediate family as well as the larger one. Your sensible, constructive skills of insight and wise guidance are much in need. We see the decay all around us from improperly formed or ill-maintained systems. They crash one after the other like dominoes. Your thorough, sound planning abilities are much in need now to design new paradigms to handle a tougher, more mobile, digital age. The old was bound to break and not being a sign lost to idealism, your firm hand is now in need so our new infrastructures will withstand the new tests of time.
Aquarius – 2nd into the 3rd house. To our genius Aquarians; perhaps no one is more sorely needed. Always 30 years ahead of your time and quite sure of yourselves mentally, we now need your holistic vision. The rest of us just don’t get it. We all move as the whole moves. That’s your specialty. Speak up, just like Tolle and Oprah are doing.
Pisces – 1st into the 2nd house. Will we ever learn? How patiently this sign waits. We still keep thinking that we can service just ourselves and win. Pisces, the master of unconditional love and patience, will just have to keep on quietly being itself. Your very presence acts as a confessional. We face ourselves with deep compassion and forgiveness because of you. What can you “do” now? Nothing. As always, there’s nothing to “do.” Just be your quiet, infinite self and one day, hopefully soon, we’ll all stop taking you for granted. The message you need to spread is that we all have perfect guidance within.
