Disseminating Moon Phase: share, distribute, teach, demonstrate
Moon: Gemini
Though Mercury certainly received his fair of attention yesterday, the main player today is our friend Chiron, the Wounded Healer. In Greek mythology, Chiron was the Teacher of Teachers, teaching the epic heroes the arts of war, teaching the great healers the arts of healing (what we call today alternative healing), teaching the wide-eyed magi the arts of the stars. He's a Renaissance type of "man" and most welcome during the birth of our Second Renaissance.
Mars and Neptune are in opposition and both are in aspect to the Chiron Point - the degree in the sky where Chiron was first sighted. 04 Taurus is Chiron's "birthplace." The Chiron Point holds all of Chiron's energetic themes. Mars is in trine to it and Neptune is in sextile, but the two planets are in opposition to each other. Essentially, they are creating a Full phase to each other, as in a Full Moon.
Full phases bring full light. All month long (and all next month) we are in the "Full" time of year. The overarching energy is framed to show us what we need to see. It's a giant mirror right in front of us. So we have an abundance of "full" energy - energy that reflects, mirrors, and reveals.
The difficulty arises with Chiron is influencing our perception of what's being revealed in the mirror. This is because we tend to wound and sabotage ourselves and others (or hurt ourselves through others) when Chiron is dominant. We become hyper-critical, finding all sorts of things that are "wrong" or even causing things to seem wrong. Chiron is in Pisces, centering the theme of wounding around spirituality. Chiron in Pisces questions faith and trust in Oneness. It questions the Universe's divine origins and potentials. It stirs feelings of victimization and betrayal. It suffers in cynical silence. Chiron rules knives, cutting, and slicing and we can really do a number on ourselves, metaphorically speaking, if we are not aware.
But we are aware, and we are aware of the other side of Chiron, the gift inherent in the wound. What wounds us is also what helps heal us, and in turn helps us heal others. To counter the emphasis on "wounding," we will infuse the energy with unwavering faith. No matter what happens today or how you feel about yourself, maintain your footing with Gaia-Sophia, the divine being embodied as our planet. Remember that we are engaged in conscious co-creation with her, sharing her dream and manifesting her vision for humanity (ultimate freedom and expression). Contrary to the way it seems, the gift of Chiron in Pisces is its actual closeness to Spirit.
I say it all the time: the mission today is to find beauty and fall back in love with life. It's quite a challenge when Chiron energy dominates, making everything seem futile, meaningless, and hopeless. But we don't fall for that trick. We see the complexity of the matter, and, with wisdom, we proceed to override the imprint of wounding and push love for life itself.
Connect with the planet. Be observant of her creatures and creations. Find wonder. If you were an alien visiting this planet, how amazed would you be to see birds flying overhead as everyone goes about their business? What would you think of a running stream? We take these things for granted, but only the physical manifestation of the mind of a Divine Being could produce the variety and volume of species in our habitat-planet. According to the ancient Gnostics, Sophia's materialization as a planet when she "fell" from the Galactic Center is unprecedented. It stands to reason that our planet is rich beyond measure. Let's not forget.
