Henry Seltzer ~ A New Moon Call for Re-Dedication [1]
Astrograph [2]March 9 2013
Monday’s New Moon [3] represents a welcome respite from the emotional entanglements of the Pisces [4] line-up of the proceeding week. While many planets remain in Pisces [4], including obviously the Sun [5] and Moon, the configuration has changed so that Chiron [5] is 
not so prominent as recently. Also, with the energy shifting forward, there is now less emphasis on introspection. While the value of living in the dark over this past week has been evident in terms of the insights gained, with this new configuration it is time to make a move toward a new direction.
Of course, Mercury [5] is still retrograde, and therefore still bringing an introspective framework to the planetary conversation in this new phase. Also, Mercury [5] in retrograde aspects Chiron [5], as do Pluto [5] and Saturn [5]. Jupiter [5] squares the Mercury [5]/Chiron [5] midpoint. The archetype of the Wounded Healer is still very much with us in altered form. I would say that the Chiron [5]ic impulse, that is the mental reflex to question ourselves and to seek to understand our inner wounding, has reached a more universal level.
There is also extraordinary emphasis on Pluto [5] in the 12th degree of Capricorn [4] with Saturn [5] and Chiron [5] in tight sextile and with the Sun [5] and Moon [5] in quintile to that degree. Chiron [5] with Pluto [5] - and with retrograde Mercury [5] - in this context represents the pain of recognizing how distant as a society we are from cosmic purpose. The ideal of divine love is very much in the forefront of our consciousness, every day. And yet the reality on the ground is very far from that ideal.
