Burning to Heal: Chiron + Mars in Aries
Today, Mars shifted beyond transcendent, spiritual Pisces and entered Aries. Here, it also links up with our “Wounded Healer” asteroid, Chiron. The combination of this energy inspires a realm of spontaneity, forward motion and aggressiveness in the realm of collective, physical healing. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac and is referred to as the sign of “self”. It is the ego sense, physical self and specifically governs the bodily domain of the head. Since it is the first sign of the Zodiac experience, the energies here are baser and less complex. What this means for society, is there may be pioneering advancements and/or rash, impulsiveness in the realm of collective healing; likely within the sphere of Covid-19. Interestingly, the current methods for collectively assessing those symptoms are via temperature check of the head area; monitoring specifically for fever (heat); a very Aries indication. I traveled recently, so I can attest to this; it’s very Aries in nature; a quick, scan for heat and obviously cursory. Aries has a tendency to rush forward, but can leave a string of incomplete missions in its wake, unless the presence of more sustainable frequencies are present and utilized. Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn provide an opportunity for grounding these Aries missions with a deeper relevance. What’s especially distinguishing about this transit, is the duration! This Mars cycle goes retrograde part way through, extending its tour through Aries much longer than usual. It arrives today and ends January 6th, 2021. We will have a long window to explore the Covid-19 situation with resolve and determination and try different methods of approach. We will have to persist with our personal accountability (Aries) within a larger context of humanity, as this tour influences all life on earth.
Since Aries is the realm of fire and initiation, it would also be wise for the ecologists, firefighters and Indigenous Aboroginal experts to further unify and fortify their approaches ahead of fire season; to both refine and increase their means, cooperatively. Since this is a longer than usual celestial cycle, I’ll update this article with further information, when relevant. In the interim, stay cool and enjoy the fleeting days of the nurturing and soothing Cancerian Sun.
*Update 9/9/2020: Fires are indeed roaring over much of California and into the Pacific northwest. As I write this article from Humboldt County, California, an air pollution alert caused by smoke, has extended from San Francisco all the way to Seattle. It’s quite a sight see…awakening to an eerie orange sky. Hotels are booked to capacity in my area and people are scrambling to re-home themselves. If you’re an evacuee amidst this crisis, I recommend booking an Astrocartography reading with me, which can provide great support in charting your next best steps, geographically. Wishing everyone safe sanctuary now and always! Love, Aubrie.
*Update 9/28/20: Wildfires in the Napa Valley area are forcing local evacuations particularly in Santa Rosa.
*Update: October 22: The Boulder CO area is also dealing with massive fires, with over 3,000 evacuating the area.
