Chiron Enters Aries 17/04/2018.

Chiron moves from Pisces to Aries.

Today marks a  new, pioneering and fresh aspect to the realm of healing. As Chiron enters into Aries, beginning its transit on April 17th, 2018.

Chiron is called many different names, from  a comet, an asteroid and a planetoid. Its role in astrology relates to healing the wounds of our soul. These wounds that we carry with us create energy blockages which in turn can cause emotional, psychological and physical distress that impact our life significantly.

Chiron has been traveling through the transcendent and dreamy sign of Pisces for the past eight years, and today it is about to move into Aries. Aries is the male archetype sign that is ruled fire. It is the sign of the warrior, the go getter and adventurer.

Chiron gets us to do a self-assessment and to look deep into what is working, what isn’t, what repetitive patterns keep resurfacing, what emotional distress or fears seem to never go away and ultimately to see how well our life patterns are supporting our ability to heal and what affects this has on our health. It is important for each individual to remember that Chiron’s main role astrological speaking is help promote the assimilation of our mind, body and spirit framework to ultimately achieve balance in our energetic systems.

While Pisces provided us with a divine doorway to bliss, insight and an intuitive path into our soul and its needs, it also created a transparency and dependency. It opened a door to alcohol, drugs and other nasty substances of addiction. This includes addiction to technology and a loss of self-identity! The focus now it is in Aries, will move into a state of health consciousness and undergo a radial health transformation. We will likely see new and pioneering shifts of medicine and healing during this phase. Exciting stuff.

Heads up to those who have  planets in cardinal signs, such as Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn (Which I have 60% in my chart) those of us will experience this transit the most, we might find ourselves feeling triggered emotionally, drained or perhaps a loss of energy. Cardinal signs will be challenged the most. You will be affected more than once over the next eight years. This means that you will have to tap into your inner warrior and tune into the Aries energy of courage and strength in order to embrace the messages and healing coming to you from Chiron. Fires signs such as Sadge and Leo will be showered with more of the healing energy. Enjoy!

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and it represents our personal self-development and personality. We will begin a new search for our identity, look outside from a new prospective at anything that is bringing us down. We will redirect and re self orientate our self. The energy moves from yin to yang as Pisces was about the greater good and the collective as a whole and Aries moves us into the “Self” makes it personal and more about the individual. Expect yourself to be asking questions such as “What am a I fighting for?”  “Why am I really here?” and  “What is my purpose?”. This aspect encourages us to discover more about our self and to take back your power. It initiates us to take action, fight for what you want and believe in and don’t take “NO”.

As we are set into motion on finding out our true identity we must gain courage to look deep within our self. To have the courage to look at yourself and discover what needs healing in order to move forward is hard for anyone, but with a planetary push from Chiron we are able to do so with confidence and come to an understanding of our enlightened journey on this planet! It’s about real transformation now, embrace it.

Chiron is offering it to those who want its healing energy, but its the original source may come from of place of pain, loneliness and darkness. Our deepest seeded internal conflict can be resolved if you are will to do the work. Have you looked at natal chart to see where Chiron is sitting to gain some insight on how to heal yourself? No matter what your age, when Chiron transits Aries it will create a significant shift. It will have an effect on all of us in some way.

Chiron in Aries will shifts our focus from omega to alpha from water to fire. It will shift our healing and our wounds towards our ego, our masculine self and our will and drive. Remember, this will give us the opportunity to get face to face with our deep wounds and heal them. Especially in regards to these areas of our self that are associated with rage, motivation, drive, anger, assertiveness, our relationship with the masculine and self focus over the  incoming years.

Are you suffering symptoms of Mercury Retrograde?

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

Yes , we are in a Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde is great at helping bring to our attention those shadow parts of us, parts we may of felt that didn’t need healing. Mercury retrograde is great at highlighting where the healing lies and the truth can be found. In Mercury Retrograde communication, travel, technology, equipment, travel and contracts can be upside down, backwards, misinterpreted, breakdowns and unnecessary disagreements occur.

At work, you can find yourself frustrated even though you’re sure that you’ve explained yourself clearly, people around you do the opposite and your fail-proof computer crashes. You experience equipment and mechanical breakdowns of all types even at home, when out and your car!

Mercury does rule the mind, mental clarity, talking, self-expression so all these over this period can become  unreliable, filled with misinformation where important data is missing or misunderstood. During this period we should watch for too hasty communications as Mercury rules our communications and thought process and well in Aires we can become very direct ,assertive and self-centered. Say what must be said but try to remember to do so with kindness and compassion.

Mercury Retrograde in Aires gives us the courage to take action on something you have struggled with over the past few weeks. What curve balls have you been dealing with over the past month? What repetitive issues seem to be surfacing? Career, a friendship, your living circumstance, a draining relationship?

If you  have found yourself or parts of yourself being exposed, and in order to work on yourself you are stressed you must remember that you also need to love yourself unconditionally. When there is a lot going on give yourself some space, as much as the mind wants order, you will find when too much is going on we get agitated and stressed. When there is times of stress you must remember you are feeling a lot of things, so give yourself some space. Give yourself permission to experience those emotions instead of categorising it, organising it. Just let what needs to be revealed,happen. In these topsy upside and can be dark days of stress and frustration use your energy and see the small joys and blessing in your day. Even though you may be suffering and want to go on strike, see the small happy moments in the day and the lesson in the bad situations! Don’t stuff your feelings away,

The discomfort  and madness we are going through and experience on any level in Mercury Retrograde or not there is a choice to choose love and happiness! You can love someone and be mad, you can be frustrated but still caring, go with the flow, be present to everything that’s going on during this period, and don’t disqualify it because there is discomfort!! It often takes deep courage to admit to your mistakes and it is likely that is a necessary part of the conversation you must have. We all make mistakes, take responsibility and move forward with determination and love.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MERCURY RETROGRADE

“ What does Mercury Retrograde mean”

You may have heard your friends say, “Oh, no, Mercury is in retrograde again!” And you may have wondered what in the world are they talking about… I know my best friend gives me that look every time I mention Mercury… Well no more confusion and don’t panic if you don’t know astrology, im no Nostradamus myself but here are a few key facts and a quick rundown on what you need to know to get you through “ Mercury Retrograde”

If you still have no idea what I’m talking about, here we go… As we know planets are always spinning (and if you didn’t than there is a fun team room fact you can share) Retrograde is when a planet “appears” to stop spinning and move backwards. Don’t worry all planets do this, but when Mercury goes retrograde (up to four times a year for about three weeks at a time) us awesome earthlings feel the full, crappy force of it.

Even people whom “don’t believe in astrology” or all that other mumbo jumbo, new age hippie business often believe in the crazy aftershocks of Mercury retrograde. Why is that you may ask?

It’s because Mercury, is said to be the planet that influences communication, logical thinking and travel. So when the planet goes retrograde (backwards in the sky) all things influenced by Mercury go backwards.

So to explain it simply-

Don’t make any important moves when Mercury is retrograde. Nothing will be settled successfully for the future during these periods,so is not a good time to sign any new contracts or even to shake hands on any new agreements. Do not sign a new lease or close on a house during this time. Anyway you will find it nearly impossible to nail down a plan. It’s also highly unreliable to complete important transactions, access accurate information or make big decisions.

When Mercury retrogrades it is notorious for information and communication being scrabbled. Which causes confusion so don’t forget to clarify information and get feedback when communication with others. Miscommunication is rife during retrograde, so make sure you’re expressing your thoughts, ideas and opinions as clearly as possible. You’ll have to work harder to get your point across.

I advise you that it would not be a good times to do anything involving communications, such as launch a magazine, website (which I just realised I did duh!). Also it is also considered poor time to launch any new endeavours, even if they are not related to the communications industries.

And don’t forget verbal agreements are considered the same as written ones.

Here are some do’s and don’ts to get you through this craycray time…

DON’T initiate anything new

DON’T purchase any BIG items

DON’T forget to check the details

DON’T put your life on hold

DO express yourself extra clearly

DO expect travel delays

DO enjoy a bit of down time

DO finish old projects

So how can we  use Mercury retrograde energy during this time?

Clean out your closet “ trim the fat” , the mercury retrograde energy is fantastic for culling out those unwanted items that gather dust in your wardrobe ‘ they say if you haven’t worn it in the last 6 months be merciless and chuck it, chances are you will never wear it! And don’t worry you will have plenty of planters help

Forgive and forget..

Mercury retrograde encourages us ( sometimes as painful and annoyed as ripping a bandaid off an old wound you thought had healed) or in some cases to tie up loose ends, as we all know bitterness looks ugly on people especially if you are holding onto a grudge towards someone else. Bitterness, negative emotions and bad vibes as well all know is like drinking Poison and waiting for the other person to die… USELESS and honestly it’s make you age terribly so my advise.. It’s time to move on remembering you don’t have to forget but forgive, not for them but for your own peace.

Rejuvenate your living space..

It’s always fun giving your home a makeover, and if you have been thinking about redecorating for a while now is the time, tap into the Mercury retrograde energy and go for it. Your home is a reflection of your fabulous self and there is no better feeling than being proud of your home, it’s an instant confidence boost but remember no BIG PURCHASES during Mercury retrograde so plan plan plan, Rearrange your place , spring clean, jump online and get lost on Pinterest planing and getting creative ideas for your dream home. Toss out the old stuff and donate it to charity ( good karma) or sell it online and make extra cash for when you can start buying up big!

Get nostalgic

Mercury retrograde is the best time to step into a time warp, play that old CD from high school, watch movies you loved as a kid , flick through old photos remember all the times, feel like a kid again when everything was magical!

So sit tight guys, Mercury retrograde luckily only last a few weeks, so use this time to do anything that involves “Re” revise old plans and projects, rearrange , redecorate and revisit any personal issues and feelings that happen to come up during this time , it’s an indication it hasn’t been fully healed. And remember this is not a time to start anything new or sign new contracts. Mercury the messenger is having a mini melt down so expect mixed messages, communication brake downs, technology malfunctions and travel hiccups.
