🌌Transit Astrology: Mercury ℞ conjunct Chiron ♈ 19°
Opportunities to connect with OURSELVES and turn inward (℞) to connect (☿) with a wound (⚷) in how we may assert ourselves, express ourselves outwardly, as well as having a sense of who we are (♈). We may be facing outdated thought processes and perceptions of our lives and who we identify as which could cause some of us to self-sabotage and lean on outdated coping mechanisms. Naturally, we want to stay where we feel comfortable and safe. The idea of relying on new thought patterns and coping mechanisms can insight fear from within, this is a normal response for having to go through changes. Life may be giving us the opportunity to slow down, take a step back, and gain a new awareness on what our self-sabotaging methods are trying to tell us about what it is that we need.
Now is the time to learn how to meet our essential need to be our authentic selves and creatively assert a new identity that is built on a spiritual foundation of love, understanding, and trust for one's way of expression (dispositor ♂♓conjunct ♄♓) so we can move beyond meeting our needs through self-sabotage. Those things that are coming up now that bother you are not external forces holding you back, they are your own mind identifying with what it is in your life that can be fixed, adjusted, changed, transformed. If you over-identify with these wounds and project them onto external forces, then you’ll only be continuing the circle or rut you’ve found yourself in.
You feel stuck.
If you can figure out how to drop the facade, and connect with your wounded self that is silently screaming at you to hear them, then you open the pathway to your true authentic self– the self you desire to embody. Full acceptance and love of that wounded self is necessary because even the parts we do not like the most are part of who we are and they’re only ever doing a job that we gave them in the first place in order to protect our past self! By accepting, not rejecting, that part we are able to honor them and then allow for our true selves to step in and be the prominent comfort zone and identity.
You already have the answers within you. It takes practice and wisdom to hear and creatively act on them.
Communication issues may be heightened around this time due to the nature of the retrograde. Due to some being more identified with a wounded sense of self, there may be impulsive, inconsiderate actions taken by some who are struggling to cope with the rising wounded thoughts and perceptions and any fear associated with them. People may be falling back into self-sabotaging behaviors therefore retreating from connection with others or overdoing it with stepping over the emotional capacity and boundaries of others. Watch for road rage, mischief, contradictory actions, past yet intense relationships coming back… all things associated with Mercury being in retrograde.
