A Healing Gift in Disguise: Mercury Retrograde Aligns With Chiron in Aries

This Monday, April 15th, isn't just the Cancer moon squaring up to the Aries sun for our first quarter moon choice point, it's the second out of three conjunctions between Mercury (the mind and messenger) and Chiron (the wounded healer) in Aries, sign of self.

This is our first in a series of major healing alignments that are taking us right into the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus on April 20th, a very cathartic Scorpio full moon on April 23rd, Mercury direct on April 25th, and then finally, the stabilizing Taurus new moon on May 7th.

If there's healing still to do around this Chiron and north node in Aries theme for you, you're going to be feeling this.  The depth and level of healing work left to be done around this will determine how you experience this astrology.

If you're feeling it intensely, this may at first feel like a lot of old stuff coming up you were hoping you were done with. It may seem that all of a sudden, those old wounds are all being stirred and agitated, coming up to the surface, and it's the last thing you want to deal with.

Have courage!

This is a truly beautiful opportunity to heal the wounds of self that have been holding you back from the love and life you want - you have so much cosmic support right now!

But healing it means feeling it.

This is all happening in Aries, and Aries is about your identity and having a strong sense of self, being authentic and self-assertive, and having the fire to go after your desires.

It's not uncommon to have anger surface when we initial begin healing, especially if you've been shut down in a state like freeze, and with all the healing happening in Aries right now, you might very well experience this.  It's important to understand it's valid, but needs a constructive and appropriate outlet.  Anger suppressed and turned inward or displaced is destructive and is distorted from it's original purpose.

Chiron, known as "the Wounded Healer," is about our core wounds - abandonment wounds more specifically.  In Aries it speaks to the kind of wounds that have us doubting our very right to exist, feeling shame and backing down when we make attempts to self-assert and get what we want.

Monday's conjunction between Mercury (now retrograde) and Chiron is the second in a series of three, and this is "the big one."  This is the one where we really do the work, as Mercury is in review mode now.  The first of these conjunctions was March 20th - this was the opener or introduction.  The final one will be May 7th, (the same day as that stabilizing Taurus new moon I mentioned above) and this will be the resolution of the issue and moving forward.

This is a healing gift in disguise, one that is helping you transcend those old wounds - even if you are "feeling the fear and doing it anyway."

Understand that the energies are supporting you now in moving into a stronger and healthier sense of self, self-assertion, and self-value.

The really good news is, if you are struggling with this, I have a blueprint for getting you from where you are now to that new sense of self, and I'd love to share it with you.
