New Moon conjunct Chiron and Mercury in Aries – 1/04/22
On the 1st April the New Moon will be positioned at 11 degrees Aries 31 mins. It will conjunct transiting Chiron and Mercury. Mercury is the Cosmic Communicator, the Messenger of the gods. Chiron is the cosmic body in our Solar System orbiting between Saturn and Uranus. Astronomers refer to it as a planetoid rather than a planet. Only discovered in November 1977, the archetype associated with Chiron is the wounded healer. Chiron also connects to the psychological process of transformation. This process is done by using natural healing methods to transform our weaknesses into strengths. To me, astrology is the best natural healing method. Wherever Chiron is placed in the birth chart is where we can experience a deep psychological wounding, that, when conscious of it, can be transformed into wisdom, through the development of emotional and mental strength. It’s placement in the birth chart shows where we can feel inadequate, little, inferior and alienated from our true self. It also shows how we can heal our own psychological wounds, and where, and how, we can provide healing to others.
Aries is a cardinal sign, an action sign – as are all cardinal signs. If you have one or more of the cardinal signs – i.e., Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn in your birth chart positioned between 9 – 13 degrees, you will feel the effect of this New Moon more so than others. The challenge is for you to “do it anyway’ whatever is the resistance.
For all readers aged 49-50, you will be experiencing a Chiron return to your natal Chiron. Respected astrologer and author of many books, Barbara Hand Clow, wrote and published a fabulous book on Chiron, titled “Chiron – Rainbow Bridge between the Inner and Outer Planets.” This book is one of my astrological favourites. It’s wise words enabled not only me but also my students to identify and work with their psychological wounds to naturally heal them by consciously transforming their psychology. For a more simple and non-technical description many people, including natural healers, use my Volume Two astrology book. Why? Because it contains a large chapter on Chiron. They work with my delineations to successfully work on themselves and their clients to facilitate healing.
Because Mercury is involved in the Aries stellium (the group of planets connecting to the New Moon) speaking and/or writing your feeling truth will be necessary. Come from your heart without blame, shame, fear, guilt or judgment and your healing process will be well underway.
A New Moon phase is for 2.5 days. Those who have connections in their birth charts to the degrees of a cardinal sign mentioned above will experience the energies of this New Moon more so than others. You will feel the Aries energy building up a day before the New Moon. During that day remind yourself that an opportunity will arise for a psychological healing to take place. Loving, calm and independent, self-assertive communication and follow through action will be needed.
May you choose to use the Aries New Moon energies to identify and to consciously heal your psychological wounds so that you may experience greater health and well being in the future. A planetary and a personal healing can take place at this time. Choose to use the energies well.
May you open your minds and hearts to receive and integrate these messages and allow the love guiding them to fuel your daily life,
Blessings and Love,
