Consider that you are a whole, unfragmented being. We all have parts of ourselves we find challenging or that seem unfamiliar, and you may recently have discovered one. Where might this side of you have sprung from? What was its purpose, and can it still be useful to you today? Answering these questions will give you a fuller picture of who you are, and will probably leave you on far better terms with yourself.

One of the overarching conditions of the sky right now is the presence of a curious number of planets in a particular slice of their respective signs — specifically, from about 23-26 degrees. Many of these objects are making squares or sextiles to each other, which imply potential movement and integration. The squares urge action, and the sextiles offer opportunities to get some traction if you make the effort.
Without trying to detail each individual aspect in the pattern, there seem to be a few themes worth looking for in your life currently. Among those are: the idea of fair or mutually beneficial social exchange (how can you offer your friendship in a new way? How might you want to use your social capital to further a collective goal?); discerning actual sexual energy from other energy that’s been magnified or perceived too broadly; making time and holding space for sex where appropriate; the choice between diplomacy or subversion when feeling pressured to make foundational changes.
Yet today’s major aspect is not part of that particular pattern: the Sun conjunct Chiron in very early Aries. Notice today where you’re being asked to stand out in some way — not in terms of glamour or ego; rather, the act of being fully who you are no matter what others around you are doing. It relates to having a sense of purpose. How well does yours match your current outward reality? What would you need to do to draw that sense of purpose into your actions better? Bear in mind that doing so might not fit what others consider ‘normal’ patterns. So what?

A lot on your mind? No doubt but are you loving your strength and dexterity of thought right now? The water signs are rarely recognized for their intellectual potential though those around you are highly unlikely to miss the fact that you are moving mountains at the moment. I will reveal to you the astrological secret of such fortitude and clarity: Venus. I am not speaking in metaphors when I say that the planet normally attributed to beauty sensuality and erotic attraction is in actual fact as far as I can tell the planet of true intelligence. Just remember that if you get overwhelmed.
As we go deeper into this most unusual and challenging phase of history, intelligence is the thing we need the most. That is the theme of the 2019-2020 annual edition of Planet Waves — audio now available for instant access. See more information here. If you’re looking for individual signs, order here.
In this new episode of Planet Waves TV [play video here], Eric explores the intriguing astrology around this year’s Libra Full Moon, which happens right after the Aries equinox. This involves some powerful alignments with Chiron, Salacia and Pholus.

Dear Friend and Reader:
When everyone around you is wounded and hurting, if you initiate and pursue your own healing it will probably make you stand out. I suspect countless people have had this thought before, but it came to mind as I was thinking about tomorrow’s conjunction of the Sun and Chiron in Aries. I don’t know how many people think of that possibility consciously before starting (for example) a therapy process; even if present unconsciously, however, I imagine it holds some people back.

Sun conjunct Chiron occurs at 2:38 pm EDT Friday (18:37:51 UTC).
And although it’s not in the very first degree of Aries, it is in the second degree, which is still Aries Point territory (the nexus of personal and political).
Whatever tomorrow’s astrology describes for you personally, it will likely resonate with issues that are prominent in our collective social environment right now.
This is the first conjunction of the Sun and Chiron in Aries since Chiron left Pisces for good on Feb. 18. As far as I can tell, it is the only conjunction these two bodies will have in the first five degrees of Aries for this particular journey of Chiron in Aries (though next year will come close; that one happens in the sixth degree of Aries).
Dear Aries Sun, Rising or Moon Reader:
In a world full of pressure and chaos, your solar year just began with a bit of a bang: just hours after the Sun ingressed Aries on Wednesday, the Moon opposed it for a Libra Full Moon that contacted some potent points in a very active sky. How was it for you? Energizing or tense?
One of the Full Moon’s key contacts was with Chiron, which recently began a long-term journey through your sign. It also reverberated with ‘small cause, big effect’ Pholus (in Capricorn), and with an asteroid called Salacia (in Aries) that seems to relate to a process of maturation around sexuality.
Did anything relating to those themes manifest for you in the last couple days?
Chiron in Aries is going to help you focus on who you are in the world now — and who you’re in the process of becoming. Uranus, which just began its journey through your second house, Taurus, is there to help you reevaluate what you value (including how you use your body, your possessions, your talents and your self-worth). Get ready to innovate, improvise and re-set — while keeping your feet firmly on the earth in the process.

Remember that integrity is your best friend. You seem to have a good deal of energy focused on you, and may draw various people toward you in the near future. Make sure the relationships you form, of any sort, are healthy and constructive for you and for everyone else involved. That starts with surrounding yourself with honest, compassionate people, who are likely to bring forward your best and brightest qualities.

We’re officially in a new season, and last night’s Libra Full Moon is starting to dissipate. Yet with such a potent setup to start the Sun’s time in Aries, chances are you’re still feeling the reverberations. Continue to give yourself a little delay before replying to any recent communications that might have raised your dander and defenses the last couple days. We’re in “small cause, big effect” territory through the weekend, thanks to the fiery Aries Sun’s impending square to the centaur Pholus in Capricorn. On top of that, Mercury is still very much retrograde in Pisces, and very much conjunct Neptune — indicating potentially imprecise thinking, possible emotional reactivity in communication, and an inability to see clearly the truth of a situation (including the emotional truth).
On top of that, today’s square between Venus in Aquarius and Mars in Taurus could be kicking up some inner tension. That might simply play out as a spike in arousal, including toward someone new. But it could also indicate discord in relationships where there’s hidden or frustrated sexual energy. Venus in Aquarius describes the potential for this to rear up in a friendship where there’s unspoken attraction, rather than with an established lover or someone you’re actively pursuing. Does that Aquarian influence help to cool things off and make it more of an intellectual exercise, or does it just make it weirder? How does that align with what your body’s telling you? If you have the opportunity to express this energy sexually (whether solo or with a partner), it’s possible that taking your time with the sensuality of it while experimenting a little might yield the most satisfying results.

My guess is that this means this year’s Sun-Chiron conjunction may ring the personal/collective Aries Point bell the loudest — though I don’t know for certain if it works that way. And who knows: maybe we will be able to hear the signal better once we’ve all gotten more used to this energy next year? After all, we’re also adjusting to Uranus in Taurus and wading through Mercury’s retrograde in Pisces, both of which seem to be having a slightly destabilizing effect on many people. Then again, when is there not something in the astrology describing things being off-kilter, or provocative, or confrontational, or energizing in some way?
