Chiron Direct - November 5 & Neptune Direct - November 6/7

In Myth, Chiron is most famously known as the "wounded healer." Being immortal, yet receiving a wound that would have killed a mortal being, Chiron turned his pain into a way of serving others. A very intelligent being, and master in many fields, including herbalism and music, Chiron was trained in many areas of expertise, including other physical, cultural, and metaphysical arts. He took on a smaller, humbler role, and chose to spend his life with human beings by mentoring and training many of the most famous Greek heroes from his famous cave. As such, Chiron is like a personal spiritual trainer or coach. He cares about people, and he relates to individuals individually, giving them whatever guidance, gifts, or training they need to go forward in their life's journey. Chiron also stood in contrast to the patriarchal Olympian status quo. Chiron was basically rejected by his half-brothers, like Zeus, on Olympus, and instead lived by himself and 'ate the scraps.' Chiron can often be characterized as an 'underdog.' Chiron also represents 'alternative' and 'maverick' qualities. Rather than abusing his power with self-indulgence, Chiron lived quietly and assisted many people, acting as the key ingredient on many heroes's paths.

When Chiron transits, you will become more aware of the deep soul pain your carry. Find the source, for it is a clue to your story. Chiron direct helps us feel more intensely so we can find and heal our wounds. The wounding must be understood as the message of a benevolent personal guide to change direction in some way to keep moving in the best direction for one's life path. It's not easy, but it must be done if you want to be free.

The transitting Neptune causes sensitivity and receptivity to be much more acute. Due to this heightened receptivity, we are allowed to see far more than is possible when Neptune is direct. This is possibly a result of augmented intuitive or inner vision that bestows a different and more insightful perspective on matters. Neptune rules denial! When Neptune is direct, our feelings are more astute at picking up and perceiving the illusive. It is easier to ascertain information about issues that have eluded us. It is essential that you talk about what you are feeling, sensing or absorbing because Neptune direct can produce a type of psychic overload for very sensitive people. Heightened sensitivity can be both an asset and a liability. If you feel a little paranoid during this period, it may be that you are picking up too much from your external environment. As an asset, this period is excellent for using and cultivating your psychic perceptions.
