Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day; it will journey there until Wednesday morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-care is key until Wednesday morning!
Monday morning, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges…
On the one hand, the desire to be actively engaged in collaborating with like-minded people who share our vision for a better future — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Venus & Mars in Aquarius, exact at 5am & 7:30am EST)
Monday afternoon, a Chiron/North Node alignment in almost 17 degrees of Aries becomes exact at 4:13pm EST. This alignment started to build in July of 2023 and will last until June 17th, 2024; it is at its most intense between January 24th and March 25th, 2024.
The last time we experienced this exact alignment in Aries was on Feb. 14th, 1969 — 55 years ago! The most recent Chiron-North Node alignment took place in Aquarius, on June 2nd, 2008. Before then, there was an alignment in Gemini on July 4th, 1984.
Chiron represents a bridge between the physical and the spiritual world. It is also referred to as the Wounded Healer.
It invites us to focus on a more holistic approach towards our passions and our physical activities — in other words, a healing process of the masculine energies in our world. We may feel more physically sensitive or humbled by our current human journey — and it is essential that we see ourselves and everyone else out there as “human”,
Our human nature comes with a feeling of separation, various limitations, and sometimes painful experiences. Our spiritual nature comes with an understanding that all is well and that compassion and love heal our feelings of separation and abandonment. We are now asked to integrate these two “natures”.
The North Node represents our collective and individual Soul’s Journey. It now invites us to make an effort to live from the archetypical energy of Aries. This means we need to trust our impulses, follow our passion, be courageous, and be ourselves completely, without apologies.
With this alignment, Chiron sets the agenda for our current North Node journey. With Chiron involved, our North Node journey focuses on a healing process of the masculine energies in our world. Compassion, love, and understanding are required on an individual and collective level if we want to move our relationship with the masculine to a higher vibrational place.
This is a very humbling experience. We are invited to be compassionate leaders in our own lives, embracing our humanity and inspiring the same in others.
It is important that we see ourselves and everyone else out there as “human” — and that we acknowledge that the human experience is not always an easy one, especially when we hold on to the ideas of separation and duality.
When we learn to stay away from judgments of ourselves and others and embrace our humanness through self-compassion and understanding, we become the Healers the world needs right now.
Ask yourself: Could I show the world, by example, what it looks like to be a humble and compassionate leader who inspires and doesn’t judge?
==> We’ll look at this long-term aspect in more detail — in connection with our birth charts — in our upcoming Forecasting Forum on Friday, Feb. 23rd, at 5pm EST/2pm PST/10pm London time.
