Eris, the planet of social chaos and tribal identity, is met by the self-aware presence of Chiron. It will be a rude awakening for some. It’s a transcendent moment for others.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — The Chiron-Eris connection is taking place in the angle of your chart where you meet the world face-to-face. It’s also what you see when you turn your head a little to the left, and little to the right. You may be looking around at upheaval and weird developments and wondering what in God’s name is happening to the world around you.

Last week while I was finishing an article about society-wide trauma bonding, another event was being served up: the claimed “assassination” of a conservative activist I had never heard of, Charlie Kirk. Did you know who he was? Co-founder of Turning Point USA and a close ally of Donald Trump

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — You’ll be running the table, or the whole casino, if you can stay out of your way and make clear decisions that you stick to. There seems to be an inner debate over whether to do what others suggest or what you know is right. This inner debate, such as it is, must be articulated, not left a morass or jumble of thought.

Thursday, it’s been 24 years since we got the announcement that everything would now be different. In this article, I plan to review that deeply personal transformation and also take a new look at the astrology associated with it. I propose that the wounds inflicted by the Sept. 11 incident have been left untended, and that neither as a society nor as individuals have we begun to process the grief it created. We just think we can move on, or that we have. Yet the suppressed grief of violent incident after incident is making people less stable, less trusting and leading to many mental, emotional and physical complications.
