Today is Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012.. The waning Moon is newly in Scorpio, lending its potentially brooding-yet-passionate flavor to these next couple days. And what days they are. The question is, what do you do with the mix of auspicious opportunity and edginess the sky is presenting you with?
Perhaps the most interesting piece of the picture is Jupiter in Taurus sextile Chiron in Pisces. This isn’t exact till Feb. 14 (Valentine’s Day), but is in force now. Due to the retrogrades of both planets this past year, this is the third of three sextiles these two planets make to each other from their current signs. However, this is the first of the series not to be closely related to an eclipse. The first, on July 2, was the day after the New Moon eclipse in Cancer (which itself was the third in a series of three eclipses). The second Jupiter-Chiron sextile was Dec. 6, and that fell between our most recent two eclipses (and during that fascinating Mercury retrograde), just four days before the Full Moon eclipse in Gemini.
So what does all that mean? I’m not sure, actually. But it’s entirely possible this particular sextile holds some potential integration of the messages, insights and energies you experienced with those two eclipse seasons in 2011. Eclipses are said to continue unfolding for 6 months to a year after they occur, and we’re well within that timeframe. So, what were the messages, insights and energies you experienced? And now that we’re into 2012, are you feeling any sort of resolution or step forward or door opening in those parts of your life that were speaking up then?
