The potential to clarify and heal some relationship issues is coming to the fore this weekend, and a simultaneous aspect may grant either the mental stamina to make real progress, or else the pitfall of stuck thinking. The astrology involves Juno (emotional needs, jealousy, desire for justice) conjoining Chiron (awareness, individuality, healing) in Pisces, at the same time Mercury in Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio. Both aspects are exact Saturday.
Juno conjoining Chiron in Pisces suggests the possible eruption of a “healing crisis” in the realm of the vision you hold for your intimate relationships and partnerships. It looks like Chiron is focusing its laser-beam lens on the ways in which unrealistic romantic ideals and expectations have been fed while Juno was recently conjunct Neptune.
In any kind of interpersonal relating, it’s one thing to hold out a creative, positive vision toward which to aspire. It’s another thing to proceed as if that vision is current reality, if doing so ignores the ways in which one is still clinging to outmoded or self-sabotaging behavior models and tactics. Those attachments to what is not working anymore need to be seen and addressed in tangible ways.
The asteroid Pallas in Virgo, opposite Juno-Chiron, speaks to the strategy angle of the equation. Pallas is political in nature, yet is a female mythological figure of the warrior variety; Chiron was a teacher in mythology, half man and half beast, also of the warrior variety yet far less warlike than his centaur brethren. The two share a common ground you can work productively, though it may require you to exercise some extra discernment in terms of who is or is not an adversary.
