Dear Friend and Reader,
Rachel Asher here, Planet Waves’ Associate Editor: Eric is taking a hiatus from writing for Daily Astrology and Adventure so he can focus on other projects for the Planet Waves site. Don’t fret, he’ll be back for the northern solstice on June 20. In the meantime, I’ll be here, bringing you some quotes from the past, the daily aspects and, my favorite, the daily Oracle, which randomly selects a horoscope from the archives.
While Eric’s away, we thought it would be a nice time to get some feedback from you. So, if you’re interested, email me at: editorial-at-planetwaves.net and answer the question: “What is Planet Waves?” Please write “Daily Astrology and Adventure” as the subject. I’ll be posting some of the responses over the coming days.
Today’s quote takes us to the summer of 2006, a time when Eric’s writing began really “breathing fire”, as he described to me on the phone a few days ago. Some may call it the Paris 1968 of Eric’s contribution to Planet Waves (alright, I’m the only one who calls it that.)
Soul to Soul — Brussels, Friday, July 21, 2006
Chiron in Aquarius represents the “tribal wound” we’re speaking of here, but also the ability to raise awareness around it and resolve the problem. Indeed, Chiron always resolves more than the perceived problem — there is an effect where power is concentrated around what we call an “issue” and a much higher order of reality can be evolved, developed or created. It’s very much the cosmic pearl, which is the result of irritation. When we respond consciously to Chiron, we are responding on the level of seeing the problem and creating a system of productive energy around it.
This factor is inserting itself right at the membrane between where the individual meets any form of a group; on the level of an individual’s perception of how they relate to a group; and other questions of whether one is able to break away from conformity to the rules.
Chiron in Aquarius will aspect some important factor in nearly every person’s natal chart, particularly vital planets on the fixed cross (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) that are the backbone of a chart. By these transits, the themes of this discussion will arise in a way specific to your life experience. For example, if you have a Scorpio Moon and have nourished your emotional need to be possessive, the square from Chiron could serve as a trigger to begin letting go of that.

Rock critic Bud Scoppa once described Bob Dylan as “the enigma, the elemental force, the phantom, the ‘self-contained unit of communication’.” Yes, yes, yes, yes. Consider all of these things individually, and what it would mean to embody them at the same time, and you will get a picture of what your power is at this moment. Your position is so strong, you don’t really have a clue because there are no precedents. You cannot rely on the past for information, and the past, I would add, cannot rely on you. In fact, the past is quickly approaching an encounter with the elemental force known as yourself, and it better watch out.
