Today is May 26<\/strong><\/a>. The Sun is square Chiron, from Gemini to Pisces. This is the perfect astrology for sex scandal-du-jour, blamed on men. Sun-Chiron contacts are about the sense of the wounded male, inner male or father. Many of us grew up around men like this, men who could not or would not fully express themselves; how could they, given their situations? And the ones who did were often blamed for abandoning us. Don’t worry — you won’t be attacked by the nearest feminist if you describe the no-win situation many men get painted into, or allow themselves to be painted into. <\/p>\n

Fe Bongolan writes, “The Sun’s ingress into the early degrees of Gemini these last three days finds many of us beginning new directions by distances ranging from small increments to leaps of faith. On these journeys — a form of creative ‘walkabout’ — we’ve begun exploring what we’re capable of, what tools we’ve got to get there, and how far we’re brave enough to go. With the Gemini Sun squaring Chiron in Pisces, those journeys are deepened. Chiron is associated with a wound, ancient or recent. Often, that ‘wound’ is felt as a limitation and a heightened awareness, a creak in your knee that prevents you from dancing full out, a sense of weakness that makes you feel vulnerable, or an old fear that you may never succeed in what you dream, do or say. But today’s Sun square has the help of an exact sextile to Uranus, the Awakener — also known as Prometheus.” Let’s come back to Uranus\/Prometheus in a moment. <\/p>\n

The thing about Chiron-styled injuries is that they awaken potential. The seeming limitation, or the pain, or the struggle, brings something out that might not have come out otherwise. We know this about life, and often wish it were some other way (and it can be); but then it is possible to find your way to a sense of gratitude for what shapes and informs you so deeply. Prometheus was the guy who was chained to the rock as punishment for stealing ‘the fire of the gods’ (however you interpret that) and bringing it to mankind. A bird would eat his liver every night, and every day it would grow back — day after day. In transcending his own injury, Chiron also freed Prometheus from that horrendous situation. Chiron and Prometheus are bound by karma, and they are linked up today because both are taking aspects from the Sun. Today’s aspects seem to say: remember, there is a way to freedom.<\/p>\n
