Today is June 13, 2011<\/strong><\/a>. The Moon is making its way across late Scorpio, on course for a total eclipse Wednesday at 4:13 pm EDT. The Moon will make an opposition to Mars at 1:43 pm EDT, which is a cue to avoid conflict and pay attention to what might be brewing underneath the surface. Once the Moon completes that aspect, it goes void until ingressing Sagittarius at 10:38 pm EDT.<\/p>\n

The Sun is conjunct Mercury in Gemini, and both are about to cross the South Node of the Moon. This is another way of activating the node. Look for messages and information that help us resolve past matters. Keep your mind on that as a kind of commitment and it will be easier and may even come naturally. We hear a lot about ‘letting the past go’ and less about completion and resolution — and learning what we really can learn. This is one of the great benefits of going through things. <\/p>\n

The South Node can represent many different dimensions of the past. It can have the feeling of childhood, of ancestry or of past lives. It can have all three at once. With Gemini being the current location of the South Node, you may find yourself taking a different viewpoint or reinterpreting something from your personal history. You may get another side of the story, such as something you’ve never considered nor had a clue existed. Often we are hung up on the past because of something we don’t know. Persistent mystery can create an attachment — and so too can denial. Now would be the time to encounter that mystery. One of my mottoes as an editor, and the first thing I will teach a young investigative reporter, is ‘know when you don’t know’. One of the problems with this thing we like to call human intelligence is that it can have a blind spot about what it does not know. That may seem like a paradox — how can you be aware of what you’re not aware of? That’s different from being aware that you have some missing information. You might call this not jumping to conclusions; the mind loves to do that, which is fine and can be intuitive, but you really have to know when to check in with yourself. It’s vital to know what you don’t know. And it’s just as necessary to know what you think, but which may or may not be true.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Venus is in Gemini and is gradually making its way into that exact square with Chiron in Pisces. Venus to Chiron aspects can have a cosmic-erotic flavor to them. Contact between the inner or personal planets and Chiron makes the presence of Chiron obvious. If you want to see the way Chiron manifests in your life, study the places in your chart where it makes contact with the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars. In this case, the contact with Venus illustrates a kind of compelling necessity to integrate what we think of as love or sex with what we think of as healing. This does not necessarily come intuitively to most people, but with a square, such a notion will be a little more difficult to miss.<\/p>\n
