\nTomorrow is the Libra New Moon which I’ll cover in tonight’s Daily Astrology. This happens in an exact opposition to the minor planet Eris. That alignment is at 8:02 am EDT Monday. A few hours later is another unusual aspect — Mars square Chiron. This is connected to the New Moon two ways. One is that Eris is in Aries, which points to Mars because of the Mars-Aries connection; and in mythology, Eris and Ares (the earlier, Greek version of Mars) are siblings. Uranus is also in Aries amping up the New Moon and running additional power through that Mars.<\/p>\n

One other point before I describe the Mars-Chiron square: Mars has a lot of additional energy pouring into it from Scorpio, the other Mars-ruled sign — which is currently hosting Saturn and Mercury. Imagine all this energy from Aries and Scorpio flooding into Mars as it makes a square to Chiron.<\/p>\n

The square between Mars and Chiron represents two focused, potent forces applying to one another in a high-friction dynamic. Mars is in Sagittarius; Chiron is in Pisces, both being energetic, nervous, mutable signs that are looking for movement. Both are also connected to spiritual matters. With this aspect, it’s as if each pushes on the other with equal force. But it’s not a face-off; it’s a square, which is going to get movement one way or the other. This is a “something’s got to give” aspect, which can manifest as a block or the feeling of ‘holding it in’ before that something gives way.<\/p>\n

Mars square Chiron is one of the ultimate ‘stuck’ aspects. People with this natal placement can glow with energy, but often they don’t know what to do with it, or are scared to do anything with it. They can carry so much static charge that your hair stands up with you get near them, but they struggle to discharge the energy.<\/p>\n

This can manifest as overt creative and sexual blocks (including in some an odd phobia around sex), and a crisis over how to direct their will — which is complicated by the fact that they carry so much energy. Over time, this aspect can be the foundation for solid integrity, but it can take a while to get there. This can be true of all squares, which can come with the process of going back and forth between one planet and the other until finally integrating the two.<\/p>\n

When the event is a mutual aspect (two planets in realtime, contacting one another like Mars and Chiron are now) the back and forth can arrive in the buildup and the moment of choice emerges when the aspect happens.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now imagine the whole world feeling this way, going through the struggle on a cultural level. This does indeed describe conditions on the planet as they frequently manifest, though the current astrology pulls the whole thing into focus. The New Moon is a potential discharge point for this buildup. If you’re a control freak, there may be the feeling of things going out of control. If you’re flexible and are good at directing your energy, you may feel the ability to manifest extremely high focus, unusual guts and do anything you need to do.<\/p>\n

Be aware of your fear level, and do what you can to summon your courage. This combination of aspects is a rare opportunity to shape your life in a conscious way. The warrior power of Mars, Chiron and Eris, combined with the sense of justice provided by Libra, is a magnificent blend of possibilities. Add one other factor of Juno in Sagittarius — the quest for social justice, and relationships that have this as their goal — and we have a moment when it might seem like anything is possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
