Astrology for July 26, 2024

The Moon in Aries has a lot of get up and go. Much can be accomplished if we are willing to do what it takes to make it all happen. There is a lovely trine to Venus this afternoon and a feeling of well-being and happiness spreads through those willing to embrace the moment and each other.

Chiron moves backwards today and this correction will last till December 29^th. This gives me hope for all of us as we are asked to seek out ways to express constructive anger over destructive anger. It is a difficult thing to look at the anger that we hold inside. We want to believe we are all good souls. But that does not mean than in the complicated twists and turns of life that things always worked smoothly.

In fact, often things did not go our way, and we ended up getting hurt. Getting hurt causes us to have defensive actions that can show up as anger and displaced rage.
Aries (Chiron is in Aries) loves to play the game, “He who is the most obnoxious wins!”

But is that really true?

Chiron has been in Aries for a long time, and it tries to point out the pain that has been suppressed and denied.
The planets and asteroids do a cosmic dance with each other and take us along for the ride. Chiron’s trajectory moves from rigid, restrictive Saturn to explosively liberating Uranus.

It seems it is time for us to look at what or who we think is restricting us and realize that we might be wrong. It is not others that hold us back from our greatness. It is actually us. This retrograde puts the responsibility right back in our lap.

Chiron’s relationship with Uranus demands us to take responsibility for our destructive and reactive tendencies. We are asked to take a look at where we want to thumb our noses at authority and go against the established norms. If that is the case, then we probably need to ask if that is conducive to the overall picture we want to create?

Saturn wants motion and change. Uranus wants to create sweeping changes to the social justice systems. It wants to right the wrongs that continue to be inflicted on women, sexuality, culture, religion, and race. It wants to stop the polarization that has been happening for too long that is toxic and poisoning our souls.

What is becoming clear is that we need to gain back our confidence in ourselves. Perhaps we gave it all away. Perhaps we made a choice to support someone else and now resent that we did not support ourselves instead.

The Retrograde Chiron brings us face to face with the healing journey that we avoided and now need to claim back. It is a good thing. And it will take time. Embrace who you are and remember that you can reclaim what has been lost.

Just remember that you are different now than you were then. And because of that … the dream will have changed because we have changed.

Learn that the universe does not make mistakes. Nor did you back then. This was the process to get you back to your center. Now is the time. Yes, it is more complicated now but that is only because you are more awake and see more than just our most cherished illusions.

We are moving through a process that can be disorienting and confusing. It is because the shift is going to be that big and you know it deep down inside. Be kind to yourself as you restructure your reality.

Venus and the Sun will be duking it out today with Saturn. Add to that there is a Pluto quincunx to Mercury. It is okay to feel uncertain and agitated. Just because you can now see the problem, does not mean that you can actually see the solution right now. Try to keep a broad perspective. You are going to need it. Constrictive thinking makes things too black and white. When it is much more diverse than you are thinking.

Notice if others respond to you will a “huff” and an eyeroll. Realize that you might be being annoying right now. Realize you are being annoying because you are so desperate for an answer. Problem is that answer is not in the space at the moment. That will come at another time. Keep the faith and know that there is no need to make any final decision right now.
