Listen to the doctors and healers, listen to the ‘healer’ within too. God Apollo looked after Chiron when he was abandoned by his father Cronus and mother nymph Phillira. He was the abandoned child. Maybe all the doctors feel like abandoned children now, maybe our capacity to heal and our wounds become more apparent. We need to pay attention to them, express them, become wiser through them, and help others because of them. Apollo taught Chiron art, music, archery, astrology, medicine. So Chiron became a wise healer, teacher, oracle who taught all heroes in ancient times, like Achilles and Hercules. His nobility and self sacrifice is reflected in his encounter with Prometheus, when he exchanged his immortality in order to save him and as a way to heal his wound. The New Moon in Aries tomorrow, is conjunct Chiron! How do we become wiser and learn from our wounds, what do we exchange in order to relieve our pain? How does this aid humanity to achieve progress? The physical wound holds a sacred spiritual message for us now.

In preparation of a plan that is becoming a reality; expectations and dreams reveal their realistic dimension.

Do you trust your heart and how willing are you to do something about it?

How do we begin to lay the groundwork in order to integrate a mission, plan or vision into our reality and clarify its viability. Truth, trust, faith and the risks we are willing to take as we are moving into a new order of things.

The New Moon in Sagittarius invites us to look at the big picture, to think about the future, to clarify the prospect of a new direction in order to finally bring closure to a chapter of experience and enter a new one. The intentions we will set forth this lunar month will lead to the fermentation, completion and closure of longer cycles, and will also lay the foundations for a meaningful shift of priorities, perception of our world and interests that will likely take the whole of 2020 until they shape into form.

In the lunar cycle that begins today, we are called upon to become conscious of the notion of risk, trust, faith, promise and the adjustments we need to make in our lives in order to support conditions that have developed in their practical application in order to give us more freedom of movement in the future and strengthen our supports on the material level of life. This entails new ventures or spiritual and creative pursuits. This process includes clarifications and disengagement from situations and relationships, changes and/or adjustments to new conditions that are either our own creation or have been triggered by external factors and events. Sagittarius is a sign that requires us to conceptualise, philosophise and find meaning, in other words make sense of what we will take with us in the new season ahead (Capricorn). We will be saying farewell to a period of expectation and development of a shift in direction and moving into a period  where things are tested for their viability within more organized frameworks and rules. The ruler of New Moon, Jupiter in the last degree of Sagittarius latest states that intentions are becoming critical and fuelled with urgency for completion or closure. Since November 2018, Jupiter in Sagittarius has enabled opportunities for growth and/or improvement in some area of ​​our lives, and as a significator for knowledge, beliefs legal issues, justice, truth, teaching, hospitality, travel, publishing, spirituality, ethics, philosophy, higher education, religion, church may have brought certain of these aspects to our collective or personal awareness. Jupiter in the last degree of the sign will probably bring closure with a sense of urgency but it also speaks of something that was being prepared and is now going to ‘bloom’, with more visibility or assume a more formal and public presence (29 Sagittarius – 00 Capricorn). The Luminaries are in conjunction with the asteroid Pallas Athena so wisdom, creative intelligence, the need to become strategic, or to recognise concepts and patterns and motifs and integrate them into a larger picture blends with the intentions we are going to set forth. Athena’s wisdom and strategic gifts  -who was born out of Zeus’s head- in her meeting with the Sun and the Moon support decisions, talents, and intuition. It also highlights the wisdom we seek, project or receive in our contacts with the others. The separating waning quincunx aspect of the Luminaries with Uranus in Taurus, indicates that we enter this cycle under the influence of perhaps sudden or unforeseen disruptions, detachment and changes in our lives, habits and daily lives that either have been imposed upon us or put an emphasis on the need to adapt and accept new circumstances. This configuration brought closure aligned for the purpose of awakening and need to make progress. The potential discovery of new talents, as well as the need to get out of our comfort zone, renew an area of life is prominent as new intentions and decisions promote and require a shift in direction. (Check the house that Uranus is transiting in your natal chart to get clues about which area of ​​life these changes have been imposed or triggered and any planets or points at 03-04 degrees Taurus).
