Chiron, the mythological character, was a Centaur, which is a being that has the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a human. Most centaurs in the stories were very raucous and vulgar. However Chiron was a unique, thoughtful being, very different from his mates. He was rejected by his human mother,Continue reading “Chiron: Bridging Mind and Body”

In November ’24, just a year ago, Pluto arrived in Aquarius to stay. Only then could we say goodbye to the sign of established control that is Capricorn. Since 2008, Pluto hadContinue reading “Deep Change”

The news and events on the world stage are indicative of, and in concert with the movements and relationships of the planets in our solar system. The “outers” – Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn – are all on the move. All are very slow-moving and regularly spend time in retrograde motion, so changing signs isContinue reading “Uncharted Territory”
