Chiron expedition

The Moon is in Gemini which encourages communication. It’s a number six day of commitment and responsibility. If you are prepared to put in the labour your hard work will be rewarded and supported with the coupling of Mars and Jupiter. Today could be a great day to do business as the skies are supportive of new business encouraging growth and abundance. It is time to get focused if a contract needs to be signed.

I’m currently reading a book by Barbara Hand Clow entitled: Chiron: Rainbow bridge between inner and outer planets. Chiron is representative of the wounded part of us. He presents as a mythic creature; half man and half beast. With the recent eclipse season I’ve felt the need to explore my inner wound. Chiron identifies our deepest psychological wounds and offers how we may attempt to heal it/them.

Since Chiron’s sighting in 1977 the re-emergence of divination, homeopathic medicine, energy and crystal healing was prominent. This tiny planetoid orbits between Saturn and Uranus and as I mentioned previously is the archetype of healing and transformation. Chiron is an alchemist and healer, initiator, visionary, teacher of integrity and bravery. Behind the myth and legend of this tiny creature we are able to seek and discover our human potential.

We have discussed many planets and their influence upon us. The galaxy is unlimited. During our cosmic conversations over the next few weeks we will look a little closer at Chiron.

My Chiron is in Capricorn. The sea goat pulls himself out of the mire and slowly, diligently and strategically climbs the mountain. Throughout this arduous struggle he searches and learns so much about himself, eventually peeling away the layers that no longer fit. From my experience Capricorn learns his lessons the hard way. There is no tick and flick in his manual. And for many Sun sign Capricorns reading this column you are experiencing Pluto (transformation) on your identity and therefore must endure the public metamorphosis while you grapple with the changes to your world.

The Hierophant is indicative of our discussion. Truth through honest dialogue is the motto delivered by this wise teacher. The wheel of fortune offers a benefice joy and celebration – reward for our efforts. The star shines in all her glory – translucent beauty with a hell of a story. Look deeper into my soul and you will see the realm of integrity. I learn to create spiritual relationships with a glance and an open heart.

Peace and Love,

Today beckons!

Have you ever gazed into a puddle and saw your reflection and wondered who is that rippling back at me? Have you stood naked in front of a mirror and searched discriminately at the vision and thought, "where did I go?" Have you ever had the days, weeks and months to do what ever you wanted and though, what will I do today? As Louis Freund says, "You can finish a painting, but how do you finish a career?"

What happens when your dreams come true and you get to a new phase and contemplate, what next, what is it I truly want to do?

Over my life I've been driven by my internal combustion engine (desire). I've thought about/dreamt about what I wanted to achieve and in most cases sealed the deal on those goals and dreams. Fortunately for me I've been able to motivate others to share in that vision. My power of persuasion has been effective for the big goals/dreams I couldn't consider tackling on my own.

Is it the insatiable desire within me that keeps me racing toward a new vision? Why do so many people get to the summit and take in the view and stay there contented and say, "well this will do!"

I don't understand but respect their point of view. Over the past three months I've ticked off my wish list of goals accomplished. I've reached a place and recognized that this is where I dreamed/planned of being 12 months ago. I planted the seeds in my new moon wishes and watered them daily nurturing them, picked out the weeds and waiting for the tiny green shoots to appear. Now my garden grows abundantly with blooms and aromatic floral garlands.

As I sit here and gaze out across the landscape of my life, I satisfy in the glorious beauty of my realm. I have arrived.

The Hierophant casts a dutiful glance over my world – don't rush child, there is plenty of time for you to conquer the next exciting episode.

The Star offers her glowing presence – inspiring me to bask in the glory of love and beauty. Gaze at the flowers and see their smiling faces – delight in the squawk of the cockatoos and galahs. Don’t' stray too far from your inner truth – or get waylaid at an alternate path.

The Hermit is deliberate in his journey of discernment. Take care with each step and don't loose your balance.

The Empress has labored over my spread night and day – a new phase is born – here is your babe.

The freshness of a new phase envelopes me – I've sat and basked in the glory of self-actualization long enough now it is time to stride a new path toward the mansion of my dreams. What adventures will I encounter? Well I am not sure. I do know however, that I'll share them with you in Julia's Journal. We've shared so much over these past few months. I've been vulnerable and hurting and sometimes lost. Through the writing process I've reclaimed me – capturing my essence and celebrating victory.

When you gaze into the puddle or at your own reflection; realize that the inner you or your soul is definitely you! We can transform our outer layers and geographically move – we always take you – with you!

Peace and Love,

Julia Ashton-Sayers
