This is a very 'Chiron dealing with Capricorn' flavored week. This is tension/frustration involving competence wounds, authority wounds and the cost of self-reliance with the potential for some REPAIRS to come in around mid-week (as well as breakthroughs and opportunities!) and we finish the week with a late-in-the-game Capricorn New Moon asking for a sober, long-term and innovative reset.
Collectively we are dealing with - what must remain intact, so change doesn’t become chaos? And what must change so structure doesn’t become brittle or cruel?
There could be opportunities this week to wield words/information as a weapon, so let's do better than that.
Let's unpack the week!
MONDAY - Sun squares Chiron
TUESDAY - Mars squares Chiron
WEDNESDAY - Mercury opposes Jupiter
THURSDAY - Venus sextiles Saturn and trines Uranus
FRIDAY - Mercury squares Chiron
SATURDAY - Venus sextiles Neptune and enters Aquarius, Sun sextiles Saturn and trines Uranus
SUNDAY - NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN, Mercury conjuncts Mars, Mercury sextiles Saturn and trines Uranus
MONDAY - the Sun in Cappy squares Chiron. Sun/Chiron in Cappy/Aries brings up identity-level discomfort that is visible, so situations might arise that expose where we still feel like 'not enough'. Leading can feel risky and authority unsafe. We could be defensive/doubt ourselves. We could make an embarrassing public mistake. This aspect can bring out shame around competence or independence.
Remember with Chiron we are dealing with very old wounds - ours, past-life and ancestral, too and they are not so much fixable as they are 'learn to live with them-able", so we are noticing what hurts. Cappy can have an excellent sense of humor and some of that can come in handy now.
TUESDAY - Mars reaches 22 degrees Cappy and squares Chiron, too - and this can be all part of the same thing as the Sun/Chiron yesterday or the Venus/Chiron from last week. Conflicts with authority, with ambition, with limits/rules, within career, with goals or even goal setting (resistance), burnout, anger that masks vulnerability or shame.
You could think of this like - Mars in Cappy says, "PUSH THROUGH" and Chiron in Aries says, "PUSHING IS THE PROBLEM".
Again, Chironic wounds are not so much fixable as they are 'learn to live with them-able". Squares are tension/frustration and require ADJUSTMENT. Note - Mars is very strong in Cappy and at the top of his game at that 22nd-degree and Chiron is answering to him, so some kind of movement here will be helpful.
This is all playing out very openly in the United States - remember we are in the lunar cycle of a Full Moon on the United States Sun - so we can all personally learn from what we are seeing in the U.S.
Chiron in Aries brings up rage born of powerlessness i.e. the fear that individual agency no longer matters. Mars in Capricorn is exalted/strong and is institutional muscle. Authority hurts. Action hurts. Authoritative moves framed as 'necessary' and 'strong' can land differently than intended (as personal wounding) - FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE. This applies to our own lives, too, of course, so keep this in mind.
WEDNESDAY - now we have Mercury opposing Jupiter. This is another repeating aspect all the planets in Cappy are making/going to make and keep in mind Jupiter is retrograde, so there is something about whatever is happening that isn't totally new. Jupiter amplifies/makes things BIGGER.
Cappy/Cancer is kind of reality vs feeling. Dad vs mom (and I am talking archetypal roles here, not usually actual people although sometimes things can play out very literally). Mercury/Jupiter can lead to exaggerated thinking, over-the-top and emotional language, over-promising or over-committing. These are the conversations where people are talking over and past each other.
Keep in mind that Mercury in Capricorn wants REALISM and Jupiter is Cancer wants REASSURANCE.
It's not a coincidence this is happening during all the Chironic squares (the wounds we must learn to live with). Mercury in Cappy is saying, "not everything true is kind and not everything kind is sustainable." We are approaching a Cappy New Moon that will be saying something like this, too.
THE UNITED STATES - the trust gap can widen now or maybe bridges are being quietly built in the background as the Moon in Scorpio sextiles the Sun. Secrets may come out.
THURSDAY - here is where some REPAIR energy starts coming in - YAY! - as Venus in Capricorn sextiles Saturn and trines Uranus.
The week softens - let's use this!
Venus is in good stead with both Saturn and Uranus, the ancient and modern rulers of Aquarius as she moves into Aquarius and all the other planets will be, too! This is good news.
This energy is saying (multiple times this week, so we get multiple chances to GET IT) - we can do it differently and we can keep what IS working.
IN THE UNITED STATES - this isn't about loud reform, but maybe here is where repair could be happening through quiet revisions to policy, changes of heart, etc. Can we build systems that protect dignity and provide safety and also not pretend our resources are infinite? COMMON GROUND. U-N-I-T-E-D States. But then we look at tomorrow ....
FRIDAY - Now Mercury squares Chiron - again, words can hurt. The best way through this energy is not to avoid the words/argument (Mercury is approaching Mars, so some of this can play out as arguments), but to SAY LESS AND SAY IT CLEANLY. Conversations and information can hurt even when they are honest. We might hear some tone-deaf communication, poorly chosen words and clarifications that make things worse/make things hurt more. Health news can come in that might be challenging. Again, keep in mind our words may not hit the way we intended so say less and say it cleanly. Also give other people a break when they say the wrong thing. If you are in the authoritative role, say what you need to say but know the other party can be taking things very personally, so don't be an as*hole. Set and respect boundaries.
SATURDAY - Venus sextiles Neptune and then moves into Aquarius.
Here is some BREATHING ROOM.
Aquarius Suns and Aquarius rising (Aquarius ruler of first house of your natal chart) get more attractive. Both easier on the eye and able to attract what they want (Venus). All of our natal Aquarius houses become more attractive, too. We attract what we want through Aquarius - stepping back a bit, being smart, using tech, through our connections/friendships/groups.
At the same time - the Sun is sextiling Saturn and trining Uranus. THIS IS EXCELLENT ENERGY and is pulled into tomorrow's New Moon. We are stabilizing the future and making sustainable changes. We are balancing realism and innovation. Breakthroughs come through practical innovations. Stability comes through NEW APPROACHES. Authority is strengthened when it avoids rigidity.
And this brings us to SUNDAY and the BIG New Moon in Capricorn. This New Moon pulls us to the flip side of that Cancer Full Moon, and we will see why we need to go there!
The Cappy New Moon will have its own post.
