This is a good point in this calendar to remind you that celestial alignments and events on one day don’t necessarily disappear the day after. Therefore, yesterday’s Neptune station is very much a reality today as well. It is just that a powerful Full Moon (activating 19 degrees of Scorpio and Taurus at 12:17PM PST) and the direct station of Chiron at 1 degree of Pisces (3:15PM PST) are now the main astrological happenings spreading their influences throughout humanity. Individual and group meditations are advised in and around the time-period of the Full Moon. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to dear ones, friends, associates, and the kingdoms of nature. Since the Sun parallels Ceres (12:59PM PST) an extra note of nurturance and maternal care is being expressed throughout our social interactions. Meanwhile, the comet-like celestial body Chiron – that has been in retrograde motion since June 8 – stops from our vantage point and begins forward motion at 1 degree of Pisces (3:15PM PST). [Chiron stays forward until June 11, 2012 when it will shift into retrograde motion again at 10 degrees of Pisces.] All Chiron themes – the maverick, the wounded healer, the shaman, keys that open doors to higher consciousness, bridge-building between the spiritual and material planes, twilight zones of strange awareness, holistic healing and alternative medicine, herbalism and folk medicine, catalysts, shape-shifting and oracles – are reinforced throughout the day. Another major cosmic shift concerns Mars entering Virgo (8:16PM PST) for an extended stay until July 3, 2012 due to the red planet’s eventual retrograde cycle from January 23, 2012 to April 13, 2012. Mars in the sixth sign of the zodiac places an emphasis on being more organized, orderly in your approach to work and business, and striving to be an efficiency master at your residence or on the job.
