Jupiter-Chiron Trine

Jupiter-Chiron Trine - Wisdom

"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time."

— Leo Tolstoy

We continue to unwind the implications of last Wednesday's Full Moon (9:45 PM PDT 1° Taurus/Scorpio) this week with helpful assistance from the culmination of the Jupiter-Chiron trine. Jupiter and Chiron work together to help us find wisdom and build trust in the midst of continuing unpredictability and skepticism. There is an extraordinary emphasis on the Fixed/Cardinal cusps — Uranus has retrograded back to the cusp of Taurus/Aries and Venus opposes at the retrograde crossing of the Scorpio/Libra cusp. These planets both aspect the lunar nodes on the Leo/Cancer and Aquarius/Capricorn cusps. Essentially, these activated cusps all point to seeing tangible results from patient determination. Coupled with the wisdom of the Jupiter-Chiron trine, we can expect an extraordinarily active, productive atmosphere, guided by extraordinary wisdom and insight. Mercury also crosses the Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp this week, after entering the shadow of the next retrograde period (Nov. 17 - Dec. 6). Cusp influences can seem incredibly challenging as we deal with influences that seem to be at cross-purposes. However, cusp offer extra resources when we are willing to draw from both sides. "Take the best and leave the rest". Once Mercury moves into Sagittarius, our focus shifts from research and investigation towards looking for ways to put our gathered information into tangible action. Relationships may be challenged by this week's Venus-Uranus opposition. The flow of wisdom and insights is also showing in overall changes to our values. By the end of the week, as Venus moves back into Libra, our skepticism and uncertainty begins to withdraw and trust is slowly restored.

The Cancer Moon on Sunday afternoon and evening keep emotions a bit unsteady, possibly leading to some defensive deception. We'll do better to stay honest and direct. Relationships are the focal point on Monday. Values are shifting noticeably and we need to stay open to the vast expanse of differing perspectives. Mercury moves into Sagittarius on Tuesday, shifting our focus from research towards action. Patient, determined efforts begin to show results. Venus moves back into Libra on Wednesday, easing skepticism and beginning to allow us to trust more. Independent, determined effort merges with wisdom and clear-eyed vision on Thursday. Relationships are challenged by changing values. Nevertheless, protections seem to be in place to help us stay on track. Friday's atmosphere is a bit murky and uncertain. We have a strong desire to nail down the details and maintain control — not likely! By Saturday, the mood has shifted dramatically and trust begins to build. There is a generally generous atmosphere, willing to forgive mistakes as long as there is a promise to do better in the future.
