    Chiron and its Meaning by Sign and House

    THE MEANING OF CHIRON

    “I am Chiron, the wounded healer. I bear the wound that all share, the wound of humanity. But within this wound resides the power of healing and wisdom. Through pain, there is understanding. Through vulnerability, there is strength. Embracing your wounds is the first step towards transformation. Learn from your scars, grow through your suffering, and become a healer, not only of yourself but of those around you. In every wound, there is a lesson and the potential for healing. I am the embodiment of that truth.”

    In astrology, Chiron shows us a fortuitous wound that marks us deeply and conditions our behavior throughout life. What do we mean by fortuitous? Chiron’s wound is characterized by not being related to a consequence of our behavior per se, but coming from circumstances unrelated to our actions.

    In astronomy, Chiron is called both a minor planet and a comet. It is a Saturn-Uranus object because its perihelion (when it is closest to the sun) is in the control zone of Saturn and its aphelion (when it is farthest from the sun) is in that of Uranus. In astrological terms, Chiron’s relationship with Saturn (perihelion), can be translated as the manifestation (Saturn) of the wound (Chiron) in our Being (Sun). We see the consequence of this wound in its aphelion, which can be translated as a shock (Uranus) that produces some kind of innovation, or change of consciousness.

    “Fun” fact: This planet/comet was discovered on November 1, 1977 – the day of the dead, by the American astronomer Charles Kowal.

    And so we see Chiron, the planet also a comet, describing an event beyond our control that reveals a wound already within ourselves.

    THE STORY OF CHIRON

    Mythology tells us that Chiron was fathered by the Titan Cronus when he took the form of a horse and impregnated the nymph Philyra. Shortly after giving birth, Philyra abandoned Chiron out of shame and disgust. Chiron was later found by the god Apollo, who adopted him. Apollo taught him the art of music, the lyre, archery, medicine, and prophecy. Apollo’s twin sister, Artemis, trained him in archery and hunting. In time, Chiron became a highly respected healer, astrologer, and oracle, first among the centaurs and highly revered as a teacher and tutor. The story is longer and richer but, briefly, one day Heracles (Hercules) accidentally shot Chiron with a poisoned arrow. Ironically, Chiron, the master of the healing arts, was unable to heal himself and willingly gave up his immortality. For this reason, his half-brother Zeus took pity on him and thus placed him among the stars of heaven to be honored.

    Chiron reminds us that in life “sh * t happens”. However, this wound also has the potential to help us transcend our reality. Chiron’s wound reveals the unexpected pain that cannot be remedied with anything, despite having the capacities required for it. Although this wound hurts and there is no way to heal it, the pain forces us to find ways to mitigate it. At first, we may ignore it, or anesthetize it, and many times we do so by overcompensating through the opposite astrological sign and house qualities of Chiron’s natal position. When we finally accept our limitations and see that there is nothing we can do to heal the wound, the blessing of Zeus may befall us.

    In other words, Chiron helps us realize that we don’t need to be perfect to be worthy of existing. Where Chiron is in the natal chart, we will feel abandoned, and even despised. There may be a feeling that Life is against us. The only thing left for us is to know that “sh*t happens”, not only for us but for everyone.

    Chiron says: “Don’t take anything personally.”

    CHIRON AS A GENERATIONAL PLANET

    Chiron may show us an aspect of the Being that has evolved but that does not find space in the Reality in which we were born. Chiron is a generational planet, staying approximately eight years in each sign. Entire generations share the same pain. When talking about Chiron’s relationship with Saturn and Uranus, we cannot help but see that Chiron points out to us the impact that the old has on the new. It is the wound that we all carry by being born into a system that evolves through time and space.

    CHIRON IN THE NATAL CHART

    The birth chart is a set of interdependent energies. The position of a planet and its aspects act in perfect coherence with the rest. To analyze a planet and its meaning in our lives, it is important to take into account the others. Each position is a necessary part that harmonizes the whole. Although the position of Chiron shows us the wound that hurts, this wound fulfills a fundamental function within the context of the birth chart. And this is how we can discover that there is a bright perspective on something that can feel so painful.

    CHIRON IN THE SIGNS

    The sign where Chiron is found shows us what is causing us pain. In future articles, I will go through each sign and house in more detail. This is a short review. Subscribe to my website at the bottom of this page and stay up to date with my new releases.

    • In Aries, it hurts to take action.
    • In Taurus, it hurts to enjoy life.
    • In Gemini, it hurts to communicate our ideas.
    • In Cancer, it hurts to express our emotions.
    • In Leo, what hurts is receiving attention.
    • In Virgo, it hurts to be useful.
    • In Libra, it hurts to relate.
    • In Scorpio, it hurts to be transformed.
    • In Sagittarius, it hurts to expand our views
    • In Capricorn, it hurts to be responsible.
    • In Aquarius, it hurts to be different.
    • In Pisces, it hurts to be compassionate.

    The reasons why these wounds originate are diverse and, at the same time, fortuitous. In general, the energy of the sign where Chiron is located cannot be expressed naturally since it is synonymous with hurt. Aspects from other planets to Chiron can give more details.

    Chiron in the Houses

    The astrological house where Chiron is located shows us where that pain occurs.

    • In the 1st House, the wound is felt in our appearance.
    • In the 2nd House, the wound is felt in our self-esteem.
    • In the 3rd House, the wound is felt in the intellect.
    • In the 4th House, the wound is felt in our sense of belonging.
    • In the 5th House, the wound is felt in our creative expression.
    • In the 6th House, the wound is felt in our skills and daily tasks.
    • In the 7th House, the wound is felt in our relationships.
    • In the 8th House, the wound is felt in our instinctive behavior.
    • In the 9th House, the wound is felt in our belief system.
    • In the 10th House, the wound is felt in our social career and reputation.
    • In the 11th House, the wound is felt in our goals and the groups we join.
    • In the 12th House, the wound is not felt consciously but shows up in our unconscious attitudes.

    As I have mentioned before, this is a topic that needs elaboration as Chiron provides us with endless guidance on our healing journey. Chiron is the healer, who knows the pain due to his injury. Don’t miss the next articles to delve into his wonderful healing power.

  • Mercury in Sagittarius

    Mercury in Sagittarius

    The Meaning of Mercury

    Mercury in the birth chart represents the way we perceive reality, our writing, exchanges with the environment, our adaptability, movements, thoughts processes, and our cognitive ability. The sign where it is located describes our capacity for observation, how we understand what we see, how ideas arise, how we communicate with others, and our learning style.

    The position of Mercury in the signs shows that there are twelve ways of perceiving reality. There are twelve ways of understanding and communicating. That is why it is so essential to study Mercury … especially within our closest relationships because being able to realize the way another person understands reality, and even recognizing why they communicate as they do, helps to make our relationships richer.

    It is not about adapting to the other person’s Mercury style, but simply about understanding how the other person communicates and thus avoiding misunderstandings.

    When Mercury is in Sagittarius

    When Mercury is in Sagittarius, the mind is naturally exploratory. The ideas are stringing together as we venture out of the familiar. The typical enthusiasm of the Fire signs lights up when we understand the idea in a global way. We go through the different possibilities with our mind, as if it were a map through which we advance until we go back when the road closes. We return to the beginning and look for another path… until the idea is complete. And all this, in a few seconds!

    Their way of expressing themselves is usually lively, perhaps a little abrupt, and above all, frank and spontaneous. With Mercury in Sagittarius, we find ourselves with the mind of the philosopher who sees patterns rather than details. Therefore, when Mercury is in the sign of the archer, the perception is broad, and it is focused on concepts that include facts, beliefs, and, above all, experiences.

    Mercury in Sagittarius is not interested in everyday matters. They prefer to talk about adventures, explorations, other cultures, and other lands. When they are interested in a subject, they run their mind over it to understand the whys. If they remain silent and are not explaining a Great Truth, it is because they are searching for it mentally.

    This is an active mind, which goes looking for information far away… far away. Big readers of encyclopedias, also enjoy documentaries.

    Perhaps the most characteristic of these minds is the desire to find the meaning of Life. That is why it is important that they have enough space to develop their ideas freely, without restrictions. While they think, they “see” ideas as situations, live them and draw conclusions according to the results they visualize. And please… don’t waste their time on the details! That is neither their forte nor their interest! They can intuit what makes up an idea, but what matters most to them is understanding the concept.

  • Saturn in Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius

    Saturn in Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius

    Saturn in the Air Signs

    When Saturn is in the Air signs, our inner teacher teaches us to give form to ideas. The Air element assimilates reality through observation. In this way, ideas, and concepts are born. Saturn in the birth chart indicates a learning experience that we must go through to start the path towards self-realization. Saturn is an empirical teacher. He teaches us to develop the characteristics of the astrological sign where it is, responsibly and constructively. In the Air signs, his guidance focuses on differentiating our mental processes… we become architects of ideas.

    Before going further into the meaning of Saturn in Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, it is essential to understand the importance of Saturn. And this is precisely the way Saturn would start… so don’t skip it.

    The meaning of Saturn in Astrology

    Saturn’s position in the birth chart shows us specific characteristics of which we have no personal experience. For some reason, the qualities of the sign are blocked. The required efforts to “untangle the block” are real! And they require discipline, perseverance, and multiple trials and errors.

    Saturn, as a teacher, confronts us with the empirical world. He makes us experience real situations. He makes us see our fears and asks us to go through them with self-discipline, responsibility, and a sense of duty. As a species, we tend to go for pleasure. If it were not for that mysterious part within ourselves that invites us to do something transcendental, we would still only dedicate ourselves to eating, reproducing, and sleeping. That mysterious part is Saturn, the one that encourages us to keep trying, despite everything. Saturn is our teacher and it is happy to show us the way.

    In the birth chart, Saturn points out:

    • where Reality subjects us (blockages, fears, etc.)
    • the latent capacities that seek to manifest within the material density
    • the lessons we will go through to develop them
    • where we achieve our mastery, maturity, self-discipline

    It is normal to feel that the energy of Saturn crushes us… In a way, it is Saturn that makes us aware of the “force of gravity”. We come to bring something to the manifestation and that requires effort. Therefore, the dark side of our relationship with Saturn is never trying what Saturn proposes, avoiding situations that seem difficult to us. Saturn is the Master of Masters. He does not allow us to ignore what we have come to learn. But as creative beings, we can create a halo of darkness that keeps us within an apparent “safety”. At the end of life, we will feel that something is missing. Therefore, despite the difficulties, if we go ahead and listen to the call from within, Saturn promises us personal self-realization.

    Saturn is the planet of empiricism. Its tests and challenges serve to accumulate the necessary experience that makes us, sooner or later, experts.

    Many times, Saturn brings us limiting experiences that make us focus on the “subject” that we have come to study and pursue a master’s degree. It’s like putting a stone in our shoes. In this way, he makes us focus on what we need to learn. If we decide to ignore what is happening and get used to walking with that stone in our shoes, then he will put an even bigger one.

    Saturn in everyday life

    Like each planet, Saturn can represent different characters in our reality. Saturn represents authority figures, such as:

    • Teachers, mentors, guides
    • The father – or the person charged with discipline in the individual’s life.
    • The institutional leader (individuals with responsibilities and social influence)

    These are all archetypes that put our feet on the ground, at the same time that they show us the path that leads us to what we want, although this path seems winding and, sometimes, even obsolete.

    Saturn may seem harsh, stern, and unfriendly to pleasure, but in reality, he knows what he’s doing. Saturn tells us: “You are not here to take exams, but to learn and manifest your dreams.” It’s like in Katare Kid… Watch this video to see an example of what I mean. Saturn is the Master.

    Saturn in the Elements

    According to the element where Saturn is, we see the kind of elemental energy that we have come to learn to use to achieve our goals:

    • In Fire signs, we are becoming experts in dynamism, in action.
    • In Earth signs, it is in materializing.
    • In Air signs, our specialization is in defining our thought processes.
    • At Water signs, we specialize in connection, in emotional fluidity.
    Saturn, along with Jupiter, is described as a social planet. This means that its passage through a sign encompasses a large group of individuals. Saturn takes about two and a half years to traverse a sign. Consequently, millions of people are simultaneously developing the qualities represented by the sign where they are.

    It is important to keep in mind that any planet and its position in the natal chart is part of a whole that creates a perfect balance within the context. Saturn’s position by sign and by house supports the rest of the natal chart, just as the other positions support Saturn.

    Saturn in Gemini

    One bit of advice: it is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree — make sure you understand the fundamental principles, ie the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang on to.

    Elon Musk – Saturn in Gemini

    LESSON: STRUCTURE THOUGHT

    What does it take to be versatile? Study. Study. Study. The more we study a wide variety of subjects, the more versatile we become. The typical adaptability of Gemini is put to the test when we have Saturn in this sign.

    In the birth chart, Saturn indicates the qualities that we are going to develop through experience. When Saturn is in GEMINI, we have come to COMMUNICATE OUR IDEAS. With this position, we learn when we ask ourselves: what am I curious about? What do I want to say?

    Saturn teaches us through experience and in Gemini experiences occur in the realm of socialization with the environment. We may have trouble expressing ourselves fluently and/or socializing easily. Wherever Saturn is, we find ourselves with a pre-established reality. In Gemini, this reality is made up of “information” that we find difficult to adapt to. Either because we don’t understand it or because we understand it too much. The challenge is to make our perception more flexible. So… we have to learn to ask questions. As Elon Musk would say: “One of the really hard things is figuring out what questions to ask. Once you figure out the question, then the answer is relatively easy.”

    Although mental flexibility seems difficult for Saturn in Gemini, life will bring countless experiences where they will develop these qualities even without intending it. But of course… here we are not talking about adapting according to the circumstances – as the Sun in Gemini would. Here we talk about understanding mind maps, how they work, and when to use humor, seriousness, and all communication cadences to pass information in the most “educational” way. This requires concentration. Dealing with what really interests us without falling into distractions is essential in this position.

    Although in the first years of life they may feel limited in their ability to adapt to their environment, over time, Saturn in Gemini become masters of the dialectic. They get the importance of words and take very seriously the way they convey information.

    GREATEST FEAR: Speaking and saying what you think.

    EXAMPLES TO FOLLOW: Journalists, writers, actors, merchants.

    THE IMPORTANT THING: If something makes you curious, ask questions, and don’t let others shut you off.

    ADVICE: Study with dedication everything that interests you.

    Saturn in Libra

    Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

    Leonardo Da Vinci – Saturn in Libra

    LESSON: THE STRUCTURE OF HARMONY

    The austerity of Saturn is well known. It is generally correlated with limitations…since Saturn contracts. But perhaps the clearest way to understand this quality of Saturn is through Libra, the sign of his exaltation. Libra symbolizes balance, you and me, elegance, and the ability to listen to the other. For this reason, Leonardo Da Vinci’s phrase is perhaps the most beautiful example of this position.

    In the birth chart, Saturn indicates the qualities that we are going to develop through experience. When Saturn is in LIBRA, it is about BEING FAIR and BALANCED. With this position of Saturn, we learn when we ask ourselves: what do I find beautiful? how is equanimity achieved?

    Saturn in Libra comes to teach us what balance is in the right measure. Those who were born with this position have come to a reality where commitment is important and agreements require work and effort. Of course, achieving mutual cooperation is not easy. And those with Saturn in Libra have come to learn that diplomacy and cooperation can only exist when grounded in something real. Saturn will make them go through experiences where they will be forced to collaborate with others without losing themselves. The motto here is balance, where both parties are dignified, as seen in the harmony of a waltz.

    With this position, we feel extremely comfortable with formalities in relationships, since these represent beauty in social behavior. However, Saturn teaches us that appearances are not enough for lasting and reciprocal agreements. With Saturn in Libra, we will learn to resolve the conflicts that arise in a pragmatic way. Over time we will see that disagreements do not necessarily make us lose our elegance. Actually, the discords we go through help us polish our capacity for cooperation and lead us to materialize the harmonious reality that we so much desire.

    GREATEST FEAR: Arguments and conflicts.

    EXAMPLES TO FOLLOW: Lawyers, mediators, artists in visual arts, architects, stylists.

    THE IMPORTANT THING: Weigh things up before making decisions. Take all the time you need.

    TIP: The Blue Danube. This waltz will help you understand the basis of harmony.

    Saturn in Aquarius

    You change the world by being yourself.

    Yoko Ono – Saturn in Aquarius

    LESSON: THE STRUCTURE OF IDEAS

    The learning of Saturn in Aquarius is simple: create a different, unique reality, where we can somehow shape our own genius. Looking for a quote from a Saturn in Aquarius that represents it, I have come across Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Carl Jung, Friedrich Nietzsche, Salvador Dalí, Lord Byron, Quentin Tarantino, Yoko Ono, Greta Garbo, Howard Hughes, James Brown, George Orwell, Gertrude Stein… And the list goes on! What do we see in common? Indomitable individuals with very clear ideas and a very particular way of seeing reality.

    Saturn in Aquarius speaks to us of the visionary, unconventional teacher who sees reality in a scientific, detached, and objective way. Yoko Ono’s sentence has little to do with romance… Rather, it’s an obvious conclusion. Individuals with Saturn in Aquarius seek to realize their own uniqueness, regardless of dissonances with the status quo.

    In the birth chart, Saturn indicates the qualities that we are going to develop through experience. When Saturn is in AQUARIUS, it is about INNOVATING and PROGRESSING. With this position of Saturn, we learn when we ask ourselves: how am I different from others? what do I want for the future of society?

    We can see Saturn in Aquarius as transparent quartz. These individuals come to exemplify an idea, in a concrete and defined way. They come to shape the collective trend that will manifest later. Somehow, they allow us to glimpse the future through them. Of course, they run the risk of transforming their ideas into dogmas. And when this occurs, Saturn manifests as the status quo authority that resists those ideas. Although it sounds difficult, the Aquarius challenge is to develop the ability to include everyone in an equal way, without condemning anyone to ostracism. After all, Aquarius represents the social rights of everyone, not just a few.

    Saturn is the planet that represents authority figures, and when it is in Aquarius, the authority belongs to the individual. Therefore, those in this position will not allow themselves to be told what to do. The search for freedom, to “be oneself”, will make them go through experiences that make them feel isolated and misunderstood…. In this way, Saturn helps us connect with the internal desire for social connection with our peers.

    With Saturn in Aquarius, mental isolation is possible, but at the same time, it is counterproductive, since Aquarius invites us to unite with those with similar ideas to ours, to group together. And this is what Saturn in Aquarius will learn over time… that although they are different from the rest, those differences are implicit in everyone, each in their own way. It is the ability to identify what is unique in each other that makes Saturn in Aquarius a teacher.

    GREATEST FEAR: Living under social conventions.

    ROLE EXAMPLES: Astrologers, scientists, social workers, activists, inventors.

    THE IMPORTANT THING: Realize your own genius with dedication and responsibility.

    TIP: Paradoxically, look to other Saturn in Aquarius to break mental rules that still limit your originality.

    Saturn in the Earth Signs

    When Saturn is in the Earth signs, our inner teacher teaches us to make our goals real. Saturn in the birth chart indicates a learning experience that we must go through to start the path towards self-realization. Saturn is an empirical teacher. He teaches us to develop the characteristics of the astrological sign where it is, responsibly and constructively. In the Earth signs, your orientation focuses on MATERIALIZING, using the resources at our disposal in the most efficient way possible. That is our responsibility… bringing things to matter.

    Before going further into the meaning of Saturn in Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, it is essential to understand the meaning of Saturn. And this is precisely the way Saturn would start… so don’t skip it, eh?

    Saturn in Taurus

    LESSON: MANIFEST MATERIAL SECURITY THROUGH TALENTS

    If you do something just for the money, the love of it will soon die. If you do something you love, then the money is secondary but it will come a lot easier and it will last longer. This is something I have learned in business: when I chase the money it runs faster than me, when I let the money chase me by doing something I love, like writing, the race is a foregone conclusion.

    Bruce Lee – Saturn in Taurus

    As I have said before, in the birth chart, Saturn indicates the qualities that we are going to develop through experience. When Saturn is in TAURUS, we have come to REALIZE OUR VALUES. What gives us peace of mind? What do we like? In Taurus, as the Grand Master of Empiricism, Saturn teaches us through experience.

    So how do we learn with Saturn in Taurus? Saturn comes to teach us about material security through experiences where our personal values are challenged. With this position, we seek to live according to our personal values and create a secure base that can give us a smooth life and, especially, materialize from what satisfies us personally. Using our talents to provide us with what we need is a great challenge. Individuals will come across our lives who, for one reason or another, live from their art. It will make us earn our bread with things that bore us so that we can identify the conditioning that controls our decisions. And what do we do? Do we avoid the challenge? Are we content to earn the money we need without trying to produce it with what we really like to do?

    Individuals with Saturn in Taurus may not have much interest in money or in dedicating themselves to the “material” aspects of life. Actually, they are here to do what gives them pleasure! When they succeed, they begin to attract to themselves what they need, but first, they have to go through all the reasons that inhibit the ability to live on what they like. Many times this inhibition is produced by the conditioning of the traditions in which you were born or ancestral inheritances. It is necessary to stop making an effort in what is tedious to us. With Saturn in Taurus, we have come to learn to procure for ourselves what is necessary for subsistence through our talents. This position confers great common sense, a very valuable “asset”. Use it to relax, cause you can trust your judgment.

    MAJOR FEAR: Material insecurity.

    ROLE MODELS: Chefs, golfers, singers, gardeners…

    IMPORTANT: Do what you love.

    TIP: Take your “hobbies” seriously so that they can become a source of livelihood.

    Saturn in Virgo

    LESSON: MANIFEST A SERVICE THROUGH OUR SKILLS

    It’s good to push yourself and do what you don’t necessarily want to do, that if you’re not automatically good at it, you should keep at it.

    Meryl Streep – Saturn in Virgo

    Saturn, the Great Teacher, shows us the experiences that will teach us to use the qualities of the sign wherever it is. When Saturn is in VIRGO, we have come to materialize the ability to provide SERVICE TO OTHERS through something we know how to do very well. As I said before, we are learning this through empirical experiences.

    So how do we learn with Saturn in Virgo? Saturn will bring us experiences where he asks us to trust our own abilities and constantly develop them to become masters of self-development. He will cross us with highly trained and very efficient individuals. He will confront us with situations where we will find ourselves constantly helping others for their development and not necessarily our own. It will make us feel a lack of confidence in our own abilities and thus dedicate ourselves to overcoming the insecurities that do not allow us to offer what we really know how to do. And what do we do? Do we put ourselves in second place assisting those who “really know”? Do we get lost in a loop of self-criticism and worry that paralyzes us? Do we continue to hone and refine what we know without ever believing that we are ready to bring it to others?

    Individuals with Saturn in Virgo have little desire to offer their services to the community. They may have problems with confidence in their own abilities and fear that they are not capable enough to provide a service. However, they possess a great capacity for self-improvement and great potential to become masters of their craft. Being apprentices of great masters can be very useful for the development of these individuals. Over time they become efficient and very capable individuals, they learn to take care of what is really important and leave aside what does not need attention.

    FEAR: Not being good enough at something.

    ROLE MODELS: nutritionists, accountants, therapists, veterinarians…

    IMPORTANT: Keep practicing and you will be great at it, even better than “naturals”.

    TIP: Mentors can be of great benefit in guiding you in your craft.

    Saturn in Capricorn

    LESSON: THE MANIFESTATION OF AMBITIONS

    Success is behind work and sacrifice, and then there is talent.

    Antonio Banderas – Saturn in Capricorn

    Saturn, as I have said in Taurus and Virgo, is the Grand Master of empiricism. His position in the natal chart indicates which are the experiences that teach us to use the qualities of the astrological sign in which he is found. When Saturn is in Capricorn, we have come to manifest our ambitions, through effort and dedication against all odds.

    So how do we learn with Saturn in Capricorn? Saturn will bring us experiences where it asks us for resilience and a lot of work to achieve our goals. Successful individuals will come across, those who have achieved what they have set out to do. It will put us in situations where we will feel tired, exhausted, and even very alone, only for us to reconsider if what we do is really what we want or if we simply follow continue a path created by others that does not necessarily reflect our own dreams. And what do we do? Do we put our interests aside and work on those of others? Do we seek success in something that does not matter to us? Do we want to see ourselves in a prestigious position considering what society considers reputable instead of following our own dreams?

    Individuals with Saturn in Capricorn may have little desire to go their own way. They may be tempted to seek social respect and thus go the way of those who they admire. In addition, they can be very hard and severe with themselves, removing valid and necessary needs for their well-being in pursuit of success. It also confers great ambition, along with a fierce determination and an excellent ability to keep moving forward despite obstacles that come your way. The important thing is that the path we choose is our own and corresponds to the call of our Soul.

    MAJOR FEAR: Not achieving our goals.

    ROLE MODELS: Businessmen, academics, managers, organizers…

    IMPORTANT: Follow our own path and not that of others, no matter how impressive they may seem.

    TIP: With effort and dedication you will see the materialization of your ambitions.

    Saturn in the Fire Signs

    Saturn in the birth chart indicates a learning experience that we must go through to start the path to self-realization. Saturn is an empirical teacher. He teaches us to develop the characteristics of the astrological sign where it is found, responsibly and constructively. In Fire signs, its guidance focuses on ACTING from the vital impulses, following the inspiration from the Soul.

    Before going further, it is essential to understand the meaning of Saturn. And this is precisely the way Saturn would start… so don’t skip it, eh?

    The meaning of Saturn in Astrology

    Saturn’s position in the birth chart shows us certain characteristics of which we have no personal experience. For some reason, the qualities of the sign are blocked. The required efforts to “untangle the block” are real! And they require discipline, perseverance, and multiple trials and errors.

    Saturn, as a teacher, confronts us with the empirical world. He makes us experience real situations. He makes us see our fears and asks us to go through them with self-discipline, responsibility, and a sense of duty. As a species, we tend to go for pleasure. If it were not for that mysterious part within ourselves that invites us to do something transcendental, we would still only dedicate ourselves to eating, reproducing, and sleeping. That mysterious part is Saturn, the one that encourages us to keep trying, despite everything. Saturn is our teacher and it is happy to show us the way.

    In the natal chart, Saturn points out:

    • where Reality subjects us (blockages, fears, etc.)
    • the latent capacities that seek to manifest within the material density
    • the lessons we will go through to develop them
    • where we achieve our mastery, maturity, self-discipline

    It is normal to feel that the energy of Saturn crushes us… In a way, it is Saturn that makes us aware of the “force of gravity”. We come to bring something to the manifestation and that requires effort. Therefore, the dark side of our relationship with Saturn is never trying what Saturn proposes, avoiding situations that seem difficult to us. Saturn is the Master of Masters. He does not allow us to ignore what we have come to learn. But as creative beings, we can create a halo of darkness that keeps us within an apparent “safety”. At the end of life, we will feel that something is missing. Therefore, despite the difficulties, if we go ahead and listen to the call from within, Saturn promises us personal self-realization.

    Saturn is the planet of empiricism. Its tests and challenges serve to accumulate the necessary experience that makes us, sooner or later, experts.

    Many times, Saturn brings us limiting experiences that make us focus on the “subject” that we have come to study and pursue a master’s degree. It’s like putting a stone in our shoes. In this way, he makes us focus on what we need to learn. If we decide to ignore what is happening and get used to walking with that stone in our shoes, then he will put an even bigger one.

    Saturn in everyday life

    Like each planet, Saturn can represent different characters in our reality. Saturn represents authority figures, such as:

    • Teachers, mentors, guides
    • The father – or the person charged with discipline in the individual’s life.
    • The institutional leader (individuals with responsibilities and social influence)

    These are all archetypes that put our feet on the ground, at the same time that they show us the path that leads us to what we want, although this path seems winding and, sometimes, even obsolete.

    Saturn may seem harsh, stern, and unfriendly to pleasure, but in reality, he knows what he’s doing. Saturn tells us: “You are not here to take exams, but to learn and manifest your dreams.” It’s like in Katare Kid… Watch this video to see an example of what I mean. Saturn is the Master.

    Saturn in the Elements

    According to the element where Saturn is, we see the kind of elemental energy that we have come to learn to use to achieve our goals:

    • In Fire signs, we are becoming experts in dynamism, in action.
    • In Earth signs, it is making things real.
    • In Air signs, our specialization is in socialization, in exchange.
    • At Water signs, we specialize in connection, in emotional fluidity.
    Saturn, along with Jupiter, is described as a social planet. This means that its passage through a sign encompasses a large group of individuals. Saturn takes about two and a half years to traverse a sign. Consequently, millions of people are simultaneously developing the qualities represented by the sign where they are.

    It is important to keep in mind that any planet and its position in the natal chart is part of a whole that creates a perfect balance within the context. Saturn’s position by sign and by house supports the rest of the natal chart, just as the other positions support Saturn.

    Saturn in Aries

    Failure is success in progress.

    Albert Einstein – Saturn in Aries

    LESSON: THE MANIFESTATION OF COURAGE

    As we have said before, in the birth chart Saturn indicates the qualities that we are going to develop through experience. In Aries, we have come to learn to ACT, to go for what we want, to conquer what matters most to us. Saturn is the Grand Master of empiricism. The lessons occur in life itself.

    So how do we learn with Saturn in Aries? Saturn manifests competitive situations. It forces us to take risks. It makes us angry. It awakens our desire to win and often makes us lose. And what do we do? Do we hold back? Do we avoid competition? Are we looking to play it safe?

    Individuals with Saturn in Aries may not have any desire to become pioneers. And they can have huge inhibitions about competing and winning. Or the other way around… They get carried away by sudden desires and wham! Something stops them. Saturn is showing us all the faces of Aries energy. We have come to become experts in the conquest of Life. Know when to act and when not. Over time, we learn to react wisely.

    FEAR: Losing.

    ROLE MODELS: Generals, Teachers of Martial Arts, Businessmen, Firefighters

    IMPORTANT: Never give up.

    TIP: Martial arts like judo can teach you how to defend your territory.

    Saturn in Leo

    Life is a game that admits no tests. So sing, cry, dance, laugh and live intensely, before the curtain closes and the piece ends without applause.

    Charles Chaplin – Saturn in Leo

    LESSON: THE MANIFESTATION OF CREATIVITY

    Saturn, the Grand Master of empiricism, shows us the experiences that will teach us to use the qualities of the sign wherever it is. When Saturn is in Leo, we have come to learn to express our AUTHENTICITY, to show ourselves as we are, especially from our creations.

    So how do we learn with Saturn in Leo? Saturn will manifest situations where we must creatively express our inner truth. It will put us on a stage so that we learn to feel comfortable in the eyes of others. And what do we do? Do we hide? Do we do what we think others want to see? Do we expect the approval of others? Do we fall apart when we don’t make it?

    Individuals with Saturn in Leo may not feel like being in the limelight. And they can feel inhibited when it comes to expressing themselves genuinely. Saturn sends us tests and challenges where it helps us see the fear we have of exposing ourselves to the world. The worst thing that can happen to us is never daring to show our true talents and wanting to do so. However, our creative flow is enormous. You just have to dare!

    MAJOR FEAR: Showing yourself to the world.

    ROLE MODELS: Actors, Event Managers, Politicians, Motivational Speakers.

    IMPORTANT: Be genuine.

    TIP: Practice artistic activities that promote self-expression.

    Saturn in Sagittarius

    It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable.

    Maya Angelou – Saturn in Sagittarius

    LESSON: THE MANIFESTATION OF FAITH

    Saturn, as I have said in Aries and Leo, is the Great Teacher. His position in the birth chart indicates which are the experiences that teach us to use the qualities of the astrological sign in which Saturn is found. When Saturn is in Sagittarius, we have come to learn to take life as an adventure and to explore new possibilities.

    So how do we learn with Saturn in Sagittarius? Saturn will manifest situations where we must review our internal morals, follow our spiritual principles, and broaden our horizons. We will be exposed to express our opinions. We will experience situations where it will be necessary to see things more broadly.

    Individuals with Saturn in Sagittarius may have reservations about going out on the adventure of Life. Even if their hearts tell them that it would be wonderful to get lost in the jungle, they may stay at home believing that they don’t dare to explore. Saturn shows us the energy that we have inhibited within our being and sends us experiences so that we learn to develop those qualities with awareness and in a constructive way. Sagittarius comes to Life looking for the deep meaning of existence. Saturn can become a teacher who crosses our path and structures our exploration. Thus, through experiences, failures, and mistakes, we start building our philosophy, and we dare to live according to it.

    MAJOR FEAR: Exploring new realities.

    ROLE MODELS: Teachers, explorers, marine life photographers, activists, philosophers

    IMPORTANT: Be true to yourself.

    TIP: Travel. Explore other cultures, other philosophies, and other landscapes. True adventure tourism: take the backpack to countries with foreign languages.

  • Scorpio Moon and/or in House 4 (or Pluto in House 4)

    Scorpio Moon and/or in House 4 (or Pluto in House 4)

    What does the Moon in Scorpio or Scorpio and/or Pluto in the 4th House mean?

    People with these characteristics are used to feeling “in danger.” Both the 4th House and the sign of Cancer, as well as the Moon symbolize emotional security. When they are related to the sign of Scorpio or Pluto, we are talking about individuals who, in one way or another, have felt that their lives were constantly in danger.

    Why? Because Scorpio represents the 8th House… the house where our Self merges with the “outside”. And that represents a danger to our identity. Our survival instinct is awakened. We begin to feel that we have to protect ourselves from imminent danger, constantly.

    Generally, when we have any of these positions in the natal chart, we experience quite difficult situations in our early childhood, especially with the people who have taken care of us and, in particular, in our relationship with mother figures. We may have felt betrayed by them… in one way or another. For Scorpio Moon, and to some extent for Scorpio and Pluto in the 4th House, the relationship with the mother is symbiotic. Any situation where it has been felt that something is not in complete emotional harmony feels like a “betrayal”, especially when we are not yet aware of what is happening to us on an emotional level.

    In fact, it is not necessarily about mothers or mother figures who have been violent or malicious towards us (although in some cases there may be real traumatic experiences)… In reality, it is our perception of them that frightens us. And since we are dealing with individuals who at the same time take care of us, what our subconscious (The Moon) does is bury that fear, make it unconscious and imagine that “everything is fine”.

    Subsequently, through life experiences, we get into situations that are similar to what we experienced in our early childhood. Although we live in a state of permanent alertness that causes suffering, we remain in these situations for a long time because they feel familiar and that gives us a sense of security.

    As adults we stop fearing what we have become accustomed to since childhood. However, for those who have these planetary positions in the birth chart, unconscious fears are very latent. They need courage to go through them, since these fears are related to the feeling of not having felt safe with the person we needed the most. This is a taboo subject for the conscious mind.

    We know that Scorpio symbolizes transformation. Transformation is the mutation from one state to another of the same energy. So, following this analogy, what we see in the energy of Scorpio, which… as much as it seems to destroy what exists, actually transmutes it: from stone to diamond, from caterpillar to butterfly. But… when we are children, we don’t know this. And it scares us.

    Perhaps we need to reach adulthood to review these emotions and discover the treasure that our past experiences hold. However, people with Moon in Scorpio, or Scorpio (and Pluto) in the 4th House – and to some extent Cancer in the 8th House, have this inner power to carry out this review of the past. It is not necessary to live for the rest of our lives with internal crises and turmoil. The power of these astrological positions is the ability to enter into a deep connection with Life.

    Perhaps it is the people with these positions who can delve into everything that most do not dare to feel. The attachment to pain and crises that characterize these positions are nothing more than a defense mechanism to avoid feeling what is really happening inside them. What happens is that the desire to merge with the “other” is intense. And every time we feel that this fusion breaks, we initiate – in one way or another – some crisis situation, which makes us feel “related” once again. This is especially the case when we interact with individuals who have a type of emotional energy that a Water Moon does not “feel” clearly, such as Moons in Fire or Air signs. It just so happens that Scorpio, being a Water and Fixed sign, needs to feel the “shape of the emotion” – that’s where Scorpio is known for its intensity. Scorpio emotions have a “body.”

    Scorpios feel they exist when they can feel their emotional body. When they don’t achieve it by themselves, they look for it in the “other”. If the emotions that come from outside are not intense enough, they will provoke a crisis that intensifies the emotional exchange.

    For Scorpio, emotional separation can feel like death. And this is very clear when the Moon or the 4th House are in this sign. And a child with these characteristics does not have a sufficiently developed consciousness to understand what is happening to him or her. For example, a Scorpio Moon baby may feel abandonment strongly when her mother’s “aura” separates as she leaves and leave him or her alone in the crib. Also, they are able to perceive their mother’s emotional state… tiredness, personal problems and even the desire that “the child finally fall asleep”, something that the child with the Moon in Scorpio can translate as a rejection of his own existence.

    Perhaps a good way to start bringing more awareness to this part that is so hurting, that is so afraid of abandonment and rejection, is to talk to this inner child, who is desperate to make sure that he is loved. It is a job that requires a lot of perseverance because it makes us face our deepest fears. And especially for the Moon in Scorpio, it is necessary to take a look at the belief that our mother has somehow rejected us, something that can arouse great pain.

    Both the 4th House and the Moon represent the internal projections we make of the outside world. The emptiness that is felt when a separation occurs is actually a discrepancy between our internal reality and external reality. The sense of separation will be more pronounced if, as I mentioned before, a Scorpio Moon meets a Fire or Air Moon. This can also happen for a Scorpio in the 4th House. With Earth Moons or other Water Moons, there’s a natural understanding.

    However, the reason we meet Moons that are seemingly incompatible with each other is to awaken our emotional self-awareness. This is how we learn to nourish ourselves according to our own needs. That is when we stop expecting the “food” to come from someone else. This awakening of emotional awareness is what could be called a second rebirth: we stop being children and become our own mothers. This process can be painful for the Moon in Scorpio… perhaps more than for the others since when they go through it they feel the cutting of the energetic umbilical cord with the mother and that means the death of childhood. However, once they manage to complete the process, they realize that relationships, both with the mother and with everyone else, take on a new dimension, deeper and richer.

    Opening up to life confronts us with the world of the unknown
That is the path of transformation
Just like the caterpillar, who can't stop their metamorphosis
And surrender to it completely
Scorpio energy transmutes us from one state to another
Through our emotions.
And so we are transformed by Life.

    In any case, those who have these positions have as a natural gift the internal strength to go through their own metamorphosis and therefore understand the processes of Life. This helps them to open up on an emotional level to all experiences and to understand that death itself does not exist… That it is just a transformation into a new reality.

    The Mythology of the Nodes of the Moon

    In Vedic astrology, the nodes are called Rahu and Ketu, the head and tail of the dragon. Mythology tells that the gods and demons cooperated to stir up the galactic material called Ocean Milk, and this is how they generated Amrita, the nectar of immortality that was intended only for the gods. But one of the dragons took a sip of it. Vishnu, the protector of the Universe, cut the dragon in two parts, Rahu and Ketu, to maintain universal balance.

    The North Node in Cancer

    The North Node (Rahu) describes a new perspective towards life that our Soul seeks to develop in this incarnation. This is an unexplored world. It causes us anxiety as it forces us to leave our comfort zone. The South Node (Ketu) describes what we know, what we have practiced, the path we have traveled and that we know well. However, there is a magnetic force that seeks the union of these two points formed by the crossing of the ecliptic of the sun and the moon. The head (Rahu) wants to join the rest of the body (Ketu).

    When our North Node is in Cancer (or in the 4th house), the Cancer-Capricorn axis comes to life in our life. Here we will go from one extreme to another. On the one hand, we are used to effort, hard work, responsibilities, and doing the right thing in all cases. We take life very seriously. On the other hand, we incessantly seek to nurture ourselves emotionally, a familiar and loving environment. Feel at home. And this can get frustrating.

    With this nodal position, our need for emotional security is contrasted with our responsibilities. The position of the Moon and Saturn in the birth chart can tell us much more about how we relate to these two archetypes.

    In itself, here we are talking about the soul seeking to love what we feel responsible for and, at the same time, feel responsible for what we love.

    But as always happens with nodes, we begin the path of Life by going from one extreme to the other. Either we are very responsible and we focus on our obligations while we forget to nourish ourselves with what satisfies us emotionally, or we stay at home, taking care of our family, our home, while we feel that we should be working and taking care of our duties.

    This nodal axis seeks the integration of these two energies, and since it is about the nodes, they are the energies that we understand the least.

    The Moon’s nodes indicate an internal and eternal anguish, because they describe a part of our consciousness that is divided in two, just as the past and future are. Perhaps the solution is to stay in the present. And yes, it is not easy, we are talking about the path to enlightenment. But this is how we create a convergent point where Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) can meet.

    The North Node in Cancer seeks to integrate the ability to find emotional satisfaction in what we dedicate ourselves to in life, especially in what we do to project ourselves in society. To do this, we need to validate our emotions as well as the emotions of others. Be more vulnerable and express our feelings. It asks us to be careful not to just focus on the goal, but to understand the nurturing process that a project needs. Perhaps we believe that for something to be worthwhile it needs to have been achieved through “hard work” and that we must ensure that others feel good while not taking care of our own needs.

    When we learn to validate our emotions, we will be much better able to understand the energies of Capricorn and our ability to achieve our goals develops exponentially and satisfactorily but of course, although it sounds simple, this is not easy for someone with this nodal position. We are new to this area and will only understand it through multiple trials and errors.

    Of course, the rest of the chart will indicate why we need to develop these qualities. The birth chart is a Whole, and each planet or astral point is related to the others in a way that, when we look at the birth chart in its entirety, everything makes sense.

    North Node in Gemini (or in the 3rd House)

    Keywords

    Personal attributes to develop: curiosity, mental diversity, interest in everyday subjects and the immediate surroundings, learning to listen and communicate in a pleasant way, using humor.

    The Mythology of the Nodes of the Moon

    In Vedic astrology, the nodes are called Rahu and Ketu, the head and tail of the dragon. Mythology tells that the gods and demons cooperated to stir up the galactic material called Ocean Milk, and this is how they generated Amrita, the nectar of immortality that was intended only for the gods. But one of the dragons took a sip of it. Vishnu, the protector of the Universe, cut the dragon in two parts, Rahu and Ketu, to maintain universal balance.

    The North Node (Rahu) describes a new perspective towards life that our Soul seeks to develop in this incarnation. This is an unexplored world. It causes us anxiety as it forces us to leave our comfort zone. The South Node (Ketu) describes what we know, what we have practiced, the path we have traveled and that we know well. However, there is a magnetic force that seeks the union of these two points formed by the crossing of the ecliptic of the sun and the moon. The head (Rahu) wants to join the rest of the body (Ketu).

    The North Node in Gemini

    When we have the North Node in Gemini (or in the 3rd house), our soul seeks diversity, exchange and above all, learn new things. Gemini (and by analogy House 3) represent communication, writing, short trips, studies, courses, diversity, humor and sociability. The South Node in Sagittarius (or in the 9th House) indicates that we have a lot of experience exploring new cultures, new philosophies, forming beliefs. Perhaps we prefer to travel abroad to experience new things and learn through experience outside of our immediate surroundings.

    With this nodal position, the natural tendency is to let ourselves be carried away by our own beliefs. It is possible that we have a well-defined philosophy of Life. What for us is the Truth is the Truth. We feel an incessant need to make sense of everything, and we can take ourselves too seriously.

    But the North Node leads us to want to relate to our mates, be social, talk with others. And then, it is possible that, despite all the efforts we make to achieve this, we feel strangers in our environment. Many times we feel that we do not know what to talk about … unless we teach what we do know. Perhaps we feel wiser than others. The image that comes to me is that of the boy or girl in the class who knows everything and who has a problem with having a good time at school as other classmates do.

    In spite of everything, the North Node in Gemini greatly awakens the desire for fun, for sociability … We want to be part of the conversations, we want to have fun like others do … but we don’t know how! And when we try, many times we are left talking about trivialities that do not interest us or we enter into conversations that, for some reason, we end up giving lessons to people who end up distancing themselves from us. “You are too serious”, “you are too preachy” – they might say before joining another conversation about the latest movie on Netflix.

    These may be some of the experiences that we live through the years until, little by little, we begin to understand ourselves and look for what we really need.

    In order to understand the qualities of the North Node sign, we need to dare to fully feel the characteristics represented by the South Node sign. Perhaps the reason why balancing the nodal axis seems so difficult is because we do not allow ourselves to feel freely what the South Node represents. The south node in Sagittarius tells us about believing ourselves to be “know-it-all” and not caring about the opinion of others. The North Node in Gemini will ask us to socialize, go out to find more information, learn to ask questions and to base ourselves on facts rather than beliefs.

    In itself, the nodal axis indicates an internal and eternal anguish, because it describes a part of our consciousness that is divided in two, as are the past and future. Perhaps the solution is to stay in the present. In this way, we create a converging point where Rahu and Ketu can meet.

    The signs and the houses where we find the Moon’s nodes indicate an emotional struggle that we all go through. We will live experiences that will take us to the extremes of each sign … and in that way we explore the lack of balance in both one and the other. Mastery comes with time. When the South Node in Sagittarius manages to balance with the North Node in Gemini, we have individuals who explore their immediate surroundings with curiosity and interest. And in that way, they expand their personal wisdom.

    Over time, these natives begin to understand that if they don’t understand something, asking questions is okay. They learn to use tact in conversation. They are also interested in worldly subjects, understanding that they are just another manifestation of the Great Truth. They learn to express their doubts and are open to new ideas and experiences.

    Of course, the rest of the chart will indicate why we need to develop these qualities. The birth chart is a Whole, and each planet or astral point is related to the others in a way that, when we look at the birth chart in its entirety, everything makes sense.

  • Mercury in Aries

    Mercury in Aries

    Would you want to know why you are not very patient? Or do you have a hard time concentrating? In this article we are going to discover Mercury in Aries.

    The Meaning of Mercury

    Mercury in the birth chart represents the way we perceive reality, our writing, exchanges with the environment, our adaptability, movements, thoughts processes, our cognitive ability. The sign where it is located describes our capacity for observation, the way we understand what we see, how ideas arise, as well as how we communicate with others and our learning style.

    The position of Mercury in the signs shows that there are twelve ways of perceiving reality. There are twelve ways of understanding and communicating. That is why it is so important to study Mercury … especially within our closest relationships because being able to realize the way another person understands reality, and even recognizing why they communicate as they do, helps to make our relationships richer.

    It is not about adapting to the other person’s Mercury style, but simply about understanding the way the other person communicates and thus avoiding misunderstandings.

    Mercury in Aries

    Aries is a Fire, Cardinal sign and is ruled by Mars. This means that it is pure momentum. It starts things. It acts spontaneously. Aries goes for what she or he wants. They do everything without thinking too much… They’re driven by inspiration!

    When we have Mercury in Aries, we are talking about individuals who express themselves spontaneously, without filters.

    Mercury in Aries is a Fire energy. This mind is like the spark of a match. Being ruled by Mars, it is like a soldier. Individuals with this position will tend to defend themselves when communicating. Their words are like a sword. And sometimes this can give the impression that their talking is somewhat aggressive.

    Of course, their verbal expression and even the way of relating to its environment will vary according to the aspects that this Mercury receives from other planets, as well as the position of Mars, the ruler of Aries. In any case, the essential expression of this Mercury is explosive, without prior consideration before throwing their words out of their mind through their mouth.

    This is an excellent Mercury for motivating others. It is a type of energy that energizes through words.

    This is the Mercury that says “Come on! Come on!”. It makes us get up from the chair and act.

    Mercury in Aries has the ability to see what needs to be done. This position of Mercury observes actions to understand something.

    Mercury in Aries talking

    If we start talking about a particular problem with someone with Mercury in Aries and we hope to be comforted, it will be very difficult to get what we want, because Mercury in Aries will focus on what has been done and what needs to be done. They will start to motivate us to take some kind of action. It is very important to understand how this Mercury works if we want to avoid unnecessary disappointment.

    Another aspect of this position is their competitive intellect. This means that in an argument they will want to win, they will seek to defeat their opponent.

    This Mercury is prone to give speeches in conversations, since it is not very inclined to listen to others. Many times, these individuals will sound martial, as if giving orders.

    Mercury’s Mind in Aries

    The fiery mind of this Mercury may find it difficult to concentrate in the long term. This is a mind that suddenly ignites like a spark of inspiration. If they need to pay attention too long, they might lose interest.

    For this reason, many people with this position may come to believe that they have concentration problems, but in reality, it is very possible that they are using their minds with something that is not compatible to their nature.

    They should avoid intellectual activities that require time, patience, method, etc., because Mercury in Aries has an intuitive mindset, they receive an idea from their spirit and once they carry it out, they move on to something else. Mentally they are very independent and do not follow linear thoughts. Albert Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci have Mercury in Aries.

    “I believe in intuitions and inspirations…I sometimes FEEL that I am right. I do not KNOW that I am.”

    Albert Einstein

    The birth chart shows us a cosmic moment in perfect balance. Many astrologers sometimes say that someone with Mercury in Aries should practice patience. In my opinion, this is not the case. For me, Mercury in Aries has to be Mercury in Aries. And this is because this position (like that of any other planet) is of vital importance for the balance of the rest of the birth chart.

    As we live in a diverse reality, where we find twelve different perspectives according to astrology, those who have other positions of Mercury, and especially those with Mercury in Earth or Water signs, can say that this Mercury in Aries is too impulsive, too individualistic, not listening to others. In reality, individuals with Mercury in Aries need to express this energy as it is since, as I have said before, it is fundamental to the expression of their whole being.

    The genius of Albert Einstein – Mercury in Aries

    As I have already mentioned, the aspects that Mercury receives from other planets will give us details of the challenges or facilities that this Mercury encounters. In any case, we must allow the free flow of this energy without repression or control, because this is the energy that gives birth to new ideas.

    The 3rd Chakra and Your Sun Sign

    What is a chakra?
