Third Quarter Moon Phase

Overnight, two major astrological events took place: Chiron stationed retrograde and Jupiter entered Gemini.  These changes are palpable within the energy today and will initially produce the potential to feel isolated, lonely, or alienated.  You will probably naturally feel more introverted and quiet.  Chiron will be retrograde until mid-November and is going to amp up already-present energies that will increasingly open us up to spiritual energies and, in turn, heal our individual sense of separation or lingering feelings of loneliness.  To do this, the feeling of isolation is enhanced today, but not only by Chiron, but also Jupiter.  In mythological astrology, both Chiron and Jupiter are great teachers.  They are joining forces now to teach us that the feeling of loneliness is an illusion and that we are never truly alone.  They will teach us that nothing about ourselves - our happiness, our sense of self and self-esteem, our success - is dependent on anything in the material world.  We naturally exist in the uninterrupted dreaming of the planet and when we identify ourselves or place our locus of control outside of that connection, we are astray.  Feelings of loneliness, sadness, and dissatisfaction ensue.
