IF THE UNIVERSE WERE TO PRINT A MESSAGE ACROSS THE SKY ASKING US TO HEAL THE WOUNDS OF LOVE
IN THE WORLD, IT COULDN’T GET MUCH CLOSER THAN WHAT IT’S DOING ON VALENTINE’S DAY THIS YEAR.
On Feb. 14th, 2010, the sun conjoins the Neptune-Chiron
conjunction in the sky. We often think of Neptune as the
planet of illusions – which it certainly is – but we don’t always
remember it is also the planet of universal, unconditional
love; the planet of unity, melting away the artificial barriers
we construct to separate me vs. you, him vs. her, and most
important of all, the extremely divisive “us” vs. “them.”
The other big player in this event, Chiron, has gained
the moniker, “the wounded healer,” but Lynda Hill came up
with another description that rings true. She described the
captured comet’s role as providing us with the stories we tell
ourselves about ourselves.
In mythology, Chiron traveled the
earth seeking a remedy for the immortal arrow wound that
would not heal and that he had received while defending Hercules. In his search for relief from the pain he collected the
lore of medicine which he shared with his accolytes.
Likewise,
in seeking the indescribable beauty of oneness with the Universe, we search many caves and coves in our lifetimes, and
collect many stories.
It is up to us to choose the ones with value over the ones that may give temporary
solace but hold no truth. Like the belief
that he is better than she, she is better
than I, or we are better than “them.”
Chiron and Neptune have been dancing very close to each
other recently. In the fixed air sign of Aquarius, they offer us
the opportunity to take the experience of unity and to firmly
plant it in the permanent records of humanity. A volume of
planetary health we can only hope will become the most well-
read book in mankind’s collective library.
On Valentine’s Day, the Sun, our solar hero, joins the dance
to command our attention and focus all eyes on what can be
gained. Stand up, speak out, take action, be accountable. This
is the day to remind ourselves that everyone is our soul’s lover.
Our soulmate is not one individual; but rather the act of soul-mating is the ability to remove the blinders from our eyes and
see that at essence we are all soul and thus all one.
Rejoice in the rediscovery of what unites us all and let’s
make Cupid a very busy little guy this year! |
