Thinking about Chiron, his Nemesis asteroid Heracles, Mortality, and Immortality today, I checked on the timing of their Dance together. Heracles turns Retrograde on 13 July 2020, which itself is interesting, as it means that Heracles is Strong here, and would likely be Invested in Restraining Chiron from Transmuting his Wound, ie, in preventing us from Experiencing the Ego Death that would give us Permission to Abandon our Victimhood, and Revise our Life to make room for the Broader Horizons that Eschewing Victimhood enables. Another twist in the Paradoxical Mystery School surrounding the Chironean Incentive to take Intuitive Action (Moon-Mars) to Expand our Consciousness (asteroid Juno) to make room for greater Unconditional Self-Love (asteroid Sappho).
As for Mortality and Immortality, Chiron was Immortal but Chose Mortality to Avoid the Immortal Pain of his Unhealable Wound. Heracles was half Mortal because his mother Alkmene (asteroid Alkmene is Conjunct Uranus at 12 Taurus as we speak – the whole family is here!) was Mortal. His Mortal half built his own funeral pyre and immolated himself to Avoid the Pain and Disintegration from the poison that Nessus had tricked him into wearing (dwarf planet Nessus [Abuse and Privilege] as we speak is 3½ Degrees from the Chiron Station, in 14 Pisces, Conjunct Ceres [Sustainability], just beyond our usual three Degrees of Sensitivity). Nessus earned his reputation for Patriarchal Abuse and Privilege by attempting to rape Heracles’s wife, for which Heracles killed him.
It turns out that asteroid Heracles turns Retrograde before he crosses Chiron, meaning his probably-Patriarchy-Supporting tricks are just warming up. Heracles is an Earth-Crossing asteroid with an orbit of only 2½ years, so it backs up much faster than Chiron does, with its orbit of 50 years. Consequently, Heracles doesn’t cross Chiron till 18 March 2021. It also turns out that asteroid Heracles’s symbolic father and contractee, asteroid Zeus, is as we speak making a Challenging Angle (T-Square) to Chiron and Heracles (from 13 Capricorn), and to our Self-Love (Juno-Sappho). Asteroid Zeus is another Earth-Crosser, so the Patriarchy is Alive and Well here, looking over our Should-er. Keep that in mind as you debate with yourself whether or not to Eschew your Self-Deprecating Habits – and of course also Remembering that debating is antithetical to the Paradox we seek to Discover.

The other important Configuration that we haven’t discussed yet, is the Challenge (T-Square) to Our Heart’s Truth (asteroid Aletheia) from a Tug-of-War (Opposition) between Our Soul (Uranus) and Our Karma (asteroid Moira [Fate and Choice]). Our Karma Constitutes our Fate until we bring it into Consciousness. Once we do that, and Choose to Act on it, or at least PIAVA Acting on it in a Safe way, what used to be our Fate becomes our Choice. It’s rather amazing how this Challenge Mirrors the one we discussed earlier (Moon-Mars-Chiron-Heracles Opposite Juno-Sappho T-Squared by Zeus). But here we have the Power of Our Own Soul taking a stand against our Slavery under the Patriarchy and its Enforcer our Karma.
Our Karmic Habits and the Conscious or Unconscious Either/Or Morality that comes with them is the Picture of our Yangtegrity – our tendency to Do What We Said We Were Going to Do, and our Slavery to the Patriarchy. The 2D Mind Mirrors that. To move toward 5D and that Field where Rumi suggested we Meet, we need to move into Yintegrity – our birthright to Act from our Intuition and Do What We Feel Like Doing, Moment to Moment. That’s tempered by frequently Renegotiating, and when that’s not possible and the Relationship is worth keeping, Making Amends.
The theme of Mortality and Immortality plays out through our Immortal Soul (Uranus) outlasting the Poisons of the Patriarchy and the Karma which Yangtegrity forced upon us when Eve fired up the Left Brain by eating the Apple. As a Projection of Adam (his rib), Eve was the first Patriarchal Enabler, leaving Lilith as the alternate template, for Feminist Yintegrity. Meanwhile, our Current-Linear-Time purveyor of Mortality, the Coronavirus, invites Compassion from the Yintegrous Empathetic, and Denial from the Yangtegrous Sociopathic, even as it locks the Patriarchy in the Death Spiral we see playing out today. Very Clearly, a Portal to 5D.
