I have my natal Sun in Libra, the sign of relationship, conjunct Chiron in Libra and have spent many years analyzing what makes us tick when it comes to relating to others.
We held the memorial service for my mother yesterday which went off quite well. Today I’m exhausted but feeling some internal shifts have been resolved. A good thing . . . . When I looked at my chart to see what was going on, three different aspects jumped out.
First, the transiting Nodes have just completed squaring my natal Nodes – basically forming a Grand Cross on the Angles. It just makes sense that resolving issues surrounding my mother’s death, the deepening relationship with my father and my self-image undergoing yet another metamorphosis all come into play. There are many facets of this that will most likely emerge over the coming months, especially with the Mercury in Cancer Rx in my 8th House. Not to mention Saturn continuing to bear down on my Mars, Mercury & ASC.
Ceres is currently forming an exact opposition to my Sun and conjuncting the cusp of my 6th House. The timing of this transit speaks to me of the need to nurture myself and allow the healing to begin by embracing the summer season, eating lots & lots of fruits and vegetables as they ripen to promote a better sense of health and well-being. Ceres will be moving into Taurus shortly encouraging me to slow down and stay in the moment and by aspecting my Scorpio 12th House planets, allowing the dreams and deep, slow thoughts to emerge from the subconscious. Now how to do that while completing all the tasks that wait at my day job and the usual “stuff” around home, I haven’t really figured out yet!
An interesting transit that I just noticed was Juno having gone Rx on my Sun in Libra on February 14, 2007 and is now turning Direct on the Mid-point between my Moon & Neptune at the time of the memorial service for my mother. Obviously this relates to my relationship with my mother and how I see myself as a partner in a long-term relationship but as I just noticed it, I’m going to have to turn this one over in my mind for awhile.
Following transits of the asteroids and the Moon Nodes, it is easy to see how they are very useful in helping define cycles in our lives – even if I haven’t worked out all the details yet. Losing a parent is a MAJOR cyclical event in one’s life and its well worth noting what’s going on in the Heavens during that time. I apologize for the current lack of clarity but that too will pass as all this gets processed. Right now I’m still suffering from an overload of Family . . . 
This photo was when the Moon was still in Scorpio and approaching Full . . . I felt lucky it came out as good as it did!

beautiful photo neith.Dark trees rooted in the earth reaching skyward embracing that luminous moon. A moment very tuned to you. echoing elsa, hugs surround you dear sister of the eastside.
lovely, lovely moon. Was it at dusk or dawn?am I reading too much between the lines? did I miss something? big hugs to you, dear neith, whatever’s going on.i am resting up tonight from a full weekend with Pookie. mercurial child — one moment a sunny charmer. the next, sobbing hysterically because someone has left his sight. taurus, scorpio asc., aries moon, gemini merc. libra mars. pisces venus. what a handful. we’re not so worried about the autism but he does seem young for his age. I remember Eric speaking more coherently at his age. Oh, well, every baby’s different. His little double Virgo brother is very different. A very quiet baby with an amazing strength already showing. Adores his big brother too already.
Thank you all for your hugs! The memorial service for my mom really did go well & helped me greatly to feel comfortable being in the house again. It’s become my dad’s house to me now rather than their house. It took two Saturn Returns but i finally was able to feel comfortable getting up in front of the extended family and telling them how much my mom loved them all & how much she would have enjoyed seeing them all gathered together.My dad & I both are relieved to have this particular event in the past. We both cleaned our houses, yards, etc. getting ready.
Dark trees rooted in the earth reaching skyward embracing that luminous moon. that says it well. for me, it was grabbing the camera & running outside to see if i could get the picture before it got too dark for my little camera (it was at dusk . .)
i am resting up tonight from a full weekend with Pookie. mercurial child — one moment a sunny charmer.Good hearing you had time with Pookie again! I received my weekly photos of both grand babies today . . . adorable of course! Like your little Virgo, these two seem unusually focused and aware. We could chalk that up to doting grandmothers . . . but maybe not
