In previous posts I have written about the ingress of the outer energy points (Chiron from Aquarius to Pisces, Uranus from Pisces to Aries, Neptune from Aquarius to Pisces, and Pluto from Sagittarius to Capricorn). Just one of these energy points changing signs is significant, consider the shift in the US and the World when Pluto moved from Sagittarius (Expansion) to Capricorn (Responsibility) at the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008. During this current span of five years (2007 to 2012), all the outer energy points will transition from one sign into another and we can expect what we have received so far, a world in massive transition.

Our wound to face while Chiron was in Aquarius dealt with idealism across the spectrum of our lives. Chiron entered Aquarius in March of 2005, just five months before Hurricane Katrina. The sheer lack of preparedness and subsequent failures following the disaster was a wound of a very different sort than the September 11, 2001 attacks (under Capricorn and to our financial center). Throughout its journey, which ended in February 2011, America elected a President on the slogan of Change, We Can Believe In and got the Same Old, Same Old. At the time of this post Congress has one of the lowest approval ratings in American History and the President is fairing little better.
What can we expect with Chiron in Pisces? Pisces rules spirituality, dreams, and the larger consciousness of humanity. We can expect the wound to take shape around those energies from 2011 until 2019, when Chiron will permanently enter Aries. In the US chart Chiron resides in Aries in the 5th House (Sibley Chart, Whole Signs System). Americans actually wound themselves through their independence and warrior approach. No country has more successfully broken apart community and family at the micro and macro level than America. The uber independence ideal has created a fractured health care system , a stagnant education system, and host of other ills no longer fully offset by the benefits. In the current direction, what do you think we can expect when Chiron returns to its original position in April of 2024? Will Americans heal this wound or be wounded more deeply, thinking the way forward remains the path of extreme individualism?
Chiron also functions as a bridge between the inner energy points, ending with Saturn, and the outer energy points beginning with Uranus, so it connects the individual with larger human consciousness. Chiron is currently transiting through America's 4th House (of Family and the Inner Life). One interesting outcome of the Great Recession has been the sometimes forced reconnection of family as adult children and baby boomer parents find that they must rely on each other if one or both get swept away in the tide of economic contraction. Old or unresolved wounds around family will likely emerge with renewed and forced dependency. Healing will come in the form of renewed family connections, the creation of new non-standard families, and the re-localization of communities. In April of 2012 Chiron will conjunct Natal Ceres (the Harvest), retrograde back over nCeres in August, and complete its final forward pass in February of 2013. The 4th House sees a lot of activity; the Progressed Sun is nearly conjunct nCeres now, Progressed Neptune will reenter Pisces in February of 2012 and conjunct nCeres in April of 2015, and Progressed Pallas is approaching the midway point through the house. In all, we will see a refocus (pSun) on family while dealing with dreams/illusions/delusions (pNeptune) about family as we strategically think about family and its purpose in our lives (Pallas).
What this time appears to offer through these massive transitions, at least for Americans, is a rejuvenation of family, but not along past lines. Uranus just finished its journey through the 4th House and "awakened" and "revolutionized" the American family. If we try to "go back," as will be one of the strong suggestions during this time, we will find greater difficulty than if we find a way to mesh our strong individualism with a strong sense of family ... and, perhaps, more importantly, the inner life. Do not be surprised if, as resources and wealth dwindle writ large in the coming conclusion to the debt supercycle, people find a greater need for a more secure and abundant inner life instead of an outer life of consumption and constant distraction. Chiron will focus us all on issues of family and inner life, especially as the placement of Chiron plays out in the specific location of each individual's chart.
