I am currently reading about \u201cTheta Healing\u201d subtitled \u201cAn Introduction to an Extraordinary Energy Healing Modality\u201d by Vianna Stibal.\u00a0 I am finding it an enjoyable, though slow read, worth looking into.\u00a0 There are 3 Chiron aspects altogether in this week, so such explorations may be assisted and enhanced. \u00a0Mercury enters Scorpio on Wednesday 20<sup>th<\/sup>, and the day sees an intensification of mental processes.\u00a0 Another are of cosmic activity is provided by Green Comet Hartley that day.\u00a0 The Guardian reports: \u201cIt is only a small comet and lacks any appreciable tail.\u00a0 Instead, a small knot of greenish luminosity surrounding its icy nucleus is set within an extensive circular glow.\u00a0 The latter is hard to see unless the sky is free of light pollution and moonlight.\u201d\u00a0 Comets were always regarded with awe and wonder in previous centuries, and to some extent still are, and if you experience a state of awe and wonder that day you may possibly re-trace it to comet Hartley.\u00a0 On Thursday 21<sup>st<\/sup> Mars trines Jupiter, a wholeheartedly positive aspect, especially if you need energy to get things going.\u00a0 If you have been trying to get a project off the ground, or wonder why good quality sleep is eluding you, you may wake up on that day raring to go and finding others also bubbling with energy (Mars) + enthusiasm (Jupiter) = the green light.\u00a0 Mars squares Neptune on Friday 22<sup>nd<\/sup>, and it is \u201chold on there is something not quite right here, we need to investigate\u201d.\u00a0 A red light in some cultures, or maybe amber, or blue.\u00a0 Not a day to continue rushing ahead, but a day to sensitively feel your way through and take account of any interpersonal complexities, or even any extraterrestrial information which may be coming through your antennae.\u00a0 Mars also squares Chiron, so healing initiatives may also be problematic temporarily, and energies will be awkward.\u00a0 However, later that day assistance is provided by Mercury sextile Pluto, important information coming through and important conversations, real communication being exchanged.\u00a0 A Full Moon on the border of Aries and Taurus occurs in the early hours of Saturday 23<sup>rd<\/sup> (and the evening of Friday 22<sup>nd<\/sup> for the U.S.).\u00a0 This may provide understanding about the intensity and complexity of the build-up in energies of the last few days, and you may feel a sense of relief like a cool gentle shower of rain after mugginess.\u00a0 The Sun then enters Scorpio and we feel that we are on track, what we are doing is important and has meaning, and that more people are singing from the same hymn sheet.\u00a0 Just refer back to the Chilean miners if you need perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>33 gold and copper miners were miraculously rescued a few days ago, with Jupiter transiting the Chilean natal Pluto, and the profile status of their country Chile was also raised.\u00a0\u00a0 This last week has been a neutral or even creative space without major astrological aspects, the first since I started blogging in early 2007.\u00a0 What [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/ph9pin-dn","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
