I've been pearl-diving in the metaphorical marshlands, taking a deeper look at several mondo transformation, change, and 'crossroads' archetypes.
Of course, I delight in sharing the pearls I find with you.
Today's pearl...
Each of us has our own unique menu of factors that influence our own transformation -- the agents of decontruction and renewal.
But two things we can take a look at are Chiron -- the better known archetype of the 'Wounded Healer' -- and several lesser-known and perhaps even overlooked clues like the asteroid Goddesses and where they appear in our astro-blueprints.
I'm currently at my Chiron Return -- when transiting Chiron returns to its origin in your birthchart -- and I've got the asteroid/tiny-planet Sedna, appropriately as far as I'm concerned, in my natal 12th house.
Sedna also featured prominently on May 12-13, when the conjunction of the Sun and Jupiter also conjoined Sedna in Taurus (and in my 12th house, again).
Sedna the asteroid/tiny-planet was discovered in 2003, and named for the Intuit Goddess of the ocean deeps and the creatures who live there.
Sedna's story also speaks to a realm of our own psyches and beings, of course, and she is intimately related to the re-emerging story of the Divine Feminine.
These are just a few of the potential clues we can use to piece together guidance about our 'power archetypes', and our purpose and life-cycles at any given time, particularly when we're eyeball deep in wild change or at a crossroads.
Clue by clue, breadcrumb by breadcrumb, we follow our Purpose Path, even if our eyes can't see it.
That's particularly true now, in these times, and it'll be more and more the way as more left-brain approaches to 'figuring it out' just don't work.
More on these topics soon (or send me an email to spark up a e-conversation).
In the meanwhile, here's a gem from my web wanderings:
Take a look at Willow's blog entry about Chiron -- here's a tiny tidbit of the spicy wisdom she shares:
"And the army of people bleating about victim consciousness and creating your own reality works very effectively, moving us further from the depth of understanding of power dynamics and structures on this planet that would get us to the true healing points. Every flippant use of those concepts is another pound of pressure pinning Sedna down, suffering in betrayal on the ocean floor."
I've come across only a few other kindred-spirit peeps who weave Chiron with several asteroid and tiny-planet Goddess archetypes (Sedna and Pallas Athena, in this case) as they speak with some spice and feistiness about the re-emergence of the Divine Feminine.
What calls to you these days, or challenges you, when it comes to the Forces of Change or the Forces of the Re-Emerging Feminine? In invite you to your musings in the comments.
Lots of Love,
Jamie
