With the Sun still deposited in the early degrees of fast-forwarding Aries, there’s plenty of desire now to see it all, do it all, to make it all happen. At the same time, however, the Moon’s passage through tunneling Scorpio also gives us the inclination to scale deeper with things, to probe, to investigate (for maybe combing through the newly-completed Mueller report? The report was released with the Aries Sun exactly conjunct wounded healer Chiron!).
Additionally, the Scorpio Moon can serve to awaken our passions. It’s often said that uncovering what we’re passionate about in life, and engaging in those passions on a regular basis, often goes a long way in determining the quality of our life. In other words, there’s seemingly a lot of power in passion. In having something to do that fills us with joy. That makes us lose track of time. I enjoy blogging here because it gives me a sense of purpose. Makes me feel more alive in the morning, which at my age, is quite an accomplishment! 🙂 What often trips me up with the blogging, though, and maybe you can relate, is when I inject the self-critical or judgmental piece into the equation. I’ll write something that I think is okay at the time, but a few minutes later, when I re-read it, I’ll suddenly hate it, and will want to strike the darn thing from the face of the earth! Probably part of the whole dark, sick Scorpio birth, death, rebirth thing! But hey, it’s all good! It’s how we presumably learn and grow.
On this Day in History: On March 23, 1945, the Battle of Okinawa occurred. US Navy ships bomb the Japanese island of Okinawa in preparation for the Allied invasion. It would become the largest battle of the Pacific War during World War II. In the sky on that fateful day, the Sun was in confrontational Aries, the sign of the military, and exactly opposite the Chiron and Neptune midpoint in Libra. The Sun was also applying to a square to Saturn in Cancer; Saturn was also squaring both Chiron and Neptune. Mars, the ruler of war, was also at 29 degrees of Aquarius, a critical degree.

Hi Patrice ~ So interesting about the Chiron-Sun conjunction and it being Erich Fromm’s birthday. With transiting Chiron and now the Sun highlighting his natal Sun/Mercury, these past few days I’ve read several (maybe three?) different online articles mentioning him.
Also interesting how Fromm’s natal Sun-Mercury conjunction in Aries (independent thinking) squared his natal Saturn in Capricorn (authority).
Just yesterday I read an insightful political piece (on the alternative website Counterpunch, written by regular contributor and practicing psychologist, Bruce E. Levine) that included some of Erich Fromm’s more provocative thoughts on anti-authoritarian versus authoritarian thinking ~ a Chiron-Sun in Aries theme for sure.
The distinction was made between what it means to be a courageous, anti-authoritarian thinker in an authoritarian-based society such as ours, and merely taking selective and seemingly anti-authoritarian positions when it serves our best interests or is politically saavy to do so ~ which, in my opinion is sometimes, but not always, an unconscious process.
Wherever we find ourselves on the political spectrum, left, right, or somewhere in between, our cultural conditioning intentionally exploits the human need to fit in, feel safe, and be seen as normal (and/or exceptional, albeit within a certain range) by members of our chosen tribes. It also conditions us to normalize, accept, even condone systemic violence, scapegoating, and repression ~ all things I hope transiting Chiron in Aries will help make conscious rather than exacerbate.
Hi,
Thank you so much for sharing, so eloquently, your very interesting and perceptive insights! I also just checked out Erich Fromm’s natal chart. His natal Sun is, fascinatingly, exactly conjunct my Aries Ascendant!
You also mentioned Erich’s Mercury-Sun conjunction in Aries square to Saturn in Capricorn and his thoughts regarding anti-authoritarian versus authoritarian thinking – and it being a Chiron-Sun Aries theme. I agree with you there. What’s also interesting is I’ve actually been thinking a lot about the Mercury square Saturn aspect, the last few days, as I just started reading a book on Stonewall Jackson and he had Mercury in Aquarius square Saturn in Taurus. At times, he could be amazingly rigid in his thinking (Saturn in Taurus), but then he also had some very brilliant and original insights that he showcased (Mercury in Aquarius) during his command in the Civil War.
Also love what you said about the impact of our cultural conditioning and how you hope Chiron in Aries will serve to make us more aware of how our conditioning can exploit us and also numb us to systemic violence, etc. I hope that it does too! I think it is very hard to escape or detach from the myriad influences always impinging upon our psyches. Plus, most of us seem to have a need to be liked and appreciated by others and that does tend to make us very vulnerable indeed.
