Today, the planet Neptune will complete its orbit around the Sun and move back into its ruling zodiacal sign of Pisces. In Greek mythology, Neptune is represented by Poseidon, the Olympian god of the Sea. He is associated with mysticism and creativity, such as the arts and music. He is also the ruler of spiritual enLightenment. He is Unconditional Love, the higher octave of Self Love.

Neptune says, "I love you because it's my nature to love."

Carl Woebcke

But there is a much smaller planet, called Chiron, that has also now entered the sign of Pisces.

In Greek mythology, the planet Chiron is represented by a centaur who sustained a battle wound to the knee, which never healed. He suffered endlessly from it. And his constant suffering drove him to search frantically for some form of relief.

That search brought to him an expanded awareness of the art of healing. He became a healer, teacher and prophet, a status that earned him the name the 'Wounded Healer.' But, because of his incurable wound, Chiron eventually chose to relinquish his immortality and die. One of the Olympian gods then gave him a place among the stars as the constellation Sagittarius.

If we are careful not to get lost in the glamour that makes up the realm of Pisces and Neptune, there is tremendous potential, during the Chiron trip through Pisces, for a growing spiritual awareness and an integration of Universal consciousness into our own beings. Lynn Hayes

Chiron will remain in Pisces until the year 2019. During that time, they share a lot in common. Pisces is represented by two fish that are swimming in opposite directions. Chiron, the centaur, is half man and half beast. So both are a symbol of duality.

Chiron symbolizes our pain, alienation and woundedness. So, in one form or another, he is connected with our suffering. Pisces is the sign of empathy, sensitivity and compassion. The Pisces part of us feels the pain of Chiron to such an extent that we may feel compelled to alleviate someone else's distress so we won't feel the pain of witnessing it ourselves. Mother Teresa is perhaps the most well known example of this kind of devotion. In her astrological chart, it is shown that she was born with Chiron in Pisces opposite her Sun.[i]

I have found the paradox that, if you Love until it Hurts, there can be no more Hurt, only more Love. Mother Teresa

The last time Chiron was in the sign of Pisces was during the period from 1961 to 1969. This was a period of duality that will never be forgotten by those who lived through it. During that time, the World witnessed many surprising and radical events amidst the backdrop of the Vietnam War. The highlight of this period was the sudden appearance of the hippie counter-culture, whose desire was to break away from the ruling political establishment and establish peace.

As the Sixties progressed, young people all over Europe and North America began to unite in peace and love, and in the celebration of the dawning of this age of Aquarius. In the summer of 1967, one-hundred thousand young people gathered in San Francisco, California, creating a cultural phenomenon called the Summer of Love. This led to an era of gurus and yogis, meditations and various other spiritual practices as masses of people began to search for the vibrations of spiritual awareness and enLightenment. This is what birthed the term good vibrations, which became prevalent during that era.

In 1969, at the end of Chiron's passage through the sign of Pisces, the Hindu Swami Bhaktivedanta arrived as a house guest at the estate of singer/songwriter, John Lennon, where he began to give teachings. This Swami later became known to the world as Srila Prabhupada. He was the founder of the Hare Krishna movement.

So it was Chiron in Pisces who spiritually influenced the Sixties. His effects were felt in the art and music movements, in the use of psychedelic drugs for the purpose of inner investigation and contemplation, and in the quest for spirituality. Ironically, astronomers didn't even discover Chiron until 1977. And, unfortunately, Chiron left before the job was done.

Whatever else may have been going on astrologically, Chiron in Pisces was witness to, and is a sigil of, one of the most extraordinary periods of history remembered by a living person today. Eric Francis

Depending on its orbit, it takes approximately 50 years for Chiron to travel through every sign of the astrological zodiac. The ancients saw a person's 50th year of life as a special time of coming into maturity. To the Maya, when a person turned 52 years of age, they became an elder in their tribe.

In its current orbit, Chiron is taking 51 years to return to its starting place in the zodiac. This means that people who are alive today will experience a Chiron Return around the age of 51, which could be a time of great reckoning for them. It will set the course for the rest of their lives.

Those people who were born in the duality of the Sixties are about to experience this. The Chiron cycle has been a source of much wisdom for them. As their Chiron Return approaches, they will have experienced his passage through every one of their astrological houses and signs.

When Chiron is in Pisces… forms disintegrate, the past is dissolved and our separateness is relinquished.

Melanie Reinhart

But the current passage of Chiron through Pisces is much more significant than the passage that occurred during the Sixties. As of today, Neptune, the ruler of spiritual enLightenment, will also be traveling through Pisces – for the first time in over 160 years. He will remain there for more than a decade.

There are two sides to Chiron – the wounding and the healing. So what happens as Chiron returns this time could provide for an evolutionary leap for all of mankind.
