ST. GEORGE — This week begins with a momentous cosmic event that won’t happen again until 2036.
On Sunday, the great benefic Jupiter will conjunct Chiron, an asteroid astrologically known as the “wounded healer,” at 14 degrees Aries.
A conjunction amplifies energy and occurs when astral bodies line up in the sky as seen from Earth. A Jupiter-Chiron conjunction happens about once every 14 years and is said to open a “healing portal” by many astrologers. While the energy began building in late February and can be felt through March 25, the energy reaches its highest potency Sunday.
While a Jupiter-Chiron conjunction can feel emotionally triggering, the energy is meant to turn our attention to wounds in need of healing in order to free ourselves from harmful self-narratives. Facing these deep hurts and being vulnerable offers a unique chance to discover the wisdom within these wounds, so we may alchemize pain into something that could help others.
Collectively, this conjunction asks us to closely examine our personal self-concept, how we define ourselves and what we need to heal in order to step into a more authentic version of ourselves. This also is about the physical body and identifying issues that could be causing a significant drain on your vitality and emotional well-being.
On Tuesday, Mars, the planet of action and drive, forms a challenging aspect with Neptune, the planet of dreams and spirituality. This same aspect occurred during the months of October and November last year. A Mars-Neptune square has the tendency to dissipate energy and awaken feelings of restlessness or depletion in order to illuminate where in life we’ve become off balance.
On Thursday, three notable aspects take place. First, Mercury conjuncts Neptune in Pisces, which could spur sudden inspiration or have others drifting through daydreams and feeling mentally checked out.
Then, Venus, the goddess of love, squares Pluto, the planet of transformation and power. Passion and intensity will be present but some may experience power struggles in love.
Finally, Venus will enter Taurus, where she will stay until April 11. This represents a time when physical expressions of love and a desire for luxury and high-quality items will be on high. On its shadow side, this energy can manifest as over-possessiveness with partners or overspending. Be mindful that you aren’t trying to buy love, so to speak. On the bright side, Venus in Taurus cranks up the romance and grounds us in the present. Artistic expression is now favored.
So what does all this mean for you? Find out below.
Aries
This week begins with the Jupiter-Chiron conjunction in your sign, dear Aries, which is turning your attention to who you are and your physical vitality. Perhaps you’ve been giving too much of yourself to others and now are feeling stripped of a sense of self. Or maybe you’ve been devaluing yourself or having to modify yourself in some way to appease others, which as a result, is draining your physical energy. You are being asked to release any outdated personas that are draining your personal power.
Tuesday, the energy shifts to matters related to a conflict between how you think and what you believe. You may feel like your words are getting lost in translation. This energy is challenging you to integrate your higher wisdom and the words you speak.
On Thursday, Venus enters a part of the sky that for you deals with your sense of self-worth and finances. You have a taste for the finer things of life now and may be inclined to spoil yourself or your beloved with luxurious items, just be careful not to spend more than you have. This energy is all about experiencing life through the five senses and desiring to indulge. And, hey, why not?
Taurus
The Jupiter-Chiron conjunction on Sunday is revealing any unconscious wounds you’ve been avoiding. This may open a window into a part of yourself that feels uncomfortable and could be associated with any insecurity in a close relationship. You are being asked to sit with yourself now and embrace solitude in order to tune in with yourself. Pay attention to your dreams.
Tuesday, the energy shifts to highlight an ongoing conflict between self-worth and your future hopes. Perhaps some aspect of your self-perception is inhibiting you from going after something you really want.
On Thursday, your ruling planet Venus moves into your sign for its near-monthlong stay, dear Taurus, which will have most feeling in top form. You may be inspired to change your appearance in some way during this time, whether that’s adorning yourself with glamorous accessories or trying out a new hairstyle. Your partner or a secret admirer will likely give you more attention now, or you could attract someone new due to your Venusian glow.
Gemini
The week for you begins with the Jupiter-Chiron conjunction turning your mind to stress you’ve felt with friendships and could indicate a sudden break away from recent feelings of loneliness, dear Gemini. If you’ve been dealing with any resentments, you may now find a way to forgive. This also could trigger you to compare what you foresaw your life to be and what it is. Trust in the expansion of these areas now.
Tuesday, your attention will turn to a conflict between your identity and public persona that likely has been causing inner turmoil for some time. Perhaps you’ve been feeling as if you have to hide a certain part of yourself when on the public stage, so to speak.
On Thursday, Venus will enter a part of the sky that for you deals with your subconscious, spirituality and dreams. You’re likely to have a taste for the mystical during this time or may be drawn to someone esoteric and compassionate. This influence brings out empathetic qualities in you but also may have you wanting more rest. Even the most mercurial Gemini deserves to treat themselves to a little relaxation.
Cancer
The Jupiter-Chiron conjunction opens the chance to heal wounds related to your public reputation or career, dear Cancer. This has to do with a missed opportunity or a fear of going after what you really want. Perhaps you didn’t receive support or your parents had a different dream for you that led you down a different track. It’s time to reconnect with your true desires and revive the pioneering spirit you’ve carried all along.
On Tuesday, something that’s been hidden may show itself now, perhaps in a dream, that conflicts with some aspect of your personal beliefs and may offer a way to expand your perspective.
On Thursday, Venus will begin transiting a part of the sky for you that deals with future hopes and friendships. Time with others will feel extra special now, and you’ll be feeling more hopeful about the future.
Leo
On Sunday, the Jupiter-Chiron conjunction is projecting its healing energy on matters related to your belief systems and philosophical worldview, dear Leo, and you are asked to consider how religious or spiritual beliefs shaped you. For some, this may illuminate where you may have felt that your beliefs didn’t perfectly align with what you were told, and thus you may have struggled with your own sense of morality as a result. Breaking out of routine and doing something spontaneous can help you restore faith in your own intuition.
Tuesday may spotlight a conflict for you that has to do with trust and your inner circle that has been depleting your energy. You may find a way forward after this influence passes.
Thursday, Venus enters a part of the sky that for you deals with career and public reputation. This is a fortuitous placement for Venus, and you may feel the heat of the spotlight on you. You’re being called to step up as a leader and shine.
Virgo
For you, dear Virgo, the Jupiter-Chiron conjunction is occurring in a deeply psychological part of your chart that deals with the death and birth cycle. Healing for you has to do with letting go and spotlights any issues with trust. If you’ve been struggling to reach a deeper level with someone, it may have to do with a tendency for perfectionism and wanting things just so, rather than surrendering to the unrestricted flow of true intimacy, which ultimately offers something far more gratifying than something you try to control.
Tuesday may illuminate a conflict between your career and a close partnership. Perhaps you’ve been feeling pulled between the two, which has been siphoning your energy. But this is meant to help you find a balance between the two.
On Thursday, Venus moves into a part of the sky that for you deals with personal beliefs and long-distance travel. You have a taste for what’s foreign now, and you may be pulled toward someone from a different culture or who offers a completely different perspective than yours. This is a time to shake up what’s been mundane and bring in some new flavors.
Libra
The Jupiter-Chiron conjunction offers a chance for you to heal wounds related to feelings of being taken for granted, dear Libra. This is about setting boundaries with others in order to care for yourself, a lifelong struggle for Librans, as you are the mediator and one who seeks to bring harmony to a situation. Leaving yourself out of the equation, however, is the very thing creating the imbalance. Be intentional with whom you give your time.
Tuesday may have you feeling the desire to escape your normal everyday routine, which could indicate feelings of boredom and a need to revive a sense of adventure in your daily life.
On Thursday, your ruling planet Venus will enter a part of the sky that for you deals with shared resources and personal transformation. This will be a time when you are desiring depth. Surface-level conversations just won’t do. Intimacy with a partner can deepen at this time, or you may be attracted to someone who is markedly magnetic. This also is a time to think about ways you might grow passive streams of income or receive an unexpected monetary gain.
Scorpio
The Jupiter-Chiron conjunction offers a chance for you to heal in matters related to physical health and the mind-body connection, dear Scorpio. This is a time to observe your thoughts and consider how they may be affecting your overall well-being. If you’ve been overworking or giving too much of yourself to a project, it’s time to prioritize your health, clean up your diet and be more active. This influence also could manifest as physically healing an ongoing ailment.
Tuesday could have you feeling the desire to bring more depth to what you create, or you could feel the strain of shared resources inhibiting your ability to have fun in the way you like. This influence is asking you to find a balance between your personal desires and what you share.
On Thursday, Venus begins its transit through a part of the sky that for you deals with close partnerships, which will have you feeling extra close to those you love. This is a time when you’ll find it easier to compromise and find harmony in one-on-one partnerships, including business partners. You may decide to deepen a commitment now or be attracted to people with whom you see long-term potential.
Sagittarius
For you, dear Sagittarius, the Jupiter-Chiron conjunction offers an opportunity to heal in matters of what you hold closest to your heart. This energy brings about a revival in creativity and fun for you and encourages you to get out in the world and take some risks. Perhaps this could be related to a business venture or a passion project. If you’ve been afraid to go public with something you’ve been creating, now is the time to take the leap.
Tuesday may see a conflict come to a head with someone in your home or feel destabilized due to strain in a close partnership. This influence is challenging you to find inner stability amid external conflicts.
On Thursday, Venus moves into a part of the sky that for you deals with your daily routine, health and service. You may be feeling inspired to beautify your workspace or commit to a healthy habit to improve your overall well-being. For some, this could indicate the development of a crush on a co-worker or a workplace romance. Or you may fall in love with what you do in a new way.
Capricorn
The Jupiter-Chiron conjunction is offering you the chance to tap into how you feel in terms of inner security, dear Capricorn. This can feel a bit counterintuitive for you, dear Capricorn, as your inclination with life is to charge ahead and work to achieve external goals. But too much time spent externally living can widen a sense of disconnect within.
A miscommunication at work or feeling unheard could cause some strain on Tuesday. This influence also could indicate general feelings of burnout. It may be time to learn something new or practice some extra self-care to revive your daily routine and get out of a rut.
On Thursday, Venus enters a part of the sky for you that deals with pleasure, self-expression and children. This marks a time of fun and you’ll be drawn to all things that light up your heart with joy. In essence, this energy brings out the child in you, making it a great time to plan a playful date or get back on the dating scene. Take advantage of this time, dear Capricorn. Even you deserve to let loose and have fun. Your work will be there when you get done.
Aquarius
The Jupiter-Chiron conjunction offers you the chance to heal in terms of communication, dear Aquarius. If you’ve been feeling unheard or misunderstood, now is the time to think about how you express yourself and to find your voice, so to speak. You may be called to stand up and say something, which ultimately can serve as a deeply cathartic experience. This is not a time to dismiss your inner voice.
Tuesday may trigger feelings of self-criticism, especially in terms of things you create or how you parent. This energy is challenging you to appreciate what you create in terms of authentic self-expression. Go easy on yourself.
On Thursday, Venus enters a part of the sky that for you deals with matters related to your inner security and domestic affairs. This is a good time clear out or re-decorate your living space to liven up the energy. You’re more likely to enjoy being at home during this time and could be feeling particularly nostalgic or sentimental. A mother figure could play a significant role during this time.
Pisces
This Jupiter-Chiron conjunction is offering a chance for you to heal in matters of self-esteem, dear Pisces. If you’ve been putting yourself down or falling into patterns of detrimental negative self-talk, now is the time to break the cycle. This also could indicate healing unhealthy relationships you’ve had with money. Pisces is known to put others’ needs before their own but perhaps you’ve gone overboard to the point of self-deprivation.
Tuesday may stir discontent around matters related to how you feel about who you are and could instigate feelings of instability. You are being asked to reconsider where you’ve grown detached from yourself.
On Thursday, Venus enters a part of the sky that for you deals with communication, short-distance travel and what you know. If you’ve been wanting to learn something new, this is a great time to embark on that journey.
