Back in mid-May, 2016 I injured my left foot. Mars was retrograde at the time and triggering my natal Pluto – and transits to natal Pluto (according to Stephen Arroyo) may mark the ending of ‘an entire phase of life’. This transit isn’t finished yet, as Mars’ retrograde path means he’s now back in Scorpio, finally coming out of his own shadow towards the end of August, 2016.
At the time of the accident, I checked my progressed chart and my moon’s position was exactly square to progressed Saturn, suggesting a time of restriction – and my natal Pluto happens to make a close opposition to my natal moon as well, so there was a lunar focus here – and the moon is associated with the constitutional body, feelings, past lives, etc. (there was another past life connection in the fact that the progressed moon/Saturn angle also triggered into my nodal axis…) – added to which, my natal moon is in the sign of Pisces, associated with feet!
My natal Pluto is ruler of my 9th house of meaning, beliefs, broadening one’s horizons – and my process has been one of trying to make sense of this inner journey, getting new perspectives on old beliefs, learning new stuff about the intelligence of the plant kingdom (major wow!) and trying (succeeding mostly 😉 ) not to beat myself up for the slow recovery process, which has keyed into the deeply sensitive child (moon) that I was (that I am now able to embrace and care for in a different way thanks to the work I’ve been doing before and since the accident).
My Mc (associated with ‘public face’) was also receiving transits from Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune at the time of the incident.
One of my astrologer friends suggested I have a look at my solar return for 2015-16 to shed a bit more light on the proceedings – and there was another revelation! I knew that my solar return sun was in the 12th house of the unconscious (the house often associated with ‘incarceration’), but Jupiter, my Mc ruler was also in the 12th and exactly opposed by Neptune (natural ruler of the 12th). Emphasis in the cadent houses in the solar return (which I only tend to use for confirmation of other things when I’m working – perhaps that needs to change 😉 ) is said to be more likely to affect the last 4 months of the return (in my case mid-May to mid-September)!!
Today was my first real solo walkabout (19th July) in Kendal town since mid-May and the sun was shining! I feel like I’m learning to walk again! I have an acute awareness of how all of my body is involved in taking one step forward – and a greater understanding of why toddlers fall over so many times! This all fits very well with the present moon in Capricorn (ruling the skeletal system), and I’m aware of a shift forwards which is not only connected to my mobility. I decided to look at how tonight’s full moon impacts my chart and discovered that the closest transit is a conjunction to my natal Mercury (which rules co-ordination) from Jupiter (new possibilities and hope for the future), with my progressed moon now approaching a trine (harmony and ease) to progressed Jupiter too, so the future looks more rosy all round…
N.B. The manifestation of all these triggers did not have to be an injury to my foot, but the patterns and synchronicities (acausal) can be really helpful in making sense of life at times…
