On Sunday, Chiron begins spinning retrograde in Aries. This asteroid represents pain, healing, and personal growth. During Chiron’s travels through Aries since 2018, you’ve felt stirred to unearth new layers of self-understanding—and, in the process, delved deeper into your subconscious. This week (and through the end of the year), you worry about losing control over your circumstances. Insecurities and core wounds resurface, and you clear them in unexpected ways. Later, on Friday, messenger Mercury enters Virgo, amplifying your communication skills and intellectual prowess. You’re extra articulate now, and your words carry power and influence. This is a favorable time for self-promotion, public speaking, and sharing your expressive talents with the world.
