You are in the midst of a healing journey as Chiron spins retrograde in Aries. While this asteroid has been swimming through Aries since 2018, you’ve felt stirred to unearth deeper layers of self-understanding—and, in the process, peel back layers of self-doubt. This week (and through the end of the year), you notice yourself rethinking who you thought you were. Core wounds resurface, and you clear them in unexpected ways. Take this time to reflect on how you define yourself. When Mercury retrograde backslides into Leo on Wednesday, revisit old hobbies or interests that you may have set aside. You might find yourself meditating on the topic of children, youthfulness, or your inner child—your playful, creative side. Misunderstandings or miscommunications could also arise in your romantic interactions. Reflect on how you communicate your feelings and affection in romantic relationships.
