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, rediscovered your creative talents. This week (and through the end of the year), you feel insecure in your creative pursuits or romantic relationships. Core wounds resurface, and you clear them in unexpected ways. Later, on Friday, messenger Mercury enters Virgo, boosting your intellectual prowess at work. You’re energized in your professional pursuits. Your self-expressive style becomes sharper and more analytical, helping you express your big ideas. Get to work! This is a favorable time for professional networking, presentations, research, and communications projects.
