December 23, 2022: New Moon at Capricorn
01°32’, 5:16 am EST; Chiron Stationary.

This New Moon aligns with a station of Chiron in Aries,
turning direct after being retrograde since July.

Where Chiron falls in our chart describes our core wound.

The core wound for Chiron in Aries involves difficulties
in identifying and then initiating our unique expression.

This concept applies collectively as well. Humanity
is struggling to initiate a new collective expression.

Jupiter – the principle of expansion – has recently (December 20)
reentered Aries for the final time.

The Capricorn Sun/Moon conjunction is
in a tight T-square with Jupiter and also with Ceres.

The last two play primary roles in one of the most important myths
of Greek and Roman culture
– the kidnapping and rape of Persephone by Pluto/Hades.

Ceres – Demeter to the Greeks
– was the Goddess of Agriculture and
mother of Persephone. Jupiter
– Zeus
– was the King of the Gods and
Persephone’s father.

A turning point in this long and complicated story
occurs when Ceres/Demeter is forced to make a deal
with Jupiter/Zeus
around the return of her daughter.

Persephone can live above ground for
nine months of the year but for the other three,
she must accept her kidnapper as her husband
and live with him in the underworld.

The resonance of this myth is strong at this New Moon
and will be particularly apparent in the dynamics
between opposing parties.

As Jupiter completes its transit through Aries over the next few months,
expect partisan conflicts to increase as opposing factions
attempt to implement what they believe to be right.

Negotiation will be required and is also
problematic.

Is compromise possible when both parties know they are right
and the other is absolutely wrong?



And, what are the unexpected consequences?
