All this talk of 2012 (no, the world isn’t ending! Cut it out you melodramatics!) has a lot of us wondering about what’s to come. Myself included (except, ya know, as an astrologer, I have the perks of just looking up the themes and not wondering anymore :-p)

Well, here’s one of the key themes, coming to the fore:

Chiron’s energy filtered into Pisces allows us (collectively, notwithstanding how it’d act in each individual’s personal chart) to heal ourselves and others via practicing transcendence, deep compassion, and creativity, which expands our awareness beyond the ego’s reach.

All this, while navigating around a tendency to play (or become) the victim or martyr, or engage in unhealthy escapism (especially via substance abuse… a bigger no-no then usual these days).

Chiron in Pisces can do WONDERS in terms of healing the spirit and reconnecting with the greater whole.

Chiron’s transit of Pisces can draw out the compassionate nature of our society and breach many of the divides that apathy and ego have built up.

People and societal branches that most rely on such apathy to continue their ways of life, are very likely to get a wake-up call or 10.

There is no disconnecting from the greater whole, from the fact that what we do affects others, and Chiron in Pisces is likely to serve up some major reminders of this over the next 7 years.

That’s where the possible themes of victim-hood, martyrdom or escapist can come into play and be especially troublesome.

Acute sensitivity (shame, guilt, pain) is not something one can hide from, and wearing your own suffering as a cloak only keeps you suffering longer. The keys to our own healing, which Chiron in Pisces tries to make us aware of enough to grasp, is TRANSCENDENCE!

As Ghandi said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”. Whatever you feel you lack, try giving to another… you’ll find that you always have more then you thought you did.

Just make extra sure that whatever compassionate service to others is being undertaken, it does not go overboard and turn you into one of the victims as well…

as they say, throw a drowning person a rope, but do not jump in where you will also drown.

Within these next 7 years, whatever happens, consider adapting this quote as your personal mantra:

“I am only one; but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
I will not refuse to do something I can do.”
– Helen Keller

There is nothing to fear, only things to understand.
