Astrology for the Soul June 15, 2022

<p>I come to the mountains, forests and streams,<br> To connect with my heart and soul.<br> Sitting in silence under the Sun,<br> I know all that I need to know.<br> <br> There's always so much more to say! I'm trying to keep these short because I know you are busy, and I got feedback after that 1/2 hour one that it was just too long!

Conversely, this conjunction may bring up memories when our "overreacting" brought blame, shame, or pain to others. And let's not forget the opposite as that is what Chiron's wounds most often signify, UNDER acting, or failure to act or react when it was necessary, proper, and needed and we or others experienced pain as a result.</p> <p>The overdoing or underdoing symbolized by Chiron's placement in your birth chart and in transit is a result of what I will call "soul fragmentation," an aspect
