Chariklo Full Moon: Return of emotional integrity

 

Today’s Full Moon [1aq] is conjunct the centaur Chariklo [1aq]. Before delving into the astrology of the Full Moon, readers may like to acquaint themselves with the mythology of Chiron and Chariklo as explained by Kelly Hunter [1]. 

She joined Chiron in his life and knew that she had found another wisdom, the wisdom of love, finding in her heart’s desire how to reshape herself into whatever best served true love. 

The following extract from Philip Sedgwick’s Soul of the Sky delineates the function of the astrological centaur Chariklo. 

Long before the naming of Chariklo, I dubbed this centaur the ruler of boundaries. With a Libran perihelion  on the soul mate motivated Super Galactic Center black hole added to an early Aquarian node, she contains an almost cruel need for balance of personal autonomy within interaction. How can one sustain individuality as required by Aquarius, within the framework of an intimate, interpersonal soul-mated relationship, so sought by the essence of Libra? 

The most compelling point of Chariklo is that she serves modern day society by reexamining the issue of boundaries. A potential step toward resolution lies in a simple realization. There exist two primal boundaries. The Libra boundary is social, physically close and emotionally based. The actual boundary makes the inner energy field surrounding the physical being extending only inches outside the flesh. For a person to enter this zone, intimate space is engaged. 

The Aquarian boundary is more energy based and of an essential spirit-driven nature. The attraction is mental or spiritual. True, it is possible to be physically drawn to a person with no energetic or spiritual alignment. Of course, pursuing such interactions blows energy fuses. Often this becomes the crux of crisis. Nature says yes. Spirit says no. A contradictory energy goes into the ethers. Ultimately, physical forces tend to prevail.  

The alignment of personal, intimate needs with the well-being of the soul and the energy required to thrive in life, resolves Chariklo dilemmas. And Chariklo graciously offers her healing ways to take you into the depths of your own oceans of consciousness. In this, expect your real desires to emerge - not just the ones appearing acceptable to the rest of the world - but the urges that really churn the pistons of your energetic engine. 

Chariklo moves  between Saturn and Uranus but not cutting through either of their orbits: gracefully touching each of this pair of opposites, embodying their synthesis and integration. Inviting the new while respecting the old. She is a midwife. Literally, as in physical birth and death, or metaphorically when we 'die' to an old identity or way of life and enter a profound transition. 

With the Full Moon [ 1 aq] conjunct Chariklo and the Jupiter/Cupido midpoint new opportunities for relationship may arise for those open to a second chance (FM square the TNO Rhadamanthus[2sc]) at claiming emotional integrity.
