Chiron in Aries: The Global Call to Heal the Self and Humanity
Synopsis Chiron in Aries: Chiron is often referred to as the 'Wounded Healer' in astrology. It represents deep emotional pain both in a personal and social context and the possibility for change and healing by confronting them. Chiron's positioning in Aries as the self and full of gallantry brings to the fore age-old distressing issues regarding self-acceptance, autonomy, and personal agency. ET Online Chiron in Aries calls for deep personal and global healing. Think of a splinter that's been stuck under your skin for so long that it doesn't bother you until you inadvertently knock against it. That rush of pain, suddenly demanding your focus, is what Chiron in Aries feels like. Chiron is both an asteroid and a comet, and in astrology it holds a particular significance. It is symbolic of a centaur in Greek mythology, Chiron, who was a master healer and teacher, despite having an unhealable wound. In astrology, Chiron indicates areas in our lives we feel acute pain, often areas from childhood and sometimes from shared trauma. However, these are also the regions we hold the potential to heal in great measures, be it for ourselves and for others. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and it is bold, fiery, self-starting and concerned with identity and action. Chiron's transits through Aries from 2018 to 2027 are underlined by a deep and sometimes harsh exposure of our inner and outer wounds regarding identity, our innate right to exist, and the fortitude demanded to claim space within the world. Themes of this placement are currently active not only within individual lives but also in the collective. We are being nudged, often harshly. When Chiron is placed in Aries, the wounds that show up are connected to: Lack of self-esteem: Perceived as not having the permission to claim the self. Assertion and independence: Fear of taking action, voicing thoughts, and standing alone. Anger: Either outbursts of apoplexy, or suppressing that anger suffers to doubting oneself. All these wounds run deep, and that's the issue with Chiron in Aries. Chiron is asking whether the native has the right to be unapologetically oneself. On a macro level, that is the surge towards self-determination, self-identity, self-equality, and self- freedom. In retaliation to the above, one sees the backlash, which is inflammatory resistance, and power struggle with the challenge of the established order. While it is easy to think that Chiron's influence is personal, it is the simultaneous mitigating fact that there is a 'we' in the 'us' that allows one to consider the fact that the issue is global as well. Thus, looking into it globally, there has been: Identity crises, denied and accepted borders and confrontational re-constructing of the national narratives. Increasing and rising activism with the so-called single individuals fighting the age old systems. Conflict of disputed self autonomy ranging from physical autonomy right to self expression and cultural requires discomfort to heal, including our wounds. Healing requires that certain pains be endured to receive the ultimate reprieve, acceptance, and, most importantly, healing. Having Chiron in Aries means that the sensitive spots that have accumulated due to harsh criticism, 'too much' and 'not enough' remarks, and internalized rejection starts pulling away. 'Healing' in one's personal life can also mean feeling criticism and needing to shoulder unbearable humiliation. There is also discontentment on the collective level. Society is currently in a state of unrest characterized by heated arguments, division, and a stark contradiction of alternating demand for autonomy and oneness. The 'sting' is the unresolved discomfort of the Chiron healing theme that we collectively endure. Turning 'the wound into strength' means one can heal by identifying the wounds that need healing. It's transformative because self assertion can indeed lead to the realization of who is healing and who is not. 'Healing' wounds on a personal level means honoring one's pains which can be painful, but profoundly liberating. To sitting wounds, Chiron's gifts means the pain can need to be embraced, and medicine can be created out of it. In the current day, Chiron in Aries, the energies can be worked with easily. In realization and acceptance, the wounds can be faced without escaping, and by identifying the insecurities, closure is possible. The fearsome anger that Aries energy on the colloquial level can be impulsive, aggressive, and wild, but also liberating. It can be self soothing when employing positive self-assertive techniques without in Aries is part of a much larger astrological narrative on global humanity's growth. Addressing the ramifications of the pandemic there's a pressing need to rethink our character on the face of the earth. It is a period of transcendental humanism with a global span. It would call upon human strengths to work without boundaries of sympathy, humanity, ingenuity, and holistic creativity. Chiron in Aries is raw and intense social mores keep bringing existential issues to the fore. People's minds are saturated with questions: who are we, and what do we need to do for humanity's holistic growth and existential healing. There's intense cognitive energy with questions surrounding identity with humanity goals, gain, loss, and metamorphoses. Healing is a must and choice is a person's prerogative.

New Covid ‘Stratus' variant now the third most common in US: Symptoms, spread and response
Covid cases growing in most states Live Events 'Stratus' variant becomes more prominent WHO risk assessment and vaccine effectiveness Covid 'Stratus' variant: Symptoms and public advice Concerns over vaccine policy changes (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The United States is seeing a rise in Covid-19 activity, with the sharpest increases recorded in the west. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that nationwide wastewater virus levels have climbed from 'low' to 'moderate' in the past highest readings are concentrated in Alaska, California, Colorado, Nevada and Utah, all classified as 'high'. Louisiana leads in the southeast, where levels are also elevated.'Wastewater monitoring can detect viruses spreading from one person to another within a community earlier than clinical testing and before people who are sick go to their doctor or hospital,' the CDC says. 'It can also detect infections without symptoms. If you see increased wastewater viral activity levels, it might indicate that there is a higher risk of infection.'Wastewater surveillance is being used as an early-warning system for new waves, with California's own data now showing higher levels than during last winter's of Tuesday, the CDC estimates cases are rising or likely rising in 45 states, up from 40 last week. Only Alaska, North Dakota, Maine and New Hampshire showed no change. Wyoming's trend was not the pace of increase is slower than in past surges, health officials say immunity from previous infections and vaccinations varies widely, making it hard to predict how severe the current wave could XFG variant, nicknamed 'Stratus,' is now the third most common strain in the US this summer. First detected in Southeast Asia in January, it went largely unnoticed in America until May. By late June it accounted for 14 per cent of cases, behind NB.1.8.1 and is a combination of the F.7 and LP.8.1.2 variants, the latter being the second most prevalent in the country. It carries mutations that may help it evade immune defences, though scientists say it is less likely to be highly contagious than other dominant strains.'There is currently no clear evidence that XFG causes more severe disease or significantly different symptoms than earlier Omicron variants,' said Subhash Verma, professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Nevada, Reno. 'Importantly, there are no immediate public health concerns associated with this variant.'In June, the World Health Organization placed XFG on its watchlist but rated its global public health risk as low. 'Currently approved COVID-19 vaccines are expected to remain effective to this variant against symptomatic and severe disease,' the WHO said in its June CDC's shift to longer reporting timeframes is partly due to lower data submissions from states, which means the real spread may be higher than official CDC lists the common Covid-19 symptoms as fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, congestion, loss of taste or smell, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, nausea or vomiting. Hoarseness has been reported anecdotally with XFG, though there is no confirmed are advised to seek urgent medical attention for breathing difficulties, persistent chest pain, confusion, inability to wake, or changes in skin colour such as pale, grey or blue lips and nail increase in cases comes shortly after the US Department of Health and Human Services announced it will terminate 22 federal contracts for mRNA-based vaccines. The move has sparked debate about the future of a technology credited with saving millions of lives during the a CBS interview in July, physician Jon LaPook said the pattern of rising summer cases is now familiar. 'We now know that there's a winter spike and then there's a summer spike,' he said. 'And every year, the number of deaths, the number of hospitalisations, is gradually going down each season. So that's the good news.'However, experts say it is still too soon to tell how big the late-summer wave will be, especially with changes to vaccine recommendations and varying levels of immunity across the population.
