After the intensity of last week, Hidden Insights is happy to announce a tranquil and healing week ahead. The week begins with Mercury making a lovely trine to Chiron. Hidden Insights has not often discussed Chiron, as it is a minor celestial object with little effect on the daily routines of the world. However, this week it stations direct and makes an aspect with a planet in the same day. Chiron is known by astrologers as the wounded healer, and it rules acceptance, cleansing, creative solutions, and reunification.
As Chiron stations direct, it asks us to address internal psychological wounds, and for many, this will trigger painful memories that can now be addressed and healed with love and acceptance. As Mercury makes it’s trine to Chiron on the Sunday, 9 December, conversations about past emotional wounds will surface. Together, Mercury and Chiron also produce a cosmic healing voice that often brings songs, poems, kind words, and inspiring speeches that help us process pain. The powerful healing energy wraps the world in a blanket of care that will help many begin to work through internal suffering.
The gentle healing energy of the week continues as the Sun makes a semi-sextile to Pluto, and Mercury moves into Sagittarius. Family, friends, and neighbours become much more helpful, and a sense of community thrives. This is a great week for team building, as well as supporting charities that are looking to make a difference. Expect social and non-profit groups to make headlines.
The wonder of magick and miracles sweeps over the earth this weekend, as Venus touches Jupiter and Uranus makes a semi-square to Neptune.

As regular readers of Hidden Insights know, there are plenty of weeks with harsh aspects challenging the world. Take a moment this week to soothe the soul, and enjoy an optimistic worldview.
The themes for this week’s planetary energy are support and healing. Mercury and Chiron allow us to help others by drawing on our own experiences.
