Love your drawing and the story behind it! So many of us have done this - somewhere during the growing up process we stop doing the things we did so naturally as children with so much pleasure in favor of more “serious” or “practical” pursuits. I really appreciate your Chiron connection.

thanks Cami. Yeah, it's definitely a part of getting older; to retrieve those lost parts of ourselves. Chiron and the nodes are helpful reminders of this imo.

It seems to me that one must often go through Chiron to reach the promise of the Sun and that relationship between the two--maybe even by sign(and any other planets involved) points to the path. The nodes must be part of that dynamic too. What old narrative must be integrated perhaps even via Chiron in order to be able to write a new one and live the promise of the Sun? Of course any other planet or asteroid can be part of that story but if each of us is a bridge between heaven and earth (as I see it), our unique work here (and our unique joy) is to somehow bring all of these elements into a kind of dance. The image that comes to me is of a skilled weaver at the loom--the way the shuttle moves almost of it's own accord and the pattern forms as if by magic.

Wow! This is a beautiful piece of writing. I didn't know about the connection between Chiron and the Linden tree. I have Mercury/Chiron conjunct, trine my Moon, & I live on a block lined with linden trees... I also have a very deep mother wound.

Pretty much, lol! Last year, I gathered the blossoms for herbal infusions, but this year I didn't have the energy for picking. They smell so beautiful!

Thank you for this... it's a good reminder to remember Chiron's influence this Mercury Rx. I love you are rediscovering your drawing and sketching craft... those habits tend to unlock creativity in us in other ways as we re-encounter and embrace them. Thanks for sharing your astro-wisdom with us and for the Linden tree reference. I love tree-lore!

I can see that...with your name. Thanks for the kind words. And yeah, the visual component of art does help to sync in the rest. I'm enjoying watching that part of the process happen.

Oh wait! I just noticed my Sagittarius Sun makes a grand trine with Chiron and Mercury. Yay ⭐️

Wow. This brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for enlightening me on this about the Linden tree!!! Chiron in the 4th and actually broke both arms at the same time climbing a tree at 6. Your artwork is beautiful! I am in awe and really inspired.🙏🏼🪷
