The days of keeping things breezy to sidestep anything emotionally uncomfortable are officially numbered. Today, “wounded healer” Chiron kicks off a five-month retrograde in sensual Taurus and your eighth house of secrets and transformation, before retreating into Aries and your seventh house of partnerships from September 17 to January 6. Old wounds, betrayals and feelings you thought you’d moved past may resurface during this cycle demanding attention. This is prime time to start therapy, deepen an existing practice or commit to a meaningful spiritual path.
