Here’s a true cosmic encounter from astrologer Lynn Hayes.
***
Jupiter and Chiron reached their exact conjunction on Wednesday (July 23) for their second time in this cycle, just as it was discovered that a huge body in space slammed into Jupiter, giving it a bruise “as big as the Pacific ocean.” Chiron of course is known as the “Wounded Healer,” and the synchronicity of the wound to Jupiter becoming known to us here on Earth as Jupiter conjoined Chiron is an interesting one. Those two are within a degree of an exact conjunction to Neptune as well, and the Triple Conjunction is still very much in force.
Jupiter in astrological symbolism represents the field of unlimited possibilities, but it also has to do with our formulation of a sense of meaning in life. If we look back to the 1994 collision of the comet with Jupiter, we can see that this time period created drastic changes in the way we constructed our belief of the meaning of reality. Perhaps we are on the verge now of another big breakthrough of consciousness. Or perhaps it was just another space collision.
Thanks for this post! I've been very aware of this 12 year journey in my own life and how it is a series of events that I only know where "breakthroughs" in retrospect. It's taught me to really pay attention, now. 🙂
Wow, Ray. Send me the particulars of her birth. Date, exact time, place. I'd like to take a look @ her birth chart. A new moon baby is always a joy to behold!

I wonder if this conjunction had anything to the birth of my great granddaughter Alexis at 3:23 AM the morning of July 23, almost two weeks early, the day after the New Moon of July 22.

I prefer to think it is a new breakthrough.
All collisions eventually lead to breakthroughs. Take a look at our own existence for instance—the whole evolutionary process that has brought us to this point – from single cell amoeba to homo Sapien Sapien is via a long history of ‘collisions’ within our environment that enabled better surviving ‘mutants’ to pass on their genetic ‘quirk’ with greater abundance.
We humans are interesting in that our brains enable us to interact with Nature in a profound way … for instance, vehicle collisions create in us the desire to protect our families and selves better—thus air bags, seat belts, engines and front ends designed to ‘crumple’ at intricate points, etc.
Perhaps the Noah`s Ark story really happened to some degree, but the artist in me understands the imagery that offers a lesson for the future—in humans is evolved the potential to guard life and the world as we know it from an inevitable greater collision. Our view on the cosmos today enables us to see the crater pitted moon brought about by asteroids/meteorites; the asteroid 'bruising' of Jupiter is yet another call to arms –"there by the grace of God … oh and Goddess, go we". So given this, I know that we will eventually do all that it takes to sheild ourselves.
Symbolic of a paradigm shift?
