Heliocentric sidereal Astrology – a “centered” central view – or the “observer view
17th of August 2024 Mercury at his most southern point at round 23° sidereal Capricorn
26th of August 2024 Hygiea meets Chiron in later sidereal Pisces
Hygiea meets Chiron at 25°25’4” sidereal Pisces
Both a little north of the ecliptic. Chiron is in descending phase of orbit and Hygiea in ascending phase of orbit.
They met last on 18th of September 2018 at 4°49’14” sidereal Pisces only a roughly 18 minutes apart in their northern latitude – as they were back then very close to the vernal point and above the Galactic South Pole, Earth was nearby already in sidereal Pisces too. They were engaged in many aspects as well – so, all in all, it was a very significant conjunction – one that connected many parts of life…
Their next conjunction will be on 1st of September 2030 in the middle of sidereal Aries – a 6 years cycle and “exploration” of the theme…
Our new conjunction takes place in a very different part of sidereal Pisces and constellation of Pisces – it’s like we have taken this a step further in the evolutionary sense…
The Players – Hygiea and Chiron
Hygiea is about “hygiene” as the name suggests – yet, there’s also an element of purity and “maintenance” included. She doesn’t work only on the bodily or manifested level – there’s the hygiene of thoughts and emotions as well – to cleanse, maintain a certain “state” and even “resilience” in this sense….

Chiron is called the “wounded healer” and he’s a Centaur with different lineage though. He knows about pain and knows about healing but to heal himself, he gave up his immortality (immortality here means “reincarnation” which was his “problem”) for the freedom of someone else and then got a space between the gods (eternal, freedom of choice). So, he’s about the sacrifice to self…. like what you do to others, you do to yourself BUT it’s also what you do to yourself, you do to others…. He also talks about the “loops” we take in life – sometimes we tend to repeat the same patterns, these make us feel “limited” and “unable” – that’s “his wound” and that’s what heals by recognizing it/awareness and acceptance …. He’s also of bridging energy as he’s not only a Centaur but a “half god”, connecting realms…
More about Chiron: https://www.faempowerment.com/chiron
After reading this, I think it’s most obvious how they’re “kindred” in spirit – yet, different… the communication plays a huge role as well, as we have seen with Mercury’s most southern point of orbit…
Chiron – loops – you see, whatever one may believe or not – we’re much more and much “older” in essence than we may think… we carry the Human evolutionary path within us, ancestors, lineage but also the so called “karmic” stuff and on top of this, all our experiences and conclusions we made in this now life…
We make “loops” of repetitive behavior in families, in societies, in countries and civilizations and in our very own individual lives – do we need to stay within that?? Well, no, we do not – there’s no obligation – we can step away from these things if we want to…
I talked about the mind, the abilities, the communication, other realms and what science finds out in very fast updates over the last years… and that includes many theories that we suddenly find “proven” within our very own lives and that’s scary at times – to throw out, what we have thought to know, or what we have told to be true is all shaken up…. Where and who and what am I, what is this all – may all be questions that once in a while come up…
Especially when we’re scared, anxious, unsure etc. we have the tendency to seek comfort in the “known”, in patterns we know etc.
Yet, we’re in “new times”, as something has “shifted” there are new possibilities open – fantasy and imagination as parts of our creativity is heightened and can be accessed by everybody and anybody. These are traits which got nothing to do with the “intelligence factors”, the logic and alike… it seems to be a “different realm” in this sense – yet, I also have written about the interesting, observable correlation of great novels and movies that after a while seem to become like true – opens the question of “what or who is creating”!!??
People who are “meditating” or enjoying silent moments in nature or anything alike know, that the world looks different, when we kind of go “out of the mind”, the chatter, the worries, and so on… it’s like an “altered state” of being, or maybe our actual “natural” state of being…
Therefore, we can realize, that we often go through “loops” in our minds that got nothing to do with the reality of things – they might be just “old companions”, something we know and feel “familiar” with and know of how to react to them because we know them….
The chart with details about the Hygiea – Chiron conjunction
Hygiea and Chiron (circled red) stand in a trine (120° angle) with Pallas far north in the constellation Ophiuchus.
Our pair stands not yet in orb of conjunction, yet, close to Eris and so I think, as both, Hygiea and Chiron are approaching Eris for conjunction it’s important….
Underlined orange, there’s Mercury approaching Neptune for conjunction under the head of the westward swimming fish of Pisces… Interesting to note – they stand almost where Hygiea and Chiron had their last conjunction…
Eris adds her theme of revelations, eye opening to “reality” etc. whereas Pallas is our “creative problem solver”, Mercury the communication and Neptune the clarity or the veil…
Pallas near her most northern point of orbit (in ca. 1 month – so stay tuned for that), she’s of great influence in a “north polar sense”/ awareness of the axis of rotation…
We may have some “issues”, problems or stuff we want to solve, that we’re kind of “rotating” around, trying to find a solution and maybe we already had ideas and tried but somehow it did just not work…
Yet, on what level have we tried!!?? – I know, I have stated that often – it’s said, that already Albert Einstein said, “you can’t solve a problem from the same state/view point as it was created in” (maybe not in this exact words, but similar)…
The mind is part of our communication system, so maybe it’s time, to let the mind explore on the “other side” of that veil, the known, the comfortable (not necessarily nice) and in this sense “sacrifice” those “old states of being” to gain not only some clarity but also to “purify” or “cleanse”….
I have written about this not so long ago, “sometimes less is more” – letting go of what isn’t serving anymore, or even building veils, blockages etc. … it’s cleansing, it’s liberating, it’s opening up space for health and wellbeing as well…
For example - people have had "miraculous recoveries" from extreme illnesses and they had literally "nothing left to lose" and that's exactly what kind of "healed" them... it's this "letting go" of the problem, to let go of wanting to apply a lot of power, to apply force... Besides, we have the power of the "nocebo effect" at hand and much more....
Yet, Chiron and Hygiea are not only talking about things directly related to physical health.
Therefore, remember – YOU are the most important one to yourself…

Mercury is the “god’s messenger” – he’s pretty fast, not only in the physical appearance in the sense of orbit or our mind but on all levels – the less “resistance” there is, the faster it goes…
Messaging means “communication” and therefore there’s “more than one” in this sense.
Hmmm – contains the question, of who we’re talking to when “thinking” or “pondering” about something and “who or what” does perceive or “hear” it!!??
Mercury 7° South at 23°15’27” Capricorn close to the star Marakk
Most southern means, we’re now “birthing”/root growing something we have seeded over the last few weeks – Mercury’s orbit is the shortest of all the planets with only 88 days, therefore a “quarter”/square of orbit only 22 days… Interestingly, his rotation around the own axis takes almost 59 days, so he makes 1,5 turns during one orbit – which gives us a 3 : 2 resonance in order for Mercury to “complete a turn” in full (means a sidereal day for Mercury is ca. 178 Earth days and a sidereal year for Mercury of ca. 176 Earth days) – this whole turn we do twice in one Earth year (2 x 178 = 356)…. This resonance we see in the “conjunction geometry” with Earth drawing very nice equilateral triangles, not “exactly” closing, allowing a spiral 😉
Mercury is not only the “fastest” of all planets but also goes the most south or north of the ecliptic compared with the other inner solar system planets (Mercury to Neptune excluding the bodies in the Asteroid belt, Centaurs etc.) – in astronomical terms, these most southern and northern points are called the “inclination” to the ecliptic (the Earth’s orbit – therefore in relation to Earth).
Our mind operates on various levels – it’s not only our “human or incarnate” parts (several), yet also the “divine” parts and often we’re in “resistance” to one or another at least partly…
This gives us the problem of “translation” – a postman/woman for example just drops the letter or package and leaves, he/she will not translate it, too busy to deliver to other recipients. Therefore, we have to open the mail (receive), read it and understand it (perceive)… very often though, we do not even know we “received mail” – yet, it’s there, it has been delivered – so where is it then….
The more we become aware of the “principles” at work, we can “relax”, sit down and read our mail… note – “emotions” are a “messenger system” as well…
The Chart with Details about Mercury most South
Mercury stands at the southern star Marakk of Capricorn.
He’s in longitude “flanked” by Chariklo on the right and the Earth/Moon system on the left. I find it interesting, that the 3 are forming like a little “triangle” and in some ways demonstrating their individuality and connection….
Mercury will join Earth in cuspal Aquarius just ca. 58 hours after his most southern time…
You can see, that Hygiea is already in conjunction time with Chiron – yet, it’s the type of you know it’s there but “not yet” as well…
You might remember reading, that this conjunction will be exact on the 26th.
Interestingly, Mercury will be with Neptune during that conjunction and then move to his Northnode where he arrives on the 5th of September….
Marakk – Zeta Capricorni – is a binary star system.
The “nowadays” prominent star is a yellow supergiant barium star, probably on the “Horizontal Branch” in the evolutionary path. Whereas the other one is a “carbon-oxygen” white dwarf with a hydrogen rich atmosphere.
Marakk (traditional, not confirmed name) got roughly 4,5 times the mass of our Sun, 29 times the radius and roughly 560 times the luminosity…
What is really interesting in this system is, that it seems the white dwarf to be the more evolved one of the Two – it might be, that the white dwarf had transferred mass to the now primary one in the past (roughly 3 million years ago)…
That inspires some thoughts – I mean, we often hear about “Cannibal stars” and one depleting the other but when looking at this system it seems more like a “parent” that does “nurse” a child – I also wonder, if there are systems that would “turn around” in the sense of once the A feeds B and then B feeds A and maybe ongoing… well – nope that part was not scientific, just my very own imagination 😉
---------------------------------
What I also find interesting is, that Chariklo travels here north of the ecliptic, through an area which is part of the constellation Aquarius – this is therefore the “shared region” of sidereal Capricorn – with the constellation of Capricorn (called Capricornus) on and south of the ecliptic and Aquarius north… Chariklo stands near Albulaan, Nu Aquarii…
The Earth/Moon system logically travels along the ecliptic and is even so, very close to sidereal Aquarius, still in sidereal Capricorn and the constellation Capricorn… near it’s Delta star Deneb Algedi.
Please note – Earth is about to oppose Vesta exactly and that means, in geocentric view, Vesta would be at solar conjunction or the Sun approaching Vesta would be the better wording…
That “little triangle” – Chariklo, Earth and Mercury…
Chariklo is a Centaur with a pretty circular orbit, yet quite some “interrupting” with her relatively high inclination (north and south) of the ecliptic. She’s the mythological wife of Chiron (they both orbit not too far of each other, between Saturn and Uranus). Chariklo talks about discernment of potentials as well as about “sacred spaces”…
When we take the Earth as our “home of incarnation”, grounding place, playground etc. and Mercury as already talked about before, about communication, the mind etc. – we may see here an interesting teamwork. As “collaboration” is also a theme of Mercury, it fits “double”. Yet, a collaboration and a triangle does not necessarily mean, it’s an easy one…
This triangle has a “narrow” base and long connecting lines to Chariklo, if we would also take the “depth” (distance) into count… So, it’s a deep thing that’s going on here – a “coming back home” to base, to oneself and discern from there, to be able to perceive the messages we’re given from a place we may commonly think of as being far, when in fact it’s just in the middle of ourselves or our “cores”…
Furthermore, there’s Earth – she’s around for quite a while, right under our feet – how many times did she change the face of the surface, how many species did she see coming and going – how many civilizations, societies and stories did she witness throughout her life… there’s a lot of wisdom we can gain from her or our very own journeys…
Every moment holds “something” and therefore every experience, every situation – if nice or not – transformation takes place when we’re able to perceive that “whatever something” and transcend it into wisdom…
Remember – a problem can’t be solved from the same basis as it was occurring from/in… and this wisdom can be applied to most everything I think….
While we’re going through something we don’t enjoy, is difficult, heartbreaking etc. we usually can’t see anything “good” within it – yet, if one “knows” from inside out, that there’s for sure a “reason”, something “hidden”, a message, then it might calm us at least a little ….
Often though, it can happen that the “message” isn’t from this “realm” in some ways – it might go deeper than what we could logically explain – yet, somehow, we’re still able to at least translate it for ourselves and that’s what counts…
As horrible as it may sound – you’re the most important one to yourself 😉
Much Love to you All,
Fran
