Today’s extended readings are based on the chart for the Scorpio Full Moon on Friday. From the article, sent separately:
Cogency in an Environment of Chaos
Mercury conjunct Chiron in the Full Moon chart emphasizes the need to seek some cogency in an environment of accelerating chaos. It’s available, if you want it. Seek and ye shall find. If you think you’re confused, perhaps ask what role the confusion serves. Usually it is a form of insulation from awareness. As long as you’re confused, you have an excuse to withdraw awareness rather than to raise it.
To confuse means to pull apart. Are you really pulled apart?
One last point to consider. Mercury and Chiron are conjunct Sphinx. So we have a new thing to confront: a mystery. People read mystery books and go to mystery (suspense) movies but I think actually, tend to hate actual mysteries.
