Talk Cosmos 05-03-26 Mars Chiron 28° Aries

Join us on Talk Cosmos, Sunday 3 MAY 2026, 1–2 p.m. PDT (4-5 p.m. EDT) for an inquisitive discussion on “Mars Chiron 28° Aries”. Relocated to Seattle, Astrologer Tara Aal returns to join host Sue 'Rose' Minahan and panel member Dr. Laura Tadd. Chiron: The Wounded Healer:  Chiron's 50½-year orbit marks a profound rite of passage — a reckoning with our deepest wounds and the wisdom they carry. In myth, Chiron was abandoned at birth, raised by Apollo, and became a Master Healer — yet was struck by a poison arrow he himself had taught others to make. Unable to heal his own wound, he surrendered his immortality to free Prometheus. Zeus immortalized him among the stars. The wound that cannot be cured becomes our greatest gift by sharing our experienced wisdom in service with others. Chiron's 8-year transit through Aries touches on identity at its most primal — the becoming of selfhood, the right to exist as we are. Wounds here often begin at birth itself. Globally, the question echoes: Who belongs? What is a nation's true identity? The December 21, 2025, square with Jupiter in Cancer drew us back to our earliest roots — childhood, family, ‘belonging’. The energies asked how those old wounds shaped who we believe ourselves to be. May 16th, 2026, Aries ruler Mars conjuncts Chiron at 28° Aries. As Chiron’s 8-year transit in Aries nears its completion, this meeting falls on the Taurus New Moon. Mars empowers our will, while Taurus grounds us in emotional self-trust and self-reliance. The celestial sky map turns our focus inward: what parts of ourselves have we excluded, denied, or left wounded — and what would it mean to finally include them whole? By summer 2026, Jupiter enters Leo and Chiron moves into Taurus — an invitation to build something lasting from all that has been transformed. The wound is not the end of the story.
