Summer's Chiron in Taurus Preview
Purging the Synthetics
I’ve spent the last few weeks staring at screens, trying to force my brain to learn the performative logic of successful video shorts for Instagram. I just hate the way that sounds, so synthetic. Even though I can technically pull it off, it’s a process that feels like a rat race and out of my comfort zone. It’s exhausting, honestly. It feels like a microcosm of what we’ve all been doing since 2018: overriding our bodily rhythms to keep up with a hyped-up digital world, just all of the stupid social media crap.
It was right in the middle of that when I really started to ponder Chiron’s upcoming shift into Taurus. Right now, Chiron sits at 29 Aries 49 minutes perched on the precipice of Taurus. On June 19th, it’s going to make its first temporary dip into the bull’s territory (see ingress chart at the end of his post). It will go back into Aries to clean up the show. Then in April 2027 it moves on more permanently into Taurus. Chiron has been in Aries since 2018, and boy, haven’t we all changed a lot since then?
Chiron was discovered in 1977 while in the sign of Taurus and so we are entering a time when collectively, humanity will experience our first consciously-experienced Chiron return. Old systems that focus on accumulation of wealth have proven simply unsustainable. The issue of the cost of living and the worth of things and the connection to the value of human life (global infertility) could remain a very big topic in the time ahead.
Chiron here can bring about increased awareness and clarity, making the healing that needs to be done more obvious, specifically around the wealth divide, resource distribution, and collective perceptions of value. Taurus relates to the reproductive organs. Chiron here is not so subtly suggesting that we heal the Earth and heal our bodies, that we put a higher value on human life and human fertility.
The Chiron timeline:
June 19, 2026: Chiron’s initial ingress into Taurus (the summer preview begins in a few days as I write this and only lasts through the summer, see the chart at end of this post).
August 3, 2026: Chiron Stations retrograde at 0 Taurus.
September 17, 2026: Chiron retrogrades back into Aries for a final clean-up of the past eight years.
April 2027 – 2034: Chiron in Taurus for the long haul. (Note: In the chart of Chiron’s Discovery, Chiron sat at 3 Taurus. Chiron will makes 3 hits to that point:
June 7, 2027, October 6, 2027, and April 5, 2028.)
Last night I watched the documentary, The Plastic Detox on Netflix. Add it to your watch list. (And yes, it relates to Chiron in Taurus.)
Dr. Shanna Swan, a fertility researcher, takes six couples who are trying to conceive and puts them on a plastics detox protocol. The team of researchers completely overhauled their homes, eliminating plastic food storage, synthetic cookware, plastic-wrapped foods, and personal care products containing phthalates and bisphenols.
They then followed the biometrics of all the couples, like the male’s sperm count, the female’s egg quality and overall fertility markers. The results were convincing. Every husband had an increase in sperm count after the period of plastics detox; some were more dramatic. Three of the six couples were able to conceive after long periods of infertility. All reported feeling better, sleeping better, increased mental clarity, and increased energy. Do people forget that plastics are made from petroleum?
Collectively we will have to face the toxic reality and the human and ecological cost of all of our plastic conveniences. We need a break from it. The Earth itself needs a break and a detox. Maybe the interruption of the flow of oil from the Middle East will help bring about a PLASTICS DETOX for the next seven years, wouldn’t that be nice!? (I know, I know, can you let a girl dream at least can’t you?) But, it’s like the old saying, “When you know better, you do better.” This whole thing reminds me of the tobacco industry and the things that the establishment knew for a long time, but kept the public in the dark to keep the profits rolling in.
Chironic healing starts with reclaiming the sacred worth of our own bodies. Systemic corporate greed and destruction can be brought into the light and faced in new ways through smart problem-solving, inventiveness and curiosity and a desire for collective fertility and well-being. We can’t dream our way out of the toxic consequences, but we can start making different choices right now in our own “duckponds.”
…. Sorry, I need to go clean out my kitchen now.
