Profound Healing Energy

I do know it is a general feeling among many, feeling the need of releasing old wounds, whether it is this life or some other lifetimes. With Aphrodite Presence, her loving energy, was much needed. In astrological alignment, we will have Chiron (the wounded healer) and the North Node in Aries (the node of Fate) conjunct on 19th Feb. The healing of Karmic trauma is already here, as Chiron has been in Aries since Feb 2019, much healing has already been done. With the North Node entered in Aries last July in 2023, we are not experiencing the apex of this healing energy.

Nodes Axis in Aries and Libra
On 17th July last year, when the Nodes Axis transited into Aries and Libra.
The nodal axis shifting signs is a crucial point for personal and societal evolution. A period where the collective focus is on healing our Karma past with Libran qualities and embracing Arian qualities for growth and development. The South Node in Libra is asking us to release past Karma or traits that no longer serve us, such as too much dependance on other people as Libra represents the We in out zodiac sign. While the North Node in Aries on the other hand, is helping us to
To prepare us, we can look at the conjunction of Chiron and North Node on the 19th February in Aries. This extraordinary powerful energy of Chiron, the Wounded Healer connects with the North Node of fate. This energy can help us to heal conflicts in the world and in our life.
Chiron, the “wounded healer”, representing the journey of healing through acknowledging and addressing our wounds. It symbolizes the healing journey, often connected with deep wounds or vulnerabilities that, when acknowledged and worked through, can lead to personal transformation.
The North Node, on the other hand, is a point in the astrological chart that signifies the path of growth and evolution for an individual. Represents the direction of growth and development, indicating the qualities and experiences an individual is encouraged to embrace for their spiritual evolution.
When these two come into conjunction, it suggests a period of significant self-discovery, healing, and alignment with one’s life purpose. The fact that this conjunction is occurring in Aries adds another layer to the interpretation, as Aries is associated with individuality, assertiveness, and initiation. An energetic and assertive sign, encouraging us to take initiative, be independent, and to build new paths.
It is a time for confronting and healing personal wounds, especially those related to self-identity, assertiveness, and taking charge of one’s life. It could be an opportunity to align more closely with one’s authentic self and life purpose, as both Chiron and the North Node are associated with personal growth, healing, and the life path.

Aphrodite.
Aphrodite, ancient Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty, identified with Venus by the Romans.
APHRODITE was the Olympian goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation. She was depicted as a beautiful woman often accompanied by the winged godling Eros (Love). Her attributes included a dove, apple, scallop shell and mirror. In classical sculpture and fresco she was usually depicted nude.
MYTHS
Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and desire, stands as one of the most captivating and influential deities in ancient Greek mythology. Her origins though, are shrouded in mystery.
According to Hesiod’s THEOGONY, she emerged from the sea foam in the waters of Paphos, on the island of Cyprus, born from the severed genitals of Uranus. She supposedly arose from the foam when THE TITAN CRONUS (Saturn) slew his father Uranus and threw his genitals into the sea.
However, according to Homer, in Iliad, Aphrodite may instead be the daughter of ZEUS (Jupiter) and Dione. As with so many Greek deities, there are many stories about the origins of the gods.
Many gods believed that her beauty was such that their rivalry over her would spark a war of the gods. Because of this, Zeus married Aphrodite to HEPHAESTUS (Vulcan) the god of craftsmanship. He wasn’t seen as a threat because of his ugliness and deformity.
In Book VIII of the Odyssey, Aphrodite was mismatched with Hephaestus, the lame smith god, and she consequently spent her time philandering with the handsome god of war, Ares (Mars), (by whom she became the mother of Harmonia, the warrior twins Phobos and Deimos, and Eros, the god of love).
Her close association with Eros, the Graces (Charites), and the Horae (Seasons) emphasized her role as a promoter of fertility. She was honoured by the Roman poet Lucretius as Genetrix, the creative element in the world. Her epithets Urania (Heavenly Dweller) and Pandemos (Of All the People) were ironically taken by the philosopher Plato (in the Symposium) to refer to intellectual and common love; rather, the title Urania was honorific and applied to certain Asian deities, while Pandemos referred to her standing within the city-state. Among her symbols were the dove, pomegranate, swan, and myrtle.
Aphrodite’s most known Children
Across the various myths and legends, Aphrodite had at least 16 children, with many different partners. Here’s a selection of some of the most notable.
Eros (Cupid)
Born from Aphrodite’s union with Ares, Eros (also known later by the Romans as Cupid), is the god of love and desire. Often depicted as a mischievous, winged child, Eros wields a bow and arrows, which he uses on both gods and mortals. When struck by his arrows, Eros could control the emotions of his targets, leading to various romantic entanglements and conflicts in Greek myths.
Harmonia
Harmonia, born to Aphrodite and Ares, is the goddess of harmony and concord. In stark contrast to her brothers, her role in mythology is to create balance and peace, often symbolizing the harmonious union of opposites. She is famously known for her unhappy marriage to Cadmus, the founder of THEBES, which was marked by tragedy and transformation.
She was the mother of Hermaphroditus by HERMES (Mercury)
Myths Surrounding Aphrodite
The Judgement of Paris and the Trojan War
Aphrodite had a large role in the events leading to the Trojan War, through the Judgement of Paris. When Eris throw the Golden apple inscribed “To the fairest.” to the banquet where she wasn’t invited. Aphrodite, along with Hera and ATHENA, asked Zeus to judge the contest, but he refused. Paris, son of the King of Troy, judged the contest instead. Each of the three goddesses promised him something in return; Aphrodite promised him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Sparta. He chose Aphrodite as the winner of the apple.
This story of the Judgment of Paris was considered to be the real reason behind the TROJAN WAR. Once the war was underway, she fought on the side of Paris. Aphrodite rescued Paris from Menelaus by enveloping him in a cloud and taking him back to Troy.
Of Aphrodite’s mortal lovers, the most important were the Trojan shepherd Anchises, and the handsome youth Adonis. Adonis was killed by a boar while hunting and was lamented by women at the festival of Adonia.
The myth of Aphrodite and Adonis is one of love and tragedy. Adonis, a mortal of great beauty, attracted Aphrodite’s love. She saw him when he was born and determined then that he should be hers. She assigned Persephone to his care, but Persephone fell in love with Adonis also and would not give him back. Finally, Zeus had to mediate. He judged that Adonis should spend half the year with each.
However, he was fatally gored by a wild boar, leading to his death. Aphrodite was overcome with grief, and from Adonis’ blood sprang the anemone flower, symbolizing the fleeting nature of beauty and life.
