Astrology Today: November 8, 2012 – Emotional Intelligence
“All these lines across my face tell you the story of who I am, so many stories of where I’ve been and how I’ve got to where I am. But these stories don’t mean anything when you’ve got no one to tell them to. It’s true… I was made for you.”
–Brandi Carlile, “The Story”
Thursday morning the Moon in Mercury-ruled Virgo squares retrograde Mercury and opposes Chiron, forming a t-square. Take care that your communications come from a need to improve on matters in a healing way and not from the pain of your primal damage. Neptune conjuncts Chiron long term and this can foster illusions about our primal damage or the inability to see it for what it is.
Mercury retrograde in this position brings the challenge to change the perception and rethink this damage while really scrutinizing the best way to ground and organize and get right in the heart for genuine satisfaction. The morning’s Moon also sextiles Saturn, forming a yod with Uranus. The Moon trines Pluto as well. Depth of feeling, earthy feeling, aids in recognizing the opportunity to structure for innovation.
Venus in Libra trines Jupiter and sextiles Juno. The general aesthetic favors commitment and it is a good time to take note of what is pleasant about your relationships and drum up some gratitude and interest in keeping them up.
By evening the Moon squares the Juno-Jupiter opposition, sextiling the Scorpio Sun (which quincunxes Jupiter). Ego and emotional drives align to evaluate the polarity of commitment versus freedom. Pallas Athena in Pisces square Mars in Sagittarius. There’s a challenge to integrate your grasp of the pattern in the collective and how you will make it personal to act upon it. It’s not necessarily the time to act but the time to assess what is truly going on and how it affects you as an individual.

Love this, O Wise Sage Satori! 
<3
Thank you, Satori and Heyfa. I’d like to echo Heyfa’s words – “focus on healing my wounds, instead of letting pain get the better of me.” Needed to read that right now, and do that.
A satori I’m going to see Brandi this Friday in concert o
In LA.
Agree that pain is no fun.
I don’t know if I can keep a couple of them there relationships up though. The scale is way too hard to balance. I got into them during the ‘plagued and pestilenced’ years. That would prove the power of attraction. 
I think it’s perfectly appropriate to move on from relationships that no are longer supported in your current life. In fact, the coming full moon eclipse with Mars-Pluto sextile Venus-Saturn looks prime for this. you’d think the scorpio sun would be ideal, but the sun in Sadge during that lunation seems pretty good for roaming to new pastures.
Hey, I am new here and evolving. Please forgive my ignorance, but what does “pattern in the collective” mean? Thanks.
welcome, Tracey! pattern relates to Pallas Athena being whole pattern intelligence and “in the collective” refers to its presence in Pisces with Pisces being the way in which we are connected on a higher level (collective consciousness, spiritually).

Thank you for the advice Satori. I’ll focus on healing whatever wounds I have instead of letting pain get the better of me.
I definitely feel like I’m in much better shape now compared to the end of September.
