The Story of Eris and Her Planetary Alignments
Chiron in Aries Healing the Wounds of Injustice
I find myself having a completed a long Pluto Journey, still in a dance with Chiron over my Venus in Aries most of this year. I am feeling The Chironic Healing gifts as I continue to navigate all the ways I am finding that I am now better able to say NO to ways that are disempowering and take a healthy stand for myself. I am also noting how I am feeling about myself and the circumstances of the world that surround me giving myself permission to feel the grief, the loss, the anger, the rage and the uncertainity that scares me.
This also includes saying YES to what lights me up and is adding to the alchemy already changing my life in wonderfully empowering ways.
I share this – as my hope is everyone seeing this is recognizing the alchemy present within your life, even though it may require you letting go of an old identity, a way of being, a kind of work you have done for a long time – maybe even decades – a relationship and/or way of relating, or something else, the empowerment on the other side is so worth it!
Especially once you get through the grief. Pluto and Chiron does ask us to be with our grief so we can move through it and not just repress or suppress it but rather heal from the inside out. I am still in that process and am wiling to take the time it takes.
Meanwhile Peter and I are about to celebrate our 19 year wedding anniversary on Oct 22 having been in our Nodal Return on our marriage chart and about we will have a Sun Moon return on our Anniversay. Everyday we are celebrating how much we love sharing our growing love and appreciation for what we are co-creating. It is so Libra, healthy, inspired Libra….
Many have found our story to be inspiring so… Here is a link to the our Secret Wedding and why we got married when Venus and Mars were with the Sun in 2006. Our intention has magically worked better than we ever imagined. https://cayelincastell.com/sacred-union/

I shared this quote in 2023 and am feeling inspired to do so again as it may help us understand what in the world is going on now.
or just perverse and strange addictions,
come from environments where life is so abusive,
dysfunctional and constrictive, and the level of Fear is so great,
that they spawn this same rage and anger or perversion over and over,
generation after generation.
The individuals who are born into these situations
choose to do so on purpose, with clarity…
because they were sure they had enough strength to break out,
to end the cycle, to heal the family system in which they would be born.
They were confident that they could awaken
and work through the resentment and anger
at finding themselves in these deprived circumstances,
and see it all as a preparation for a mission—
usually one of helping others out of similar situations…
The Tenth Insight by James Redfield
One of the gifts of attuning to the intent of our natal chart is how it reflects or shows the power of intention and the choice to end the cycles of abuse and dysfunction by choosing family and social conditions that are entrenched in old limiting and abusive patterns. When these patterns are transformed then new healthy energies can grow. In essence, it has the power to change everything going forward. This is the Alchemy of Chiron and Eris and of course Pluto too. First by experiencing the disempowered patterns and then transforming them.
It is time to remember why we are here and why we have chosen the circumstances we have, forgiving ourselves and those involved.
This is especially true when we consider the current transit of the Shamanic Healer Chiron through Aries (archetypally linked with restoring cosmic justice) meeting with Eris for the Second time this year on October 8 just 2 days after the Aries Full Moon (see video below) and the Shamanic Powerhouse Pluto in Aquarius transforming the old structures of our external reality that are punishing, shaming, and operating within the restrictive and limiting rules of the dominator culture.
Pluto in Aquarius offers us an additional opportunity to not only heal both the dysfunctional family and social systems we have inherited but to consciously create new healthy forms based in love and cooperation that will not only sustain life on this planet but will support a thriving experience for all.

Sun Enters Scoprio
Oct 22, 2025. Sun enters Scorpio at 8:50 pm PDT activating the mysteries of death and rebirth, regeneration and the mysteries of edgewalking until Nov 22 when the Sun enters Sagittarius.
What exactly is edgewalking? William Irwin Thompson describes edges as the place where things change, grow and evolve in his book The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light.
New growth appears on the edges of branches and stems so hanging out on the edges is where growth happens.
It does take courage and an ability to trust the process to be a successful Edgewalker – to be willing to die to the old and willing to explore beyond the edges of what is known and what is familiar. It also requires the release of attachments to what has been and embracing what is becoming birthing into the power and magic of who we truly are.
October 31, Thursday. Eve of All Saint’s Day – Halloween a.k.a Hallowmas or All Hallows Eve. Hallow in middle English means holy and Halloween means hallowed evening or Holy Night. There was a time when Halloween was not a set date on the Calendar but rather it was celebrated on the Full Moon nearest the exact astrological cross-quarter when the Sun reaches 15 Scorpio now occurring on November 7.
In Celtic traditions this time was known as Samhain (pronounced sow-in…sow is the same as wow) and was their New Year celebration. The cross-quarter between the Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice is when the veil between the worlds is thinnest.
Usually this is thought of as the veil between the living and the dead, however, more and more people are experiencing this as the veil between alternate realities and timelines. Approaching this holy time with reverence and clear intent is highly recommended.
