Neptune and Chiron form their exact conjunction tonight at 11:57 pm EST @ 26°14′ Aquarius.
This conjunction is applying in an exact square from my 8th house to my natal 5th house Neptune @ 26°10′ Scorpio.
I am so very tired today with little muscle strength and all of the other physical goodies that can come with Neptune transits.{{smiles just to be stubborn}}.
This has been a day filled with deep release.
Bittersweet emotions pour through me as my gaze sweeps back through the years to a time that I stepped fully and with free-will upon 
this path of self-healing.
I see myself there those many years ago with another woman beside me.
We parted company on that day, she and I.
I embarked on the path to the right.
She embarked on the one to the left.
Now here I am today, and as I look through the mists to where that woman has come to be, I can see how she has had a good life and a life of more ease in many ways, than I.
Yet I would ask of her is she truly fulfilled within?
Does she find her world a bore?
Does she crave knowing the feel of the stars upon her cheek?
Does she ever wonder what it would be like to just take a leap and go decisively into the void just for the sake of curiosity and simply because she can?
I ask of her these things for she was I, and I, was she.
Yet these two roads diverged upon the wood and I took the right and she took the left….
I know now, as I knew then, that I had chosen the path less traveled,
and more so now today then ever before,
I hope that ages and ages hence, I sigh and know, it made all of the difference.
With Love, Kachina

The Road Not Taken
~Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Into the Mystic 
I would not go back! I’ve come to far and closer still.
Love you

The conjunction is quincunx my natal Neptune. I had not noticed the conjunction or its being exact today, and yet I spent many hours writing a piece that is and yet isn’t a lot like what you’ve so courageously crafted here. I wonder if you agonized about publishing what you’ve written here in the same way I did mine.
Mine is about my 11th house stellium and how vulnerable it makes me when something goes wrong with a friend. In this case it’s about a friend who came very close to death recently. And about the remarkable gifts a stellium gives us and yet how terrible it is when something goes wrong.
Quite an intense conjunction this seems to be! Thanks for bringing it to light. Donna Cunningham, Skywriter

I tend to agonize about much of what I write and publish these past 3 years for nearly everything I share now has stemmed from my personal experiences many of which were quite painful and yet with this, I did not struggle hitting ‘publish’ and knew it was my next step out of that place I was in yesterday.
The past decade with Neptune and Pluto transiting my 8th and 6th respectively and having most of my chart being graced with their attention my life has necessitated my becoming transparent/vulnerable as a requirement for survival. I suspect to some that can sound exaggerated, yet I am certain you have seen alot of real whammy’s in your years of counsel, and I have had a whammy of walk this past decade, especially for a crab rising that preferred the camouflage of my shell. ((smile))
Some days I muse over why I air so much, if it is actually to help others or if it is solely for my own healing, yet at the end of the day I fudge it all and quit concerning myself with the why’s and I just do it, maybe because at this point in time, I know no other way of ‘doing or being’.
Best wishes to you Donna and I hope that you and your friend both fare well through this period! Kachina

would you believe it Kachina, the conjunction fell in my 3rd and trine my natal Neptune in 11th. Yes, beyond the shadow of a doubt your writing has helped me. It has been the most important thing that this conjunction has brought. Oddly I am currently re-reading M Scott Peck’s ‘A road less travelled’ -it pretty much fell off the library shelf as I passed.
This week I got a message from someone in my distant past concerning a school reunion – normally I ignore these, school being hellish confinement as far as I was concerned but curiosity got the better of me so I looked up some of my old class mates on the Interweb. To be honest I was a bit shocked at how much they had followed the road MORE travelled. Maybe the artists,musos and other creative thinkers don’t subscribe to those websites so probably won’t be reuniting either!
My ambitions have never been in the bank- been poor lots of times but never had to compromise my honour. Kachina, believe me you are right to live your truth even when it is so hard. Massive respect to you and Donna, Thank you both so much, you are blazing a brave trail and maybe will give me the courage to do the same.
Shanti, Morvah

On further reflection, in truth I have compromised my honour once or twice – steep learning curve!

Morvah,
I read your comment the other eve and it led to yet another adjustment in my life.
There is a man in my life that I have considered my best friend for many years. I have loved him deeply, and he, though never professing of that same level of love has given me many reasons to feel that we may just have something more than our friendship.
I knew the time had come for this relationship to come to completion, though I did not know which way it would go.
I, too..have compromised myself in the past, though I began my shift away from that 12 years ago, the last that Jupiter was in Pisces. Yesterday this friend of mine delivered quite a shock to me and while it is painful and I was quite angry for he professed to be using me as an escape from his world these many years, the thoughts you shared here helped tremendously for I saw how had we actually come to be together as a couple, I indeed would have had to compromise more than what I ever could or would.
And so we move on, and we continue to learn and strive to do what is proper for ourselves, do we not Morvah? 🙂
Thank you for sharing with me, you assist in my growth more than you likely know.
Love, Kachina
