Neptune and Chiron in Early 2020 – Long Wave Collective Healing and Mentoring

by Robert Wilkinson

I have offered this segment in each month’s New Moon series for many years to give you a broader perspective on the collective atmosphere, and the long wave changes humanity is going through. I’ve decided to make this an independent post which I’ll link to in the future. These two planets have to do with a VERY vast picture of collective consciousness and the energies needed to “heal into our Higher Self.” Today we’ll discuss what’s up and what’s coming.

Because there’s so much material, I promised the group I would post my notes on the talk here at the Aquarius Papers. Today is the last part of the talk, which offers a brief take on what’s ahead for each sign. This was always the part people most liked during the years I did my forecasts in Southern California, so please enjoy these brief snapshots. Of course these are for both Sun signs and rising signs!

He’s one of the most important non-violent revolutionaries ever to walk our Earth.
