MIDPOINTS: CHIRON/APOLLON

Apollon/Chiron

Opportunity/recognition is:

        Unwanted

        In the wrong field

        Uncredited; lack of recognition for something important

        At the wrong time (e.g, posthumous)

        Public embarrassment

 

Travel events:

        Problematic travel issues

      Unsuccessful relocation

        Importing (incongruous) cultural values to a distant or foreign place

      World events: countries no seeing eye to eye.

U


Unwanted opportunity; maybe high visibility

George Washington’s presidency was marked by a series of progressed conjunctions of Apollon/Chiron.  “It seemed as if everyone rejoiced at the election of our first chief executive except for the man himself.”  He was re-elected “almost against his will”.  In his own words: “movements to the chair of government will be accompanied with feelings not unlike those of a culprit who is going to the place of his execution.”  He had to be persuaded to run for a second term which was more challenging than the first term and gave rise to the expression “second term curse”. 

Robert Mueller natal conjunction; T. Apollon triggers it during “Mueller Investigation”.   “Confusing and inconclusive final judgment….gave Trump an unnecessary gift.  His compromising language had another ill effect…it opened the door for the report to be misrepresented by countless partisans acting in bad faith.”  His reluctance to testify and his poor performance also occurred during this transit.

Lack of recognition

Etch-a-sketch inventor was hugely successful but scorned by critics (natal).

Recognition for something unwanted

The songs that made Bob Dylan famous became “a millstone”.  He wanted to start from scratch with a “Never Ending Tour” (see Apollon/Chiron and travel).  “I’d have to start at the bottom and I’m not even at the bottom”.  Natal aspect 15’ orb; the tour began when his SA was 45o triggering his natal aspect.   When T. Chiron stationed antiscia natal Apollon summer 2022, a lawsuit alleging sexual assault of a 12-year old in 1965 was dropped and his lawyers sought “monetary sanctions” for the “brazen misconduct” of the plaintiff’s legal team.

Michel Houellebecq on his critics: “What I do reproach them for isn't bad reviews. It is that they talk about things having nothing to do with my books—my mother or my tax exile—and that they caricature me so that I've become a symbol of so many unpleasant things—cynicism, nihilism, misogyny. People have stopped reading my books because they've already got their idea about me.” (N. semi octile 3’ orb)

Pianist known for his attention to lesser-known composers (natal).            Songwriter focuses on underappreciated people “the underestimated poor” (natal)

Chiron square P. Apollon exactly. 

Galileo View that earth revolves around sun led to his trial Natal aspect + P. Apollon=Chiron/Apollon

Bob Dylan was accused of selling out doing a Superbowl commercial.  (Natal aspect + SR aspect).  On a SA,  a collaboration with Grateful Dead was panned,

Travel mishaps; problematic relocation; problematic foreign interaction

Importing incongruous cultural values to a distant place, to a foreign country

Walt Disney opens Disneyland (natal Sun=Apollon=Chiron; Apollon/Chiron SA Aries 6’ orb).  Years earlier, when P. Apollon=N. Chiron exactly, he had a series of distribution problems resulting in his having a nervous breakdown. 

Dual manifestations of the aspect: Tony Blair resigned.  “Mr. Blair’s standing as a leader suffered in the wake of the Iraq war”.  At the same time, he started the Faith Foundation, criticized (“inspires ridicule”) for “reducing the religions to the same common denominator…stripping them of their identity...a universal, global power (to) impose on the entire world”  (Natal aspect + Progressed Apollon=N. Chiron exactly 2007-2008)

Edward Higgins White (minor aspect 9’ orb).  These could also have been symbolized by Saturn/Apollon

Walter Hunt Pallas=Chiron=Apollon square and midpoint picture 7/29/1796
Through the course of his work he became renowned for being a prolific inventor, notably of the lockstitch sewing machine (1833), safety pin (1849),[2] a forerunner of the Winchester repeating rifle, a successful flax spinner, knife sharpener,streetcar bell, hard-coal-burning stove, artificial stone, street sweeping machinery, thevelocipede, and the ice plough.[3]
Walter Hunt did not realize the significance of many of these when he invented them; today, many are widely used products. He thought little of the safety pin, selling the patent for a paltry sum of $400 (roughly $10,000 in 2008 dollars)[4] to the company W R Grace and Company, to pay a man to whom he owed $15. He failed to patent his sewing machine at all,

Gabriel Marquez Moon=Chiron/Apollon
