Jupiter and Chiron have met at the Edge of the World. It’s a misty place where the physical world meets the metaphysical one. Some of the passageways you already know about are there, such as the wardrobe that leads to Narnia, Dr. Who’s tardis and other magical entry-points. Jupiter is wearing the long, flowing robes of a priest of no particular denomination—he looks like he could lead a dharma talk or deliver a sermon. Chiron is wearing nothing but a piece of cloth wrapped around his middle, and carrying a staff with a fearsome creature’s face atop it—perhaps a totem animal, the face of an ancestor, or a defeated enemy’s head. The two meet and shake hands firmly.
Jupiter: Shall we get to work?
Chiron: Yes, of course.
Chiron waves his staff and the air ripples, as if there is a heat-induced mirage. Then a doorway appears, a portal. Inside the portal there is mist—it is impossible to see very far and all the colors are in softened shades of gray.
Chiron: Are they ready?
Jupiter: On my side, they’ve been lining up for centuries. And on yours?
Chiron: There’s no knowing, because time doesn’t exist there.
Jupiter claps his hands three times, and suddenly there is a line of people extending for miles. Each stands with hands at sides, eyes closed and wearing a simple white shift. They are obviously asleep.
Jupiter (beckoning): Come forward, please.
The first Human steps forward haltingly.
Jupiter: What is your wish?
First Human: I wish to relieve karma in my family line. I have an ancestor whose pain I have been carrying and whose lessons I am to learn. I wish to check in with this ancestor.
Jupiter: Your wish is a fine one. You may go to the portal.
First Human walks awkwardly to the portal, where Chiron awaits.
Chiron: I have found your ancestor. You may speak with her. Step in and I will make sure you return safely to your waking life.
First Human touches his hand in gratitude and steps through the portal.
Second Human steps forward.
Jupiter: What is your wish?
Second Human: I wish to communicate with the spirit of my unborn child, to make a connection and to create a safe pregnancy and birth. I wish to make a spiritual contract to help bring a life into the world.
Jupiter: Your wish is a fine one. You may go to the portal.
Second Human: Thank you.
And she does so.
Chiron: Your little one awaits you on the other side. He says things may not turn out as you expect, and that you have to be patient, but he wants to be with you, so you may speak with him to arrange it. I will make sure you return safely to your waking life.
Second Human eagerly crosses the threshold.
Third Human steps forward.
Jupiter: What is your wish?
Third Human: I have been wronged and I desire justice.
Jupiter: Your wish is a false one. If your desire is for peace, you can find that here. If it is for punishment, you’d best go back to your waking life.
A look of anger crosses Third Human’s face.
Third Human: I have been wronged! I wish for life’s balance to deal out pain where pain was given!
Jupiter: Your bitterness will not bring you peace. Let it go and pursue your own joy. The person who hurt you will find pain to match it elsewhere, and that is not your story to know. In your story, you have the power to be the place where the pain stops. Dream of that, and for now, return to your sleep and awaken refreshed and ready to begin again.
He touches the forehead of Third Human, whose face relaxes and who turns and stumbles away toward the Waking World.
Fourth Human steps forward, holding a large messenger bag.
Jupiter: What is your wish?
Fourth Human: I have letters I wish to be delivered to my younger self and questions for my older self. I want to encourage my younger self to pursue my dreams and ambitions and to be brave in the face of the challenges I know are to come. I also want to ask my older self for guidance in moving toward the best future I can have.
Jupiter: Your wish is a fine one. You may go to the portal.
Fifth Human steps forward.
Jupiter: What is your wish?
Fifth Human: I am consumed with jealousy. If I could just find out if my partner is cheating on me, I could have relief.
Jupiter: Your wish is a false one. If your desire is for peace, you can find that here. If it is for punishment, you’d best go back to your waking life.
Fifth Human starts in confusion.
Fifth Human: But we made a promise to each other! That promise has been broken, I’m sure of it!
Jupiter: You do not own each other. Love yourself first and then others. If you cannot trust your partner, then empty your heart. After it heals, seek to share love elsewhere. And for now, return to deep sleep, and awaken to your waking life refreshed and ready to begin again.
He touches the heart of Fifth Human, whose face relaxes and who turns and stumbles away toward the Waking World.
As there are thousands of sleeping Human Beings in line, ready for guidance or some other connection with the world of spirit, these two will obviously be busy for the rest of this harmonious transit.
