Chris Reeve, who played superman in four movies, suffered a tragic accident when riding is a dressage competition on May 27, 1995. His horse balked at a jump, his hands became entangled in the reins so that he had no protection, and he was flung head-first into the barrier. An upper vertebrae in his neck snapped and he became paralyzed from the head down. At first he wanted to end his life, but was deterred by his wife who had total faith in him, and now he is a director as well as a public speaker on behalf of spinal cord research (he believes he will one day regain the use of his limbs). About his movie career he says he "failed upward" and was always meant to direct. His is an inspiring story of determination and transformation under extremely stressful circumstances. The Moon was passing over the top of his chart, about to conjunct his prominent Jupiter, at the time of the accident.

Transiting Chiron in strong trine (forming, 0.5 degrees) with natal Jupiter Focal planet of planetary pattern
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 10/5/94 to 11/6/94, exact on 10/20/94; and 3/22/95 to 7/10/95, exact on 4/22/95 R, 6/12/95.
The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.
Your religious philosophy and broad intellectual framework are subject to a certain amount of re-examination now. Painful experiences in these areas could lead you to a new outlook on life. Also during the course of this transit, you may have issues arise related to travel or other methods of broadening your intellectual horizons. There may be suppressed emotions relating to the received philosophy of parental figures that come up for you at this time, leading to introspection and rethinking of your views. Perhaps there are ways that these shared philosophies from your early background no longer fit your needs in the present era. If you look deeply within yourself you may be able to find the answer to questions that come up for you at this time, and move closer to a true synthesis of your lower and higher natures. This synthesis will be as rewarding, in the end, as the experience of getting to it was painful at the time. Then you will be able to use your new-found integration to advantage in sharing your vision for the world with other like-minded individuals, in order to help make that vision a reality for yourself and for society as well.

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.
You feel the need to develop and expand your horizons in ways you haven't before. You are getting a wake-up call from your life. Over the course of this transit, you will be opening yourself up to new influences. Your life may take a dramatic turn quite suddenly, ultimately for the better. A new level of maturity awaits you, enabling you to more fully take charge of your own life.
Transiting Pluto in strong sextile (fading, 3.1 degrees) with natal Sun Ruler of rising sign
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 1/23/95 to 4/13/95, no exact; and 11/14/95 to 12/25/96, exact on 1/7/96, 5/7/96 R, 11/3/96; and 5/28/97 to 10/23/97, no exact.
The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.
This is a period when many factors in your life could alter, because the energy of Pluto, symbolizing the process of decay and change, death and re-birth, is strongly present in your consciousness during this time. Significant life changes are almost certain to result. These changes can be difficult, since most of us tend to cling to our older and more established ways of being, and resist the pressure of the new with all our might. But these changes are inevitable, and perhaps necessary for your growth as a human being. Sometimes these life changes will manifest more on an internal level, and sometimes outer events may bring them. Either way, change is inevitable as you confront in order to replace those portions of your behavior that have outgrown their usefulness to you in your present circumstances.

You feel a terrific sense of optimism and possibility. You are very sure of and comfortable with yourself, and may also expand your ideas regarding home and family. Your relationships with significant female figures in your life, such as with your mother, may also be full of joyful expansiveness, under the beneficial influence of this transit. This transit expands and emphasizes whatever it touches, and in this case it is your feelings and your feminine or nurturing side, the deeper part of yourself, as well as your attitudes toward home and family. All these areas will be seen in a more positive light during the course of this transit. There may be more peacefulness and quiet optimism in your family life than usual, during this period of time. It is a good time to make plans for the future, or to start projects which have to do with your home base, such as decorating, or getting something done that needs taking care of around the house. It is a good time to buy a home or real estate, should that possibility be a part of your current situation. You may also want to take advantage of this period to work on family issues, if there are any that need addressing. You will find yourself in a good place to deal with other people during this period of time. If there is a drawback, it is in being so peaceful and content that it is difficult to accomplish your goals; your drive for achievement may be temporally short-circuited. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Relax, and enjoy the moment!

Issues of outer-directed activity are challenging for you at this time. There may be many painful realizations around the areas of how you assert yourself with other people and what exactly is your place in the world of activity and outward drive and ambition. At this time, you may feel that unconscious drives are more powerful than your overt conscious motivations. You may be tempted to "act out" in a wild and independent way that is heedless of consequences. You also have a powerful urge to create at this time, and you need to get in touch with how to use this energy and what it is that you want to accomplish. You may experience frustration in trying to go your own route, independent of what consensus reality surrounding you may dictate. Old wounds in the area of self-assertion and how you make your way in the world may come up at this time, causing you much suffering as you try to find your true path. It is only by going deep within yourself and trusting the intelligence of your own inner awareness that you can begin to heal these issues inside you, come through this period of chaos and enter a new birth of understanding and trust in your own process.
Transiting Neptune in strong square (fading, 1.7 degrees) with natal Venus Sole dispositor of chart planets
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 3/13/95 to 6/13/95, no exact; and 1/9/96 to 9/25/96, exact on 3/7/96, 6/23/96 R; and 10/16/96 to 3/2/97, exact on 1/5/97; and 7/4/97 to 1/2/98, exact on 10/8/97 SD.

During this period of time, your values may also change, or your artistic sensibility, usually in the direction of a deeper commitment to the mystical or the divine in life. You may be attracted to a spiritual movement at this time. Sometimes you may find that some sacrifice on your part is required, perhaps through relationship or in other ways. You may fall in love with someone who is unavailable, or be forced to adjust your needs to match the expectations of your partner. Whether you decide to make such sacrifices or not, there is always a lesson implied in the greater spiritual awareness that Neptune brings to you through these types of struggles.

You are likely to experience an urge for freedom and spontaneity at this time. There is a genius energy in you, an energy to create new things and depart from the normal run of the mill consciousness in doing so. With this transit, your mental creativity and spontaneity is up for a transformation of some sort. Perhaps you will launch yourself into new ways of thinking and being, even altering your lifestyle. There may be changes in store for you that have been waiting in the wings for the right moment to come on stage, new ways of being that more truly serve the evolutionary purpose that you came into this life to actualize.
