Let's Talk About Chiron
In Short
Chiron, a comet with a unique and erratic orbit, is often called “The Wounded Healer” as it reveals your greatest wound and the ways in which you can heal it.
Not only does Chiron inform how you might heal yourself, it is also a representation of your healing powers and the gifts you offer the world. Your deepest wound gives you the unique ability to offer guidance in the area you find yourself hyper-focused. Chiron is a place to discover how your personality interacts with your experiences and where your deepest spiritual wisdom lies.
Chiron’s transit (how its movement interacts with your natal chart) reveals the timeline of your ongoing self-work. You react differently based on the specific interaction of Chiron and your natal chart. Hypersensitive in the areas that Chiron sheds light on, you may therefore overcompensate to attempt to circumnavigate your healing by feeding into your wound, thinking that one day your exhaustive work will be good enough. It is only when you realize that the only way to heal is to accept your wound instead of trying to “fix” it.
