Chiron Healing Report (All Signs) Excerpt

Introduction

An astrologer I had been following, whose work usually resonated with me, commented one day in her blog that she did not consider (in her readings) or believe in the asteroid Chiron. In fact, she scoffed at the idea and mocked a phrase, in an almost bully-like manner, associated with the Chiron wound: What is wrong with me?

For her, this dialogue was filed in her “Woe is me” folder that, in her words, she could not stomach. Interesting.

As a Chiron gal myself, this phrase –What is wrong with me – is etched deeply into my own psyche …

But then I realized this:

Chiron wounds hold power over us when we don’t acknowledge them and can cause us to be defensive, self-defeating, lost, stuck, or even a bully.

It’s important to note that Chiron wounds play out in one of two ways: …

Here’s the truth: …

The first step is always admitting we have “a problem” or a mental block we may need support to move through, and healing begins with facing it.

Chiron wounds are formative. They shape us. While I am not sure we can fully heal our wounds, especially if healing is associated with fixing or mending our pain, I do believe we can and must integrate our buried pain, so that it does not control us – the reason many of us have struggled with addiction and self-defeating habits.

Once we understand and accept the wound as a necessary or, even, beautiful part of us, it is no longer relegated “to the shadows,” that is to say it no longer holds power over us. In a literary essay I wrote, called Memories Without a Home, I use the metaphor of the Japanese pottery method, Kintsugi, that uses broken bits and pieces to create vases that are considered unique and beautiful because of their cracks.

Another simple truth: once we accept something we are free from it.

An example of this is a woman I know who shares her experiences and teachings around “calm parenting,” and has gained substantial recognition over the last few years. Recently, someone she used to know showed up and threatened to tell the world about her juicy past. …

When we accept ourselves, especially the parts we are ashamed of and have tried to hide, we reclaim our power – we become empowered. And our innate gifts become available to us.

Chiron, in mythology and astrology, is known as the Wounded Healer. He was a mentor, guide, and teacher who carried his own wound of abandonment and used the wisdom and understanding, derived of his own pain, to support and teach others. Thus, with Chiron work the healing process tends to involve using the wisdom we have gained from our own wound to support or connect with others. This may include one-on-one work, but it doesn’t need to; for many of us, counseling or one-on-one work drains us of vital energy, since we tend to be highly sensitive people; instead, we may choose work that reaches a larger audience but allows us to keep boundaries around our personal output.

In the Astrology natal chart, Chiron represents a raw place where we carry pain, often rooted in childhood or early life experiences, but also where we have the greatest capacity for healing, wisdom, and service to others.

This report explores Chiron in each of the zodiac signs (and corresponding houses), shedding light on the deeper meaning of “the wound” or buried pain, and presents a path forward: a way to become “unstuck.” It is meant to give you a window into your Chiron healing process. If you know the house, as well as the sign, where Chiron dwells in your natal chart, read both.

Below is an example of my natal chart from my My Astro. Chiron is the glyph that looks like a key. In my chart, it appears on cusp of my 5^th and 6^th houses.

As a related aside, you may find that you relate to multiple placements in this report. Chiron, in your natal chart, may be on the cusp of two signs and houses, as it is in mine, and it may “touch” personal planets (i.e., Mercury, Venus, and Mars) as well. We can also look through the lens of various charts, such as the progressed and solar charts. I, myself, relate to many of the Chiron placements due to the fact that Chiron makes a connection with A LOT of my planets – probably the reason this has become a piece of my life’s work. Whoever thought so much wounding could bring me joy.

If you’re reading this report, chances are that Chiron plays a big role in your chart and life, too.

The message of this report is this: uncovering and integratiang the wound leads us to purpose and joy.

Each sign includes:

*Although there may be additional body parts or systems associated with each sign I have listed the main ones to be aware of; if this aspect of Astrology interests you there are many resources on the subject. One book that comes to mind is: Your Body and the Stars: The Zodiac as Your Wellness Guide by Stephanie Marango & Rebecca Gordon.

**Holistic healing is about caring for the whole self: body, mind and spirit. We start by becoming aware of everything we ingest, including the food we eat, the environments we spend time in, the friends we surround ourselves with, the thoughts we listen to, the words we communicate to (and about) others (and ourselves), the sounds we hear (e.g., TV, videos, music), and the air we breathe. We must, piece by piece, tend to and connect with all the disparate parts of ourselves if we want to heal.

Chiron in Aries, or the 1st House

Don’t let’s ever be afraid of things. It’s such dreadful slavery. Let’s be daring and adventurous and expectant. – L. M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables)

Body Parts associated with Aries: Head and Face. There may be an actual wound, injury, or sensitivity to this body part and/or a symbolic wound, for example our ability to think and take charge (“headstrong”).

The Wound: Several years ago, when I was trying something new (the flying trapeze off all things!) the teacher called out to me: “I believe in you, Nicole!” It was a phrase I wasn’t accustomed to hearing and my entire being and body responded: I stood a little taller and felt stronger, both internally and physically. Amazing what a simple phrase can do!

Later in the day, It occurred to me how foreign those words sounded and that I had rarely, if ever, heard them during my formative years. With Chiron in Aries, the wound is centered around …
