The Wounded Healer - Chiron In The Birth Chart

Astronomically, this asteroid was discovered in 1977; it can be in a sign from 1.5 to 8 years and goes backward once a year, for 4 or 5 months.

In mythology, Chiron was the son of an extramarital affair between Philyra and Saturn. After a difficult birth, a centaur, half horse and half human, was born, frightening his mother, who rejected him. Later, he was struck by an arrow from Hercules, adding another wound to his already difficult life, in addition to his mother’s estrangement. Chiron learned to live with his pain, distinguishing himself as a shaman, healer, and physician.

In astrology, Chiron represents the most painful part of ourselves, the part we find most difficult to bear. Its position in relation to the sign, house, and aspects it forms with other planets indicates the healing powers we possess as a result of these deep spiritual wounds. When we seek to access the power of Chiron in our birth chart, we can become master healers by connecting with people who have similar ailments, and in doing so, soothe our own distress.

Chiron In The Twelve Signs Of The Zodiac

Aries :

Here the warrior is wounded, as their competitive and enthusiastic spirit lost a battle they find hard to forget. Past indecisiveness and untaken risks also weigh heavily, generating a fear of facing challenges. By helping people going through periods of demotivation or lack of resolve, the native connects with their own healing.

Taurus :

There’s little acceptance of one’s own body and generally low self-esteem, coupled with a feeling of not having enough material possessions and resources. It’s difficult to enjoy life’s small moments and earthly pleasures. Listening to your body, surrounding yourself with people who have similar feelings, and sharing moments together is the best healing.

Gemini :

You doubt your intelligence because, likely, in your early years of learning, you were made to feel that you weren’t intelligent, perceptive, or adaptable enough. There are unresolved issues with one of your siblings. Using humor and play will help you and those around you.

Cancer :

Affection during childhood feels scarce, and there are unresolved issues in the bond with your mother or whoever filled that role. You carry a feeling of not belonging, perhaps due to a move or change of city during childhood. Offering protection to those who felt abandoned is the best form of symbiosis.

Leo :

This person feels their pride wounded because they don’t feel important or stand out, leading to a lack of spontaneity or shyness. They have to look back to identify where they didn’t receive the recognition they expected. Artistic expression, and especially theater, is a great form of therapy where you’ll learn to encourage others to be authentic.

Virgo :

You may be prone to excessive worry about unimportant details and a fear of disorder and chaos. You might fall into daily rituals just to maintain control. You feel anxious about not being entirely useful and are a perfectionist in what you do. Any charitable or altruistic work you undertake connects you with your inner wound in an effort to heal it.

Libra :

The way others perceive you is somewhat unsettling, leading you to act overly cordial to avoid conflict, even to the point of avoiding expressing your disagreements. Making decisions is a heavy burden when you’re drowning in doubt. Surrounding yourself with determined, proactive, and action-oriented people will provide you with valuable lessons that you’ll later expand upon.

Scorpio :

You fear confronting taboos, life’s mysteries, and your own fears. Sexuality is a very important topic, but you go through periods where you choose to repress or ignore it. Your excessive distrust makes it difficult for you to open up emotionally. Psychotherapy is the best solution, as is delving into the problems of others, since your sign has the gift of touching the root of pain in order to heal.

Sagittarius :

You struggle to be optimistic and see the bright side of things because you have many existential questions and yearn for answers. You need to have faith in a god or higher power, but you tend to question its existence. Sharing your knowledge and guiding others helps you connect with your inner teacher, who imparts wisdom to their followers.

Capricorn :

You feel that merit and hard work, no matter how much effort you put in, won’t be enough to reach your goals because you see reality in a very harsh and cold light. There’s some wound related to the paternal figure and authority figures, which is why you feel fear towards them. If you avoid being self-sufficient and learn to delegate, you’ll discover the warmth of people open to learning the meaning of responsibility.

Aquarius :

You find it hard to have a unique and different personality, as you may have been the target of jokes because of your way of being or your appearance. You crave freedom and make few commitments to people, but as soon as you are free, you feel lonely, with the feeling of emptiness being your greatest fear. Joining a political, environmental, or other group that aims to make a global and human change is the best way to find common ground with people who share similar aspirations.

Pisces :

You find it very difficult to open up emotionally and feel the pain of others, which makes it hard to set the necessary boundaries to take care of your own inner world. You are very sensitive to the pain of any living being. Connecting with the spiritual world, meditation, and all esoteric practices are remedies for the soul, making you a person with great healing power.
