\"\"<\/a>The minor planet, Chiron’s archetype, is a subject of deep study for me.\u00a0 My sacred work involves using information from Chiron’s placement in the individual birth chart to elicit awareness, and offer insights and affirmations to those\u00a0who want to take loving command of their lives, integrate whole-being, and live in tune. \u00a0Every unique soul path involves potential healing passages, described by Chiron’s transit (current place) in the sky, whose mythology is best known as that of the ‘Wounded Healer.’<\/p>\n

Chiron’s teachings contain the Key to resolving, unifying, and balancing divine, human, and animal aspects of\u00a0our beings<\/strong>. \u00a0Such resolution is gained via fully inhabiting our Hearts in acceptance and embrace of the human condition; engaging our natural, deep soul-senses; claiming the full potential of whole life, and coming into peaceful presence in honor, love, and divine order. (See also my article on Stigmata.)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As we undertake the Chironic journey of self-discovery that begins with a firm commitment to heal our souls<\/strong>, we simultaneously enhance the natural development of our spiritual gifts and healing powers. \u00a0Courage, honesty, self-responsibility, and committed presence must be consistently applied as we step into our deepest fears, heal our most daunting pain, and face our long-term denials. \u00a0 As we ‘come back home’ to our most precious selves — guarded and hidden away from the world — and settle into Core Truth of Deep Soul, our brightest light and gifts grow, bud and flower into sharing and fulfillment as medicine for a world in need. What could be more vitally important to us now, than to be a human touchstone for the union, relief, and healing of Heaven and Earth in loving Divine Order?<\/strong>\u00a0 The Hebrew G-d name, Adonai Ha Aretz<\/em>, meaning ‘the Lord manifest in Nature’, encourages us toward attainment of this ultimate earthly fulfillment.<\/p>\n

Chiron is a small, mysterious minor planet in the outer solar system, of an origin beyond our system. \u00a0It’s a potent significator associated with mind, heart, soul, and body unification and healing within, and outwardly in right\u00a0relationship with Earth and all creatures. Chiron bridges personal and transpersonal consciousness and being. \u00a0It is associated with healers and healing process, energy conducting chakras in the hands and feet, and ultimately the liberation and mastery of Christ Consciousness.<\/strong> \u00a0“Chiro” means ‘hands’ and the words chiropractor, chirurgy (early word for surgery) chiromancy, are associated with Chiron and its mythical teachings.<\/p>\n

Some people are more personally attuned to Chiron’s associated life energies than others, and whole-being integration is not a conscious goal of every one. \u00a0Those who are strongly attuned with Chiron often have an especially difficult time with painful, wounding experiences in their youth, and must learn to re-tune their pronounced sensitivities as they heal and reclaim mastery — the promise of Chiron’s Key. \u00a0Eventually, what was perpetually wounding and repetitiously painful evolves into relief, liberation, and transcendence of conditional sensitivities that previously were necessary to call attention to the soul-wound and its accompanying ‘wound reality’, deep beneath the surface of consciousness. \u00a0The distorted reality perception that accompanies the Sacred Wound (‘sacred’ means set apart) reliably re-creates the painful pattern(s) until the underlying issue is addressed, the damaged ‘inner circuitry’ is rebuilt.\u00a0 Then Life can restore its whole being circle within our lives, hearts and beings, as we are designed to enjoy — our whole lives!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Chiron’s place in your personal astrology chart offers information about the challenge of your soul-wound and its associated off-tune reality in particular areas of life. \u00a0Chiron describes the primal wound of individuating away from the Oneness, Light, and Love we came from in the Beginning which occurred when we descended into Earth bodies, into duality, sexes, personal consciousness, and experienced our first SEPARATION from the Whole that was intensely traumatic, damaging our identification circuitry like a ‘hole in the soul’ for every one on Earth. \u00a0As we are born into our lives and bodies, the wounding repeats early in infancy, via some separation, shock, or painful experience, that echos and re-constellates the wound pattern\u00a0forward in time, until it is consciously and personally addressed for deep healing.<\/p>\n

The wound is also created by our perceived separation of mind, body, and spirit in the human condition, and\u00a0is healed by coming to honor, value, include, and enjoy our inner wildness, precious innocence, earthy sensuality, deep instincts and perceptive intuitions on an equal basis of veneration and value, as intellect, heart, and social ‘success’.<\/p>\n

Chironic Soul Pain is One of The Greatest Drivers of Addiction on Earth<\/strong> that repeatedly, compulsively propels us outside of ourselves in action to seek comfort and relief from our inner pain. \u00a0However, this effort for relief NEVER works. \u00a0It is essential to re-direct the compulsions\u00a0as they occur<\/strong> into self-love, self-presence, feeling our feelings, and giving ourselves the love, attention, consideration, regard, acceptance, affirmation that we did not get in our formative beginnings, and can never get enough of from the outside world while the wound reality reigns. \u00a0THEN our lives can rearrange from repeating woundings and perpetual hungers into fulfillment and enjoyment of the gift of life, as we\u00a0actualize our potential\u00a0and assist others. \u00a0The initial healing can only be done by oneself (with Divine guidance and aid) within one’s own being, and in compassionate service to others. \u00a0Thus we gain the intrinsic empowerment of taking responsibility and spiritual maturation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chiron refers to ‘victim process’ and eventually we come to realize that it is actually ‘false victim process’ in light of the bigger picture of existence<\/strong>. \u00a0Eventually we can see that every one is potentially a great and powerful being in becoming, and every one of us IS creating our life experiences. \u00a0We came into this life, ultimately equipped with the power and fortitude to meet with and heal every trauma, pain, and suffering we are subjected to. \u00a0But it takes self-commitment, time, and experience to gain the awareness that enables us to integrate our shadows and we must honor our weaknesses and protect ourselves until we can gain the life mastery of true freedom and conscious creation.<\/p>\n

A perpetrator of abuse suffers unconsciously, though no less, and if correction is not made, will experience being a victim in the next cyclic manifestation of the complex. \u00a0Natural Law affirms that violations and abuses that injure others will unfailingly be called to account, whether or not via government and court systems during the lifetime of the abuser. \u00a0If we are victimized, we are strongly being urged by life to regain our healthy sense of self and boundaries that will no longer be violated, and heal our subconscious of any self-destructive and self-negating tendencies that unconsciously attract an abuser.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creative will, action, volition, and conscious choice in response to conditions and circumstance, alternate with subconscious passions, drives, fears, appetites, and subjective emotions to create what we experience, and attract partners for our learning dramas. \u00a0As Carl Jung pointed out,\u00a0\u201cUntil you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0Eventually, what we formerly deemed negative — every challenge, trial, loss, drama, frustration and pain — can be welcomed as potentially empowering and liberating because we have come to know that reality is love based, and there is only Love behind the distortions of our resistance and painful experiences! \u00a0Then we come into blessed living, natural strength and protection, and the magic of love’s ease can manifest more freely and creatively as we give and receive in secure, manifold and wondrous ways.<\/p>\n

It also helps to understand that we play out the roles of wounder, wounded, victim, and healer<\/strong>, alternately in our life ‘fields of experience’ where Chiron is primarily operating, as portrayed in the personal astrology chart. \u00a0We attract other people to engage in these dramas and these four roles can simply perpetuate each other without real progress being made. \u00a0As astrologer, Adam Gainsburg, points out in his book, “Chiron, The Wisdom of a Deeply Open Heart,”<\/a> our soul’s intention is to create a broken-open heart experience which reminds us how to inhabit our human heart, accept our shortcomings, and alchemize our soul-wound from perpetual pain into medicine and solutions to share with others. \u00a0We are required to come down to the ground (body) of human being.<\/p>\n

\"\"Another characteristic of our Chiron wound is that we can help others with our spiritual gifts, in ways we cannot receive ourselves UNTIL our soul-wound and its reality-distortion are resolved<\/strong>. \u00a0This is because our ego formed during the separation experience that created the wound, and the ego is invested in our remaining wounded, for its own viability. \u00a0What’s helpful about this, is that the ego cannot gain a foothold in the light of the spiritual gifts for its own aggrandizement, or pass itself off as the channel. \u00a0Our unique divine light is kept pure in a manner that is, at first, beyond our understanding.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, since ego cannot gain a self-identity context that includes and affirms our unique spiritual gifts and true healing powers with any objectivity; instead of uniquely gifted, we perceive ourselves to be flawed, damaged, and below par where Chiron is working in our lives;\u00a0 which in turn is denied and avoided by the ego!<\/p>\n

The wound-reality associated with our soul-wound is especially distorted and out of tune<\/strong>, because deeply held negative beliefs are at its root. \u00a0Not only are we unconsciously recreating the wounding and pain over and over again, but\u00a0our perceptions are especially unclear and inaccurate. \u00a0We are ‘wired’ to hear, see, and believe any “evidence” that the false base of our acute inner pain, no matter how much of a reach — is true! \u00a0It is the ultimate personal subjective spin.\u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0This ‘reality’ creates interference with innocent and accurate perception of life in the moment. \u00a0An example of this could be a child who interprets the words or actions of a parent as a terrible infliction of hurt and pain, when the parent had no such intention and cannot even understand how the child would conclude such a thing.<\/p>\n

Bridging and Balancing Animal, Human, and Divine<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In studying Chiron’s myth and teachings, there is much to learn about re-balancing head, heart, deep soul and spirit senses, body wisdom, and Earth relationship. \u00a0Regaining our deep instincts and senses is more vital than ever now, for successful navigation of day-to-day decisions in times of accelerated change, amid increasing stresses of unnatural pollutions and environmental complications. \u00a0Developing, hearing, and trusting the wisdom of our bodies, energy testing for what empowers and disempowers, clarifying our natural discernment will keep us safe from the dangers of sophistry, clever counterfeits, and unaccountable, soul-less profiteering.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chiron’s Transit in the Sky<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Chiron is currently finishing up in Pisces (first quarter 2019) where it has been since 2012.\u00a0 We’ve been dealing with serious soul-wound issues in our history for the last six years, as the cycle dating back to\u00a0 1969 has called collective attention to hidden abuses that have come to light, fruition and understanding now in the completion of Chiron’s full circle of the zodiac, often by institutions. \u00a0An example that comes to mind is the Netflix docuseries, “The Keepers”, which outed and aired extreme abuses and victimizations associated with the murders of Sister Catherine Cesnik and Joyce Malecki, and horrendous child abuse at Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore, Maryland in 1969.<\/p>\n

Negatively, Chiron in Pisces issues (especially square Saturn from 2014 thru 2018) have included escapism, unhealthy boundaries, distraction, addiction, victimization by deceit, illusion and theft, avoidance and denial of reality, and human strife in desperate efforts to perpetuate small-self complexes, unhealthy boundaries, and preserve comfort zones, which have become especially draining and promote dysfunction among those who refuse to progress from spiritual adolescence. \u00a0The result can be extreme confusions and insanity.\u00a0 These issues will continue to present while we are in the ‘dark’ of Saturn-Chiron’s synodic cycle that will re-set and renew in 2028.<\/p>\n

But now we have a shift in our healing focus as Chiron enters Aries (February 18, 2019)<\/strong>.\u00a0 Now our soul-wound and healing process will involve healthy initiative and action — or not.\u00a0 We can become our own heroes with great potency with Chiron in Aries.\u00a0 We can regain a freer, healthier sense of pioneering Self.\u00a0 We will also be dealing with headstrong initiatives that are out of tune with Nature, and out of order with Life.\u00a0 War, militarization, and increasingly ‘hurtful’ weapons will amplify among humanity with Chiron in Aries.\u00a0 Chiron’s previous transit of Aries was from 1969 to 1976.\u00a0 From now until 2028, we may note correlations to the 70s in our soul-healing process, may review our experiences then (if old enough), and gain better objectivity and understanding that help us release victimhood and grow into greatness.<\/p>\n

We’re also going to see merciless assaults (war) on what remains of Nature on our planet, indigenous people, wild animals, and the natural senses of people in general.\u00a0 Are we going to allow desperate and greedy factions to destroy our beautiful, graceful home with no challenge or corrections?\u00a0 Are we going to devalue our own innate senses and enable false authorities to rule over our bodies and beings?\u00a0 If so, we are passively contributing to great, tragic suffering and self-destruction.<\/p>\n

The next Saturn-Chiron cycle that initiates in 2028 at 7\u00b0 Taurus offers us the opportunity to build a healthier relationship with the Earth into our shared values, and true wealth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Yet a great struggle is portrayed by Astrology as Pluto in Aquarius squares the conjunction with a concentration of planets in Taurus, intensively involved.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Chiron was in its closing square with Saturn in Sagittarius during 2016 thru 2018<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0portrayed in this graphic. \u00a0The closing square is the “seasonal fall” phase of the cycle, a crisis of release of everything that doesn’t work; errors, failures, behavior modes, wrong investments and decisions, and corruptions dating back to the beginning of the cycle in 1966. Saturn and Chiron’s relationship is waning now, decreasing in light, as we enter the ‘winter’ darkening phase until 2028 when their cycle renews again throughout creation.<\/p>\n

In anticipation of this two-year Saturn-Chiron closing square, I wrote in December 2015<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Saturn-Chiron Square brings up justice issues associated with \u2018false victim process<\/strong>\u2018, the institution of laws that impose undue bondage and control on the human spirit (keeping people spiritually adolescent and disempowered), and fomenting blame and hatred for perceived \u2018hurt\u2019. \u00a0This is often a thinly disguised ego-lust for power and control over others to dictate how they should live. \u00a0In fact, human Saturn-Chiron distortions have been at the root of every mass movement that blames and abuses others through judgments and atrocities that are based on deceptions, bias, and false accusations. \u00a0Saturn-Chiron flashpoints\u00a0(such as closing square) [historically] mark the worst finger-pointing and ill-informed hatred of the entire synodic cycle (62 years).<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The magnitude of hatred, rage and blame (HRB) among Americans due to disinformation and false victim process has increased beyond what I could have imagined when I wrote the above statement.<\/strong>\u00a0 Distorted soul-wound realities have amplified to a fever pitch. \u00a0HRB is the red flag of victim process, scapegoating, and the small-self perspective that life is “unfair”. \u00a0When one doesn’t have oneself, one is a potential victim of — or terrified of being at the mercy of — others with different views, objectives, and values in a bully democracy situation that pits people against each other in perpetual power-scrabbling strife. Mutual honor and respect, diplomacy, equanimity, open-mindedness, good will and faith, and social grace are not possessed by those who are operating from a fear base and wounded sense of self.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yet, as the leaves of trees and plants die and fall to the ground yearly during the fall season, so too this great 62-year cyclical clearing and purging of Saturn-Chiron related manifestations marks a time when life energies withdraw to inner integrity, and distill into seeds of new potential, to germinate at the new cycle in 2028. \u00a0If we have used the energies of the current cycle constructively in good faith (1966 to date), this closing phase of Saturn-Chiron’s relationship signifies re-attunement to the truth of core being and timeless vitality of Source, clarification, purging, and affirmation of worthy values — even as exploitations of Earth’s resources by selfish human (inhuman) interests become increasingly desperate and poisonous, and require forceful exertions to maintain. \u00a0Every investment and endeavor that isn’t oriented for the good of All Beings finds itself out on a limb of the Tree of Life, and like dying leaves, becomes compost — at the close of this cycle, or at a cycle specifically related to the death of the endeavor.<\/p>\n

At its best, the stress of this closing square crisis flashpoint\u00a0can be:<\/p>\n
