A Look at Chiron

I’m currently experiencing a transit where Chiron forms a T-square with my Venus-Pluto square, resulting in a particularly intense period. Although I anticipated romantic themes given Venus’s influence, it has surprisingly manifested more in family dynamics, dredging up past issues that are quite wounding and significantly affecting my self-esteem. Chiron’s a different beast. The emotional pain inflicted during this period has been unexpected and difficult to navigate. While I prefer not to delve into personal details, it’s important to acknowledge that Chiron’s impact extends beyond being just an asteroid. If you’re experiencing a T-square transit (Chiron makes two transiting aspects), be aware that it can bring some of the most challenging events, often feeling like deliberate wounds.

Chiron, often referred to as the “Wounded Healer” in astrology, highlights areas of deep emotional wounds and vulnerabilities but also offers a pathway for “healing.” Chiron transits can really dig up some deep-seated wounds and throw them right in your face. Family stuff has a way of cutting deep because it taps into those foundational wounds, the ones that formed when you were still figuring out who you are. It’s like getting hit by emotional shrapnel from things you thought were long buried.

Chiron drags up those old, festering wounds you thought you had buried deep and brings them right to the surface. It’s ugly, messy, and raw, especially when it comes with a lot of rage. The rage makes sense, though. When those old wounds get poked, it’s like an emotional reflex to strike back, especially when the blows are low and hit right where it hurts. It’s a defense mechanism, a way of saying, “You hurt me, now feel my pain.” It’s primal, instinctive.

It might be a good time to dig into some serious self-reflection. Ask myself why these wounds are still so raw. What is it about these family dynamics that triggers such a strong reaction? What can I do to start healing, rather than just reacting? (I usually respond passively and refrain from retaliating, but I recently found myself overwhelmed with rage. It felt as if I was being attacked and wounded).

So I’ve been up this morning, delving deeper into the nature of Chiron. This has inspired me to seek out a detailed article to understand it better. I need to go through some material and piece it all together.

I’ll continue collecting information and possibly publish a weekly article about Chiron. That way, you might get so overwhelmed with Chiron content that you’ll empathize with my current struggle under a Chiron transit. Misery loves company, after all!
