chiron retrograde
What is Chiron? Let’s start by saying there’s often debate on whether Chiron is an asteroid or a comet. For this, we’ll simply refer to it as an asteroid. The asteroid orbits the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. Chiron is named after Chiron, the centuar in greek myth. Chiron was a teacher and healer, but ultimately could not heal himself after being hit with poisoned arrows.
In astrology, Chiron is coined “The Wounded Healer”. Chiron represents those inner wounds and insecurities that you need to heal from but just can’t seem to heal completely. It represents things we may be able to see and heal in others, but not in ourselves. These wounds were likely brought up in our childhood.
Chiron is in retrograde from July 11, 2020 until December 15th, 2020 in Aries. This retrograde is all about bringing up wounds that we often leave behind, or ignore and, with Chrion being in Aries during this time, facing them. It is a time for healing and uncovering those wounds.
Here are examples of Chiron within ones chart using the house that rules it. I feel the house placement in the most important part of Chiron, since the house represents where this wound is at and how we can help ourselves [and others] heal this wound. Use this calculator to find your Chiron sign and house.
2H Chiron - To have Chiron in the 2H means that your wounds come from your [lack of] self-esteem/self worth. You may feel like you aren’t good or ‘worthy’ enough and in turn, value other possessions above yourself. There also might be issues with saving money or holding onto valuable possessions for too long / attaching yourself to object. It’s likely that you’re able to help others who are feeling this way in their life, but you downplay your own emotions/feelings.
4H Chiron - Issues with family / the mother. Having some sort of emotional or physical disconnect within your home and family life. There could be issues with detaching emotionally, especially when it has something to do with family or intense feelings – there’s a disconnect. However, you’re able to help others and be a secure person for them.
7H Chiron - Since 7H has to do with partnerships, people with 7H Chiron feel a disconnect with partnerships - usually of the romantic variety. This could be due to your own parental figures. If you have 7H Chiron, it’s likely that you tend to feel unworthy of love or like you may never find it. It’s possible that people with this placement tend to heal their partners in relationships, or attract people that need healing.
During this current Chiron retrograde, we should figure out where out wounds come from and not deny that they exist, as that only causes more hurt. Through recognizing these wounds, we can plan direct action to heal them.
