Wise Wounded Healer Chiron is the Teacher of the Healing Arts and the Fostering of Growth and Merit in Youths in astrology.

Chiron is associated with the art of looking deeply within oneself in order to heal and find the self-love for one’s divinity within. In mythology, Chiron had the keys in terms of the connection to the divine, knowing of the potential that experiencing pain, that can lead to one having compassion for others, and more importantly, self-love. This is important as Chiron conjuncts Eris in Aries from July 2024 - 2026. Also, reading the discovery chart of Chiron, while including the most notable of the trans-Neptunian objects, makes a huge difference in understanding Chiron energy…

Chiron was known as a wise, patient mentor who nurtured, educated and empowered youths into maturity, and even took on a healthy, loving paternal role in heroic education of young men. Chiron was the personification of the fine, nurturing father figure, having what borders on father-son relationships with his students, for their self-enrichment. Principled Chiron was the son of Cronus, yet was raised by foster father Apollo, but despite being REJECTED and WOUNDED by his biological parents for his appearance which appalled his mother, as well as SLIGHTED by the centaurs for being DIFFERENT from them, had a CORNUCOPIA OF INNER WEALTH and GOOD ENERGY due to those who were willing to give, commit and invest in him. Practical and productive Chiron actually prospered due to being highly UNIQUE and not fitting into the status quo; actually having a moral compass, diligent with his values in life, and good intentions and EMPATHY for others. Level-headed Chiron had found his own light of divinity, brilliance, innovation, imagination and originality within and he wasn’t going to hide it, or make himself small, for anyone. See the articles below for more detailed information.

Chiron was a man of great energetic sensitivity, who understood fatherhood. Chiron had true morality; these are the principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong, good and bad behaviour, as well as real love versus fake care. This cannot not be manufactured…

Chiron was known for his knowledge and skill with medicine, and thus was credited with the discovery of botany and pharmacy, the science of herbs and medicine and even ASTROLOGY. He was intelligent, creative, grounded, GENIUS and disciplined. Centaurs were notorious for being wild, lusty, overly indulgent drinkers and carousers, violent when intoxicated, and generally uncultured delinquents. Chiron, by contrast, was intelligent, civilised, and kind, because he was not related directly to the other centaurs due to his biological linage, despite having very similar appearance to the centaurs, having the lower body of a horse in mythology. He was the son of the brief liaison between Titan Cronus and the Oceanid Philyra.

Ironically, Chiron, the graceful teacher who mastered the healing arts, could not heal himself from a wound and eventually gave up his immortality to find release from that life.

Due to his suffering from the hydra’s poison (Hera’s vengeance against those who aspired to greatness and their worthiness), his half-brother Zeus took pity on him and thus placed him amongt the stars in the sky to be honoured, and the honour was a great one indeed… The Greeks identified him as the constellation Centaurus, which is the bright constellation in the southern sky, and one of the largest constellations, with very bright stars, like Alpha Centauri, Beta Centauri and others. Its alpha and beta stars are used as "pointer stars" to help observers find the constellation Crux. Centaurus has 281 stars above magnitude 6.5, meaning that they are visible to the unaided eye, the most of any constellation.

See part 2 of the Chiron discovery chart series to understand just how much of a magnificent and magnanimous man luminous Chiron really was.

Chiron Transits:

In Chiron’s myth, he was wounded twice: once at birth via the rejection of others, and the second time toward the end of his life when he had already gained a reputation for being a fine teacher and healer. In astrology, this represents the fact that Chiron is immortalised in the natal/birth chart in a particular position, and then at around age 50, there is a Chiron return, as asteroid Chiron had made one revolution around the zodiac, to return to the same spot that it was in, at birth. This is the sore spot and core wounding that is re-experienced, as Chiron can bring up a flood of emotions around this wound and serve as a time to release what's no longer serving, regarding self-doubt or unresolved pain, so that the floodgates can open for healing.

During a Chiron transit, we may find ourselves confronting old wounds and traumatic events that we thought we had healed or forgotten. These issues may resurface, causing us to deal with them in a new and more meaningful way. However, it's important to remember that Chiron's transits can also bring up our unique talents, abilities and stir new potentials. Chiron starts to conjunct trans-Neptunian object Eris in July 2024, with direct hits in 2025 and 2026. Together with Eris they form the reaction point of a Boomerang Yod with Haumea at the apex. By 2027, Saturn starts to conjunct Eris as Chiron had moved on into Taurus. See the charts below.
