Chiron and The Merit Making of the Wise Mentor’s Discovery Chart Series:
This page looks at the discovery chart of Chiron the great teacher, mentor and instructor who had substance and character, and saw sacred beauty in youths who needed his guidance and teachings to become men of honour, respect, great skill and merit. Zeus was insecure about all these heroes, in particular Achilles who had a profecy over his life, that he would become known as a great man indeed. This is why Zeus schemed the Trojan war with Themis, hoping that Achilles would fall flat on his face due to all the discord stirred in his heart, yet Achilles was the student of wise Chiron, and had remembered his teachings when he took a pause from the war during the last moments of it, which influenced his decision to go ahead and fulfil the profesy over his life and die young, but remembered for thousands of years, as the only epic hero in the Iliad. He was the only epic hero… in a messy situation…

Chiron was the half man, half centaur who rose from difficult circumstances into possibly one of the most respected men of his time, but in imparting his knowledge to make great men out of young boys, he stepped on the god’s toes, and stirred their INSECURITIES massively… In the discovery chart, those who are stirred are some of Chiron’s half-siblings, like Zeus (Jupiter in Roman mythology), and his wife Hera (asteroid Hera/Juno). Chiron had to learn to discern how his family wound influenced his life, and be very selective for whom he played hero, because there had been a lot of undercurrents of chaos and trickery in Greek polite society… Ultimately Chiron had to allow… for the Age of Heroes and the battling… to die… for the release from his wounding.
Like his most notable student Achilles, Chiron is still remembered thousands of years later, immortalised in the brightest constellation in the night sky, called Centaurus.
