Cosmic Healing: Chiron
Cosmic Healing: Chiron
What Chiron represents
Chiron holds our core wounding. It’s where we store doubt, fear, and insecurity that ultimately leads to self imposed restrictions and limiting beliefs. Named after the Greek mythological figure, Chiron, who was a master teacher and healer to all other gods. Chiron became wounded by an arrow but wasn’t able to heal himself; ironic since he was a master healer. To end his physical agony, Zeus turned Chiron into a constellation of stars. His pain and suffering was literally translated into light. Similarly, when we embark on the path of healing we translate our emotional pain, trauma, isolation and fear (our darkness) into light by connecting to spirit, universal law, and with others on the soul level.

How to Tap into Chiron’s Healing Energies
Chiron will transition through Aries from now until 2027 allowing us to heal a wounding related to our persona, our relationship with self, and our ability to express our individuality. This will be a time of self-realizations and deep healing. Change is difficult especially when we begin to grow into a new version of self that we are not familiar with. The result will be greater confidence, more self-worth, and the freedom of self-expression without fear of rejection. The healing of our self-concept will also impact how we relate to others (our relationships). As you begin to treat yourself with more love, acceptance, and gain more confidence you will naturally have different expectations and boundaries in your relationships with other people. Supportive relationships and people who have always seen you for who you are even when you couldn’t will most likely make the cut. However, relationships that have a strong rooting in a weaker or wounded version of yourself will fade to black.
Reviewing relationships will be an important part of Chiron’s healing lesson. When you review relationships you will begin to see how you relate to others and how others relate to you. Finding similarities in relationships can help you identify your subconscious needs that you are trying to get met. If you lack self-worth it will be evident in toxic behaviors you tolerate from others or expect others to deal with from you. The areas where you become frustrated, easily angered, or feel the need to strongly defend yourself are also the areas where you are insecure, unsure of yourself, feel unseen by others, or fear standing up for yourself out of fear of rejection.
