I woke up this morning feeling serious. Typical morning 😉 but underneath that layer, I smile.
What are your layers? What’s your topmost layer? And yes you can think of it as layer cake or the earth’s layers or maybe you are a shell, a spiral. Maybe a grid 🙂 The one thing I know for sure is that you’re an intricate and interesting being. There are memories and desires and mistakes.
And I’m wondering where Chiron fits in to your story. How much an influence you think he has on you. We are feeling an increased Chiron affect these days because he only recently went direct and is enjoying (ha!) support from transiting planets in Scorpio and Capricorn.
This is my Chiron “advice” for Saturday 🙂 wherever you have Chiron in your natal chart (and according to your transits), you need to live in that house, unpleasant as it is when you spend too much time there, uncomfortable as it is. Do it anyway. It’s like a treasure hunt where you have to offer up all the riches you find but those riches are badly needed. And since you can’t avoid Chiron and Chiron lessons, don’t even try to avoid them. Take breaks, yes, but then come right back, with your shaky tenderness (as Pema Chodron would say).
Wherever you have Chiron is where you will not only feel rejected but risk rejection, and most likely get rejected. And yet you can help others. That’s the Chiron legacy and irony. That we suffer and alleviate others’ suffering and can’t cure our own, but imagine if we ALL did this… It’s making me think of guardian angels, of the folks who believe we have angels and guides looking out for us. And that you, that all of us, have a Chiron. Not just that vulnerable spot in our chart but someone out there in this vast world, physical or metaphysical, who can save us.
Good Morning from the Big City 🙂

I didn’t have any oppositions in my chart until I eventually added Chiron. 4th house, exactly opposite Pluto in the 10th. This speaks more to me of the struggle between my parents. Mum in the 4th (where my Moon also is) and Dad in the 10th–Pluto (conj Uranus of course). He was a Plutonic influence in my life a Leo (I’m an Aquarian) and as a play on words, Mum was the chaotic/chironic influence at home. As for me personally in my life–still haven’t figured it out yet. But I think it’s a ‘problem’ I had to deal with between my parents.
Me too, Link! Well, except one other: Saturn Neptune opposition. Otherwise, Uranus Chiron opposition.
This. My Chiron story is to work 1:1 with those who are depressed. alone and rejected (whether by chance of birth, a neuro-chemical imbalance, or due to mistakes they made in the past), and at the end of the day, I go home and face my own dysthymia, my relative isolation, and sense of rejection by others. Possibly I’m doing right by my natal Chiron, and hopefully that will count for something in the next lifetime.
