On February 18, 2019 Chiron moves into the sign of Aries, creating a shift of epic proportions in the way we look at healing our pain as a collective. This shift will not only herald what we have already come to learn in relation to healing the mind body and spirit, but will move us all into a new healing chapter, that is based within much deeper and richly authentic origins.
For those who feel a little foreign to astrological terms, Chiron, is an asteroid (oftentimes referred to as a minor planet), which symbolizes our own persistent wound and points to how to apply some healing to it.
The Asteroid's quintessential energy, represents the area of life where we have suffered in some way, which never seems to get completely resolved. Paradoxically however, it is the area in which we will find the most healing. In this way, Chiron is said not just to be the Wounded Healer, but also the Wound-ing Healer, and the way in which we find the most healing in this area, is by allowing ourselves to fully accept the reality of our experience within it.
Since April 20, 2010 to July 20, 2010, and then from February 08, 2011 until April 2018, Chiron has been situated in in the watery energy of Pisces. The sign of Pisces is known (amongst other things), for its empathy, compassion and sensitivity. These qualities can, at their best, lead the person to want to help, heal and be of service to others. In this way, the Piscarian part of us feels another person's pain to such an extent, that we may feel compelled to alleviate their distress, if only so that we aren't continuously subject to hurt by witnessing it.
During Chiron's transit through Pisces, as a collective, we have been learning many lessons in this energy, within the following themes:
- Our understanding of the subconscious mind.
- Our relationship to spirituality.
- Our understanding of what healing is like.
- Our understanding of what being wounded feels like.
- The language of that we have built around trauma and how we recover from it.
- The different types of abuse we have come to recognize.
Now that Chiron is shifting into Aries and will remain there for the next eight years, it is the beginning of a paradigm shift in what more authentic healing looks like. It is a brand new beautiful chapter in how we nurture ourselves and others. It is also the chapter in which mainstream consciousness is learning that the true healing isn't actually "out there", rather it starts from within.
As Chiron moves into the punchy energy of Aries, it will bring numerous breakthroughs beyond a world that has built itself on the following maladies:
- Unnecessary judgments and comparisons.
- Separation through differences.
- And the belittling and tricking of people, to get them to buy products and services.
This shift in energy will push the mainstream collective into the conscious understanding of what the ego actually is, and how it has been constructed over time. At the spiritual level, we will be lead back to that innate spark of consciousness, which resides within each of us and which says 'I am', and that in of itself, is good enough.
This new energetic chapter of Chiron in Aries, is a wonderful opportunity to build from spirit, the place that is beyond wound, beyond trauma, beyond identity and beyond karma (otherwise known as cause and effect).
This new structuring is in place of building from illusions fostered by our ego, our anatomy, our logic, analysis or strategy, or the conscious mind. Rather, we are now being called to create from the part of us that is so deep within. To awaken to the possibilities of creation and manifestation from a place deep within each of us, a place which is the very tapestry of truth.
Those who identify as ladies, those who identify as gentlemen and everyone inspirationally in between, what a time to be alive! Let the healing begin.
