Description

Chiron is the centaur of Greek myth and namesake of a particular asteroid in the cosmic sky.  Chiron is the archetype of the Sacred Wound, the Wounded Healer, the Embodied teacher.

Chiron as a point on your natal chart represents “a ‘tender spot’ within the self-definition, a place which cannot be strengthened through self-talk, outer achievements or outside validation.  It might also be described as the raw feeling of being too exposed, too vulnerable, permanently broken or somehow defeated.” (from astrologer Adam Gainsburg)

A wound implies an original vision.  We come into this world with some kind of knowing how things could be, especially in terms of love and connection.

The wound occurs when our vision is lost, hidden, discarded, undermined, scattered and shattered in our interactions with our families and the world we find ourselves in.

We render our wound sacred when we welcome home these excruciatingly vulnerable and endangered parts of ourselves, by feeling all the feelings they invoke in us, by hearing their stories and needs, by holding our witness perspective and practicing radical self-acceptance.  Truly a lifework!

Powerful words from Jean Houston in her book The Search for the Beloved:
“In times of suffering, when you feel abandoned, perhaps even annihilated, there is occurring – at levels deeper than your pain – the entry of the sacred, the possibility of redemption.  Wounding opens the doors of our sensibility to a larger reality, which is blocked by our habituated and conditioned point of view.  Consciousness that had been previously well-robotised and trained to the consensual perspective of our particular culture is excruciatingly sensitized and has a vastly extended sensorium.  Pathos give us eyes and ears to see and hear what our normal eyes and ears cannot.”

And from this place of seeing and hearing, of feeling all the feelings, of “doing a Rumi” and welcoming them all in…

… from this place we are the Wounded Healer, the Embodied Teacher, sharing a humble yet extraordinarily potent medicine with the world.

Astrological Rite of Passage:
Chiron has a roughly 50-year cycle, so when we reach 49-50 years of age, we experience what astrologers call our CHIRON RETURN.

Our Chiron Return represents a powerful call to include/integrate and transcend the stories of pain and vulnerability that have shaped us and the corresponding defensive postures which continue to constrain our full potential.

In this session we pull out key dates from your Chiron journey (throughout your life to date), enquiring into repeated themes and stories at these times in your life, listening for what soul evolution is being sung up within you, and doing our best to discover and anchor the original vision for love and connection which you brought with you when you were born.

This offering includes:
~ a 1-hour conversation via Skype or Zoom
~ a copy of your natal chart
~ link to the digital recording of our conversation

 

Written report?
You can also choose to purchase a written report.  If so, following our conversation, I’ll send you a document which contains some general information about the archetype of Chiron and anchors some of what we’ve ascertained together, in terms of how this wound/healing motif plays out in your life.  Sometimes it’s simpler to revisit the written word than to listen to a recording to find the piece of info you were after…
