Chiron on my Mind
The Anatomy of Wounding and Healing
Martin Lass ©1997
“If the Universe is a cosmic symphony, then we are the music and healing is our ascending melody.”
Prelude to the Discovery
There is an ancient North American prophecy that says that when
the planet of healing is discovered in the sky, this is when the sacred
warrior teachings will return to the Earth. I believe that this prophecy
is now being fulfilled. Some of these ancient teachings will be presented
in what follows.
The period of time leading up to the discovery of Chiron—its
birth, so to speak—was unprecedented in recent history and not equalled
in the next two hundred years in terms of the frequency of aspects of Chiron
and the other outer planets. Uranus and Pluto, and to a lesser degree
Saturn and Neptune, set the scene for Humanity’s awakening to Chiron, thus
allowing its discovery to take place. Perhaps the most striking aspect
was the 41 oppositions of Uranus and Chiron between 1952 and 1989.
In the middle of that we had Chiron in opposition to Pluto 11 times between
1961 and 1965. In the latter years of 1965, ‘66 and ’67, Pluto conjuncted
Uranus in opposition to Chiron conjunct Saturn… a kind of dance went on
that sent the world as we knew it into turmoil: the sixties.
In a sense, the Uranus oppositions were helping to throw light
upon Chiron—upon the unresolved, un-addressed and unacknowledged painful
issues of Humanity at the time… personal and global. This aspect
appears in the natal charts of many people who have a calling to heal—either
self or others or both. Uranus does not let us hide our painful unresolved
issues. The answer is to fight, escape or deal with them. More
on this later…
Pluto’s opposition was a call to Humanity to wake up to the universe
beyond Saturn—the place where our collective conscious was stuck.
It is no accident that on the very day that Chiron was discovered—November
1, 1977—that Pluto and the North Node (destiny and evolution) were exactly
conjunct in Libra on the Midheaven. The Virgo to Libra journey is
one of the essences of Chiron’s message and rulership as we shall see.
(See figure 1.)
Saturn’s part, in conjunction to Chiron in those mid sixties,
was to point the way beyond the fixed and dead structures of social, moral,
political and psychological forms that had outlived their purpose.
Personal responsibility needed to supersede authoritarian control—hence
the breaking down of all these old paradigms by the youth of the sixties.
A quantum leap of consciousness was needed, but it was necessary to leap
into the void first, not knowing where it would take us. This was
the shaman’s journey of the Spirit into the underworld or overworld—a leap
into the void beyond Saturn, in search of the next step. The scene
was set for the discovery of Chiron.
Neptune’s part, in trine to Chiron from 1963 to 1968, was to
whisper of the possibility of finding Unconditional Love—to connect our
hearts to the actuality of Love, Oneness and Divine Grace. The catch-call
of the sixties, ‘Make love, not war!’ expressed this inner striving.
The Wounded Healer
After Chiron’s discovery in 1977, it was not long before the
mythology of Chiron and the symbol of the wounded healer became associated
with planetoid Chiron’s influence. Let’s quickly recap these themes
so that we can build upon them for our subsequent understanding of Chiron.
In the myth, Chiron was the offspring of Kronos (Saturn) and
Philyra the nymph. He was born a centaur—upper half man and lower
half horse. His mother was so disgusted by his appearance that she
abandoned him. Chiron never knew his father and was subsequently
fostered by Apollo, god of the Sun, music, prophecy, poetry and healing.
In the various versions of the myth, Chiron was either wounded in the leg
by others or accidentally wounded himself. In both cases the wound
was considered incurable. Chiron, being immortal, was doomed to suffer
his incurable wound for eternity. However, through an extraordinary
arrangement, he traded his immortality—and thus his suffering—for the release
of the god, Prometheus. Prometheus had stolen fire from the other
gods and given it as a gift to Humanity. For this Zeus chained him
to a rock, and set loose a monstrous griffon upon him, that pecked out
his liver daily (after it grew back each night). Chiron pleaded Prometheus’
case to Zeus who eventually agreed to the exchange. Prometheus was
released and Chiron died. The gift of fire is symbolic of the gift
of consciousness, which, in the 20th century, finds expression in the search
for alternative paths of spiritual growth and healing. As we strive
for this growth and healing, we symbolically reincarnate Chiron within
us, healing the incurable wound.
Replete within these myths are all the foundation stones for
the understanding of Chiron, the planetoid/asteroid/comet. Perhaps
the most important of these symbols is the symbols of the wounded healer.
The centaur is on a journey of a healing reconnection of earthy self and
heavenly self. The abandoned Chiron is on a healing journey of reconnection
to his mother’s love and to his missing father, both to be found eventually
within himself. The incurable wound, combined with the foster father
of Apollo, god of healing, sets him on a journey of healing—to learn the
healing arts and practice upon others, his own incurable wound driving
him ceaselessly. The exchange with Prometheus is the mythical journey
into the under or over world—to go beyond the perceived limitations of
ordinary life to find the answer to the healing quest. Chiron’s subsequent
re-incarnation into the heavenly body between Saturn and Uranus is the
finale to the story, the message now clear for all to see in the skies.
Ultimately, his journey is the journey that every one of us is on—the journey
of reconnection to our divine origins. The wounding can be seen to
be our incarnation process itself and the disconnection from divinity (Oneness)
into duality (fragmentation). The healing journey is a journey towards
greater wholeness, greater integrity, greater Oneness and greater Love—back
towards our divine origins.
Other Themes
Briefly, some of the other themes that revolve around Chiron
are:
· The Fall from Grace, the casting out from the garden of Eden
and the Resurrection back to God.
· The journey from Lemuria (un-self-actualised union with divinity)
to Atlantis (the height of Materiality and disconnection from divinity)
back to a new Lemuria (self-actualised union with divinity).
· Divination—the quantum leap of insight required to move from
dualistic illusion into unified understanding (Love).
· The Shamanic journey—to walk into darkness, seeking the light
on the other side.
· Joining Heaven and Earth into Paradise.
· The Rainbow Bridge—rejoining the polarised colours of the
spectrum (our dualistic illusion of reality) into white Light (unity, Love,
consciousness).
There are, of course, more themes, but limitations of space here prevent us from exploring all of them. Get the book when it comes out!
“The path of healing lies through the wound, not around it.”-
Chiron.The Anatomy of Wounding
My understanding of Chiron has grown layer by layer. To
relate this understanding, it is necessary to work from the top down.
In this way, the purely astrological considerations will come at the end…
humour my Uranian perversity!
To understand the wounding process we need to explore a few Universal
Laws and to look at the incarnation process itself. Firstly, the
whole of Creation can be described as a cycle of Oneness to Many-ness (the
Big Bang) and back to Oneness (evolution). (See diagram 2.)
This is called the cosmogonic cycle.
Physicists describe the descent from Energy (Spirit) into Matter
as the Big Bang. From the initial explosion (“let there be light”),
primary particles split into sub-particles and these in turn split into
sub-sub-particles and so on until we have the universe as we know it: a
sea of sub-atomic quantum particles. So this part of the cosmogonic
cycle hold true—from One to Many.
The return from Many to One is the inexorable march of the evolution
of life and consciousness in the universe. From a chaotic sea of
particles, complexity, order and intelligence arise (from where?!) to create
greater and greater life forms, each subsequent evolutionary step being
more intelligent and more capable of self-actualised consciousness.
Turning to the next diagram (diagram 3.), we see the cosmogonic
cycle expressed in the process of incarnation and ex-carnation (evolution).
From the Soul Seed, at the magnetosphere of the solar system, we descend
into matter, fragmenting as we go, into many personas. From here
we go through our cycles of incarnation, gradually raising our consciousness
through each of the seven astral planes until we rejoin with the Sun (self-actualised
consciousness). From here we continue to expand our consciousness
until we eventually rejoin with the Soul Seed (soul mate) at the edge of
the solar system (magnetosphere). It is worth pondering here that
our spiritual journey is literally an astronomical journey.
The process of raising our consciousness is the process of fusing
(alchemy) fragments (personas) into greater unity and integrity—to rejoin
all the disconnected parts of ourselves into a unity of consciousness:
our One true being. All the little personas represent dualities:
lies, illusions, stances, emotions, judgements, etc. that we have accumulated
through the incarnation process itself which, by the way, does not end
until about the age of 36. From here, the process of the breakdown
of form in preparation for the return to Spirit becomes accelerated—ex-carnation.
(No more mothers’ milk! Bad joke…)
Disease or wounding is synonymous with the process of incarnation—gradual
fragmentation and disconnection from the unity of our divine origins.
The longer we remain stuck in any issue (duality, illusion, lie, stance,
emotion, judgement) the more likely it will descend into grosser and grosser
matter, eventually manifesting as physical disease.
Creation and Dualised Consciousness
Looking at the next diagram (diagram 4.) we see the detail of
the actual process of Creation (the descent into matter).
White light splits into particle and anti-particle (electron and positron).
These sub-particles are called fermions. Every fermion has a charge
and as such attracts and repels other fermions. For every fermion
in existence there is an anti-fermion corresponding to it. These
pairs of fermions seek each other for their eventual rejoining into less
polarised light. These pairs, in spiritual terms, are called soul-mates.
From the point of view of our psychology, each splitting into
an fermion pair represents a perception. At the point of perception,
two personas are birthed—persona and anti-persona, so to speak. Each
persona is an emotion, illusion, half-truth, lie, stance or judgement.
The process of multiple splitting of particles of light into sub-particles
creates our very consciousness. Consciousness is a cloud of charged
particles of polarised light (fermions).
As we said above, each perception that we have births two personas.
Of these two personas, one expresses pain and the other expresses pleasure,
one says more pain than pleasure and the other says more pleasure than
pain, one says more wrong than right and the other says more right than
wrong. The pain/pleasure duality is the primary illusion that we
live under. In actuality, pain and pleasure are always equally balanced
throughout our lives. Our Lower Mind, however, judges one to be greater
than the other. It perceives all things in terms of such dualities.
The most basic animal urge right down to the cellular level is the seek
pleasure and avoid pain.
Of these two personas that express pain and pleasure, wrong and right,
evil and good, black and white respectively, one is expressed in our consciousness
and the other is repressed in our consciousness. The determination
of which one becomes expressed and which one becomes repressed is entirely
due to the planetary influences of our natal chart.
The result in us, as a cloud of charged particles of light, is
an expressed or light side of our nature and a repressed or dark side.
All psychology stems from this fact.
The Wound Defined
What we perceive and call a wound in our lives is an expressed
persona of pain, wrong-doing, imbalance and judgement. The Lower
Mind here says, ‘more pain than pleasure, more wrong than right, more evil
than good, more black than white’ with respect to an event, issue, circumstance
or person. (See diagram 5.)
The repressed persona that holds the other side of the perception is hidden within us. Chiron says that there is a Gift in every Wound. Our expressed perception of pain takes us on a journey of healing… a journey to reconnect with the repressed persona (ion). Our perception of what is missing in our lives or what needs fixing or setting right, what needs re-balancing or healing takes us on a journey… in the process we become who we are: we become that which we are Divinely Designed to be.
“The nature and placement of the wound determines the path of Service.”- Chiron To repeat, the expressed persona, in this case the perception of more pain than pleasure, more wrong than right, more evil than good, more black than white, takes us on a quest to rejoin with the repressed persona that holds the key to the true perception of what took place at the moment the wounding occurred. Our personas are fermions on a quest… quest-ions… questions. When we reconnect with the repressed personas, healing takes place and our questions are answered. At the moment of healing there is the Silence of Love, a moment of greater Light. (See diagram 6.)
In diagram 5. we see evolution and the healing process as expressed
through particle physics of light. The two fermions—particle and
anti-particle—when bombarded against each other, annihilate each other
and birth a new particle of light: a photon. This is referred to
as the Collapse in physics. The photon is greater in light than the
previous two particles that it was created from—greater in light, greater
in consciousness, greater in Love, closer to Truth, closer to Oneness,
more whole, integrated and healed.
Taking this picture into psychological terms, when our expressed persona
meets its repressed anti-persona and we stand in the light of greater truth
about the nature of our wound or issue, this persona pair fuses into one,
collapsing our previous illusions. We thus birth greater truth, greater
wholeness, greater consciousness, greater light and greater love… in short,
we heal. Is the picture becoming clear?
The light that we speak about in physics is the same Light that
we speak about when talking about consciousness and spirituality.
It is not just a metaphor—it is actuality. Physicists are now convinced
that all matter is nothing more and nothing less than polarised light.
The task of evolution is to turn all the matter in the universe back into
energy (Spirit). Einstein’s equation E=MC2 says that to reach the
speed of light (total consciousness, total love) that we would need to
transform the entire mass of the universe into energy! At the speed
of light, relatively speaking, time stops and space condenses to a point.
In other words, the most basic of our illusions of reality—the illusions
of space and time—dissolve when we reach total consciousness. In
this state, we are non-locally connected to everything in the universe
in the moment of NOW. The illusions of abandonment, separation, aloneness,
dysfunction, loss, death all dissolve into the awareness of Oneness, Light
and Love.
The Planetary Journey
So where does Chiron fit into this picture? If healing
is nothing less than the journey back to the consciousness of Love and
Oneness then where does Chiron stand? Consider our evolutionary and
healing journey to be a gradual expansion of consciousness that begins
in the womb. When we are born, we come under planetary influence
from smaller to greater concentric spheres of consciousness represented
by the smallest to largest orbits of the planets themselves. We begin
with the Moon—its orbit is closest to the Earth. Then we trace a
journey through our lives through the issues of Venus, Mars, Mercury, Sun,
Asteroids, Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto/Charon, in
that order.
The planetary issues are, in order:
· Earth Incarnation
· Moon Nurture, protection, flight or fight
· Venus Feeling nature, attraction/repulsion (ions)
· Mars Physical, action, self-will, drive (of ions)
· Mercury Thinking, association, variety of experience
· Sun Will, self-actualisation potential
· Asteroids Connecting male/female, right/left brain,
etc.
· Jupiter The calling, the dream, the outward journey
· Saturn Personal responsibility, the end of blame
· Chiron Healing, Gratitude, the Gift in the Wound
· Uranus beyond paradox, the divine plan, higher
understanding
· Neptune Love, Oneness, reconnected to divine origins
· Pluto/Charon new cycle, next issue, portal to galactic
consciousness
The Healing Journey
Our greatest wounds—our greatest voids—take us on a journey of
healing, a journey of evolution. Our greatest voids determine our
greatest values—that which we seek. In the process, we become who
we are—we uncover our Divine Design. There are no accidents in the
universe—no mistakes, no injustice, no imbalances. That’s right…
there are no imbalances. The universe is, always was and ever shall
be in perfect balance. It is our perception of the universe, of our
lives and of ourselves that is out of balance. The process of healing
is the process of re-balancing our perceptions by seeking the repressed
personas of our expressed wounds and coming to the realisation that, in
the process of seeking, we have become what we were meant to be… our unique
Service to the Creation. What a miracle!
“Healing is the gradually awakening to the perfection of your life.”-
Chiron Simply put, when we learn to Love everything about our lives,
including our wounds, by seeing the implicate order, the perfection, the
balance and beauty of it all, we heal… we grow… we evolve. Anything
that we don’t love in our lives runs our lives (ions driving us on a quest
for reconnection to their respective anti-ions). We become the master
and co-creator of anything that we love in our lives.
Astrologically speaking, the orbit of Chiron is where Humanity’s
collective consciousness is right now. We stand on the threshold
of acknowledging the Universe beyond Saturn. We stand at the threshold
of the Aquarian/Uranian Age. This threshold is the threshold between
the lower and upper hemispheres of the zodiac—from the ‘inner’ world to
the acknowledgement and rejoining with the ‘outer’ world. That threshold
is the threshold from Virgo to Libra and from Virgo to Pisces, from the
6th to the 7th houses and from the 6th to the 12th houses.
Saturn says that we need to stop blaming others and outside circumstances
for our wounds and unresolved issues and look seriously at what part we
played in the creation of these wounds and issues. Chiron says that
it was all part of the plan into which we were born. When we unveil
the magnificence and perfection of that plan, seeing the Service, benefit
and Gift in the wound or issue, we come to a state of Gratitude for what
is. We come to a state of Gratitude that the universe is exactly
the way it is—that we are exactly the way we are. And it is Gratitude
that takes us to Love.
“Gratitude is the levitative force that allows us to break through
the barrier of our present concentric sphere of consciousness. Gratitude
is the key that opens the gateway to our heart. Gratitude is nothing
more than our acknowledging God’s perfect balance. Gratitude takes
us to Love.”- Dr. John F. DemartiniIn the Chart
So we finally come to the astrological stuff! Simply put,
Chiron in the chart points to the place of our greatest expressed wound—expressed
consciously or unconsciously as part of our personality pattern.
Remember that the wound is a perception. Actuality says that there
was no imbalance at the point of wounding. The illusion of imbalance
is what takes us on our journey. The Chiron position in the chart
is the place where our greatest drive to seek the answers to our existence
comes from. Ultimately, our greatest wound is the perception of our
disconnection from divinity.
Our Chiron position points to what we feel is missing in our lives,
to what needs fixing, correcting, re-balancing and healing. It takes
us on a quest, the outcome of which is to become who we are Divine Designed
to become. Our greatest wound becomes our greatest gift. Our
greatest void becomes our greatest value. All other wounds and unresolved
issues revolve around the original wound or issue. Chiron’s placement
in our natal chart determines our particular and unique path of Service.
It takes us on a journey to discover and uncover our calling, our mission,
our dream in life. That calling or mission or dream is the very thing
that, in our Heart of Hearts, we would love to do more than anything else
in the world. This is the highest potential for the entire pattern
of our natal chart. When we connect with this calling, we know we
are on purpose, on track and experience it as Love. Every person
on the planet has such a calling, mission and dream. The degree to
which our calling can shine is the degree to which we have healed and the
degree to which our consciousness has risen in our cycles of incarnation.
The sign in which Chiron appears determines the nature of the
wound and the house determines the area of life in which that wound and
its accompanying Gift of Service is acted out. We seek to fix, heal,
correct, re-balance in the outside world, corresponding to the house placement,
that which reflects our own inner need for the same.
In Aspect
The most acutely placed Chiron in terms of aspects brings the
calling to heal—self and/or others. In my vast collection of case
histories, Chiron conjunctions and oppositions to other major chart points
bring out the greatest drive and calling to heal. The classic arrangement
for many ‘called’ healers that I have seen is Chiron opposition to Uranus
T-squaring the Sun. Another is Chiron conjunct Sun or North Node.
Recently I have started to attract clients from the difficult era of the
mid-sixties with Chiron in opposition to Pluto often with Pluto conjunct
Uranus in Virgo. These people are set to take the highest message
of Chiron to Humanity—to carry the new paradigm of healing into the new
millennium. Chiron conjunct, opposite or squaring other planetary
points brings out different aspects of wounding and healing—different lessons
of Love.
In Transit
Chiron transiting the natal points brings to light the unresolved
and unhealed issues of those points giving the opportunity to heal and
resolve the issues associated with them. For example, Chiron transiting
Venus in the 7th house will bring unhealed and unresolved issues of relationship,
past and present to the fore, inner-ly or outer-ly depending upon the direction
of the transit (direct or retrograde). The degree of readiness to
confront the pain of these issues will determine the actual healing that
takes place.
Planetary transits to Chiron activate the core wounding issues
in our lives. Obviously, the slower the transiting planet, the more
impact this will have. For example, Saturn transiting will be asking
us to take responsibility for our wounds and unresolved painful issues.
Uranus will try to give us a glimpse of the higher understanding of our
wounds. Neptune will try to awaken us to the possibility of reconnecting
with love and light beyond the pain of the wound. Pluto transiting
Chiron will give the wound a mighty shake and try to get us to turn our
current understanding of it upside-down. Chiron transiting Chiron
always encourages us to find the path of healing one way or another.
The Symbolism of Chironic Issues
Often the wounds are perceived to be so painful or so deeply
buried that in order to approach them at all it is necessary to approach
through a buffer, so to speak. The symbolism of archetypes, dreams
and ‘past-life’ therapy offer this kind of stepping stone. To describe
a wound in terms of a ‘past-life’ experience can help clients to connect
with the issues in a roundabout way. For example, a Pisces retrograde
Chiron could be described as a nun in a nunnery doing her service to God
by helping children and the destitute, by giving aid to the poor and helping
the less fortunate. Then along comes a band of marauding pirates
and rapes and murders the children before raping and murdering the nuns
themselves. Such a scenario describes the wound of a loss of faith
in divinity—how could a merciful, just, compassionate and loving God allow
such a thing to occur? The symbol accurately describes the perceptual
feeling of this wound. The actual circumstances of a person’s life
that led to such a perception can be quite different. However, emphatically,
the circumstances will always be found in the current lifetime. It
is not necessary to go into past lives for the origins of any wounds.
To maintain the belief that the origin is in past lives beyond the usefulness
of this kind of thinking is to perpetuate a condition whereby total healing
is not reached.
Similarly, dreams, such as my own described above, can give a
clue to where to look for the origins of a wound. The use of psychological
archetypes, whether coupled with astrology or more traditional therapy
can also provide this type of stepping stone.
A New Approach to the Reading Process
One of the greatest Gifts that Chiron brings us is the realisation
that nothing in our lives or in the lives of our friends, family, acquaintances
or clients needs fixing! We are all perfect as we are, all on a journey
of evolution towards greater consciousness and Love. Whatever lessons
we are experiencing right now are the right lessons for us.
In terms of reading the natal chart for clients, if we begin
with the realisation and acknowledgement that this person sitting in front
of us is perfect already then it becomes our task to unveil that perfection
to our own eyes and to the eyes of the client through the reading process.
The very unveiling of the magnificence, balance, beauty, harmony and perfection
of our lives is itself the healing process. Whether we call ourselves
healers or not, we astrologers are truly healers gifted with a blessed
calling.
A Miscellany of Chironic Titbits!
Here are some interesting observations, facts and opinions that
you can chew on in your leisure time…
· When Chiron conjuncts the North Node a new batch of healers
passes through their graduation ceremony. This conjunction in February
1969 at 0o Aries birthed the forerunners of the new healing paradigm—this
was a new beginning. They knew not where they were going but leap
out into the void anyway in true Aries fashion! The conjunction of
July 1984 in Gemini birthed a collection of channellers relaying messages
of wisdom from higher spheres of consciousness—quantum leap stuff.
The conjunction of July 1996 in Libra birthed a group of healers to challenge
the idea of dysfunction in relationship—to bring a new way of dealing with,
understanding and healing the wounds of relationship and interactions of
people in general. The conjunction of June 2008 in Aquarius will
be the beginning of the next step of the healing of Humanity’s wounds towards
itself—one world.
· Chiron conjuncted Pluto in 1941, midway through WW2.
The Jews were the focal point of the expressed persona of this event.
What was the repressed persona? What was the Gift of Service?
Interestingly, the next Chiron conjunct Pluto occurs on the 30th of December,
1999—Nostradamus’ date for the ‘descent of the Red Terror from the skies!’
· Chiron rulership was initially put in Sagittarius due to the
superficial connection of the horse and the mythical centaur. Gradually
the rulership has become more accepted to be in Virgo, due to the healing
nature of this sign—connecting all the bits, the details, the persona fragments
into a more unified picture. However, this does not complete the
picture. The healing process, as we have discussed above, consists
of returning, in our consciousness, to a more balanced perception of ourselves
and the world around us. This perception is closer to the actuality
of Creation which is always in perfect balance. This process corresponds
to Libra and the transition from the lower to the upper hemisphere of our
zodiac journey. Furthermore, the journey from fragmentation and dissociation
(Virgo), synthesising and healing all the separated parts back into Unity,
Oneness and Love is the journey from Virgo to Pisces, Neptune and the 12th
house. Food for thought!
· Chiron sits in our physiology in several main places.
Primarily it sits between the third chakra (solar plexus), which is the
seat of the Lower Mind and of our dualistic perceptions and the fourth
chakra (the heart), which is the seat of our Higher Mind and portal to
the Soul that knows Truth, Oneness and Unconditional Love. The path
of healing is the alchemical transformation of our Lower-Minded dualistic
perceptions into the awareness of unity and Love—the opening of the heart.
Chiron also sits in the static loops of our neurology where we are stuck
in lop-sided perceptions (illusions, lies, emotions, personas, stances,
judgements). The longer our neurology remains in an unbalanced state
as a result of our lop-sided perceptions, the more likely the stuck issue
will result in hormonal, chemical, electrical and finally cellular dysfunction—disease.
The purpose of disease is to wake us up to what we are not loving in our
lives—to those things about which we have a lop-sided perception.
· Chiron will oppose its own natal position (1977) on 29th September
this year (1997) in Scorpio. (See diagram 7.)
This pays homage to Pluto when it conjuncted the North Node at Chiron’s
birth into our consciousness in 1977. The balance of signs at this
opposition transit is heavily weighted towards Libra, Virgo and Scorpio.
Mercury conjuncts the Node in Virgo… the messenger of healing broadcasting
to the world. The Moon also sits in Virgo in its balsamic phase.
This expresses the destiny of healing—a prophecy of the future. The
Sun is in Libra, transiting Chiron’s natal 9th house, expressing the wisdom
of the new day—a new paradigm in healing, psychology, human relations,
function/dysfunction… a new understanding of the balance that is implicate
within our lives and the lives of those with whom we interact. As
this time approaches, look for the new paradigm that stresses the power
of Gratitude—the power that seeing the perfection of our lives has to heal
and transform our lives, carrying us towards true Unconditional Love.
· Physicists know that all things have fields of energy around
them and that these fields extend to infinity. Our consciousness
is the boundary of what we have loved about ourselves and our lives and
that which we have not yet loved. If we are an infinite field of
consciousness, interacting with the infinite fields of consciousness of
the planets, then where do we end and the planets begin? The planets
are as much within us as they are outside of us. And they are alive,
sentient and able to be communicated with if we can find the right frequency…
just like a radio station. The illusion of separation is just that…
an illusion. Chiron’s message augurs the expanding awareness of the
holographic universe where all things are acknowledged to be connected
beyond space and time.
*
“The wound that Chiron can help us heal is the wound where we are
split from ourselves… where we suffer a sense of separation and lack of
Unity… of Oneness… of Wholeness.
The wound is a gift, an opportunity in this life to bring together
that which is apart—that which lies apart from us—that which lies within
the dark.
There is a lie involved in this dark. The lie that says there
is any aspect of ourselves which is not worthy of the Light.
The belief that we have taken on—that we are not worthy, that there
is an aspect that we should be ashamed of… an emotion, a thought, a feeling,
an idea, an aspect of our uniqueness… a difference that sets us apart from
others—is what causes a wound of separation.
Sometimes the wound is obvious and the dis-ease is clear.
Sometimes the wound is covered over—the dis-ease is still within our system
but we cannot find the cause.
Chiron says, I offer you the opportunity to see with loving compassion
all that you are… to see the two sides of the wound and that which lies
in between so you may be reconciled with yourselves and others… so you
may re-connect, re-member, re-surrect the God within.
Then you will see yourselves as I see you… Whole, Perfect and Joyous…
Children of God… Graced… Never apart… Never separate… Never a-lone but
all-one. I offer at-one-ment. The healing. The soothing.
The blessing. It is my service, my role, my choice. What is
your choice?”- Rickie Hilder, channelling Chiron.*
