The Sun is coming up on its annual opposition to Chiron. When two planets face off, it’s a reckoning, a critical point when something must be dealt with or a decision made. Today must look at our deep emotional pain, our knots, and our psychic wounds.
Chiron is a new addition to astrology. Although not a planet in the traditional sense, its placement in the heavens — and thus our own astrology charts — reveals a highly sensitive point that demands healing. Chiron is like a tear in the fabric of our lives, a knot of scar tissue that aches. When Chiron is activated, the story is much deeper that we realize, touching on something that runs through the core of our soul.
If you’re feeling overly sensitive about something right now, if you’ve experienced something in the last few days that has struck a nerve, how is it revealing of something you’ve been working to heal a long time? Chiron teaches us that our pain is the pain of others. Our suffering and wounds connect us to the suffering of others. Chiron also teaches us that it’s important to not personalize our pain, but see it from a collective point of view so that we can heal it for all those who suffer from the same pain. When you heal something for yourself, you offer it as a gift for humanity.
PS — I’m teaching a workshop in New York City on September 26 and by a webinar on September 30 titled “Facing Saturn — How to Find Maturity and Purpose at Any Age“. It’s a look at the different points in our life when we have to face Saturn. If you’re 28-30 years old, this workshop is especially for you. You’re going through the “Saturn Return,” an initiation that happens for everyone when Saturn literally returns to the spot in the sky it occupied at the moment you were born after 29 long years.
If you’re in New York City, the workshop is on Tuesday, September 26 at 7 pm eastern in Manhattan for $40 USD. I’m doing a webinar version for those of you who are outside of New York on Saturday, September 30 at 2 pm eastern for $30 USD including the mp3 recording. It doesn’t matter how much astrology you know. I’ll break things down and show you how to gain a deeper understanding of what you came here to work on and achieve in your life. Email empoweringastrology@gmail.com to register. Please let me know if you’re interested in the NYC workshop or the webinar.
