He was the son of the Titan god Cronus and the nymph Philyra.
Chiron Represents Pain & Healing In Astrology
Chiron is named after a centaur in Greek mythology who was famed
for his teaching and healing abilities.
Ironically, even with all his wisdom and healing power,
Chiron could not heal himself from the wound of a poison arrow,
which caused him chronic pain —
that’s where the comet’s nickname “wounded healer” is derived from.
Just its namesake’s mythology alludes to,
Chiron represents the deep sources of pain, suffering, and wounding in our life.
It’s our soft spot; the part of us that feels wounded, sensitive, and vulnerable.
But Chiron isn’t just about pain.
This minor planet also represents the great potential
we have to heal ourselves others through our own painful experiences
and turn them into spiritual growth.
Ultimately, Chiron in astrology shows us how to learn from our pain
and use it as a source of strength.
It teaches us that our deepest and most sensitive wounds can actually be a bridge
to the most profound forms of healing —
for ourselves and for others.
Going through difficult things and overcoming them can often
make us more sympathetic, and that’s what Chiron is all about.
It symbolizes our ability turn our pain into power.
Chiron enters retrograde on July 15. (today)
Retrogrades inspire us to take our wounds and turn them into
portals of strength and wisdom.
As the poet Rumi says
the wound is where the light enters you.
Some wounds cut so deep that they never
truly leave us, but this is ok.
We don’t have to be a neatly wrapped package
in order to lead the best life possible.
We can use this retrograde energy
not to sugar-coat our wounds,
but to recognize that they very often lead us
to the path of our destiny.
