Chiron Retrograde

Chiron - an asteroid often known as the 'Wounded Healer' in astrology - embarks on its retrograde journey through Aries on July 26, 2024 to December 29, 2024. This celestial event invites us to delve deeper into the art of healing our deepest wounds and learning from our vulnerabilities.

As Chiron retraces its path in the fiery sign of Aries, this period becomes a powerful time for introspection and personal growth.

In mythology, Chiron was a wise centaur who, despite being a healer, could not heal his own wound. Astrologically, Chiron represents our deepest wounds, insecurities, and vulnerabilities that shape our personal growth and healing journey. It is through addressing these painful areas that we find our strength and teach others to heal. Chiron, though a significant figure in Greek mythology, was not extensively covered by ancient philosophers in the context of astrology because the astrological aspect of Chiron was only discovered much later. Chiron was discovered in 1977, and its astrological interpretations have evolved mainly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Chiron is located between the orbits of Uranus and Saturn and is responsible for the materialization of goals. Like planets, it exhibits duality in everything. It can be a good advisor and helper, or it can aggravate old wounds as we mention above.

Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is associated with self-assertion, initiation, and the pursuit of desires. When Chiron goes retrograde in this sign, the focus shifts to issues related to our sense of self and identity. The retrograde motion prompts us to ask questions such as: 'Where am I holding back due to fear of injury?' or 'How can I assert myself in a way that is healing rather than hurtful?'
