How & What to Heal With Chiron

Chiron in Aries

Aries is the beginning of the Zodiac, and as such they are often tasked with leadership. If your Chiron placement is in Aries it is likely that your Chiron Wound relates to the self, your autonomy, your leadership skills, and your ability to take control. This could be due to a lack of confidence in yourself and your ability to make decisions, or it could be a result of a lack of bravery. In order to heal this wound, practice cultivating your confidence by starting with small things. Start making little decisions in your daily life and reward yourself in simple ways when things work out for you. 

If you feel like this isn’t quite applicable, you could be on the opposite side of the spectrum and struggling to release your control. You may feel the constant need to be in charge of every situation due to an underlying anxiety, and this can be incredibly stressful. Give yourself a break and allow a trusted party to take the reins now and again. Know that when you are in alignment things are always working out for you, even if you aren’t leading the situation. 

Aries is an assertive zodiac, but that assertion can mutate into aggression, especially in an unhealed person. If your Chiron Wound is in Aries it is possible that you struggle with your anger management. You could lose your head when you don’t get to lead, or when you are forced to. Learn to recalibrate yourself so that you can accept the situation and answer the call when life needs you. 

Chiron in Taurus

The Taurus zodiac takes a great pride in the comforts of the material world and often rules over home and domestic life. If your Chiron Wound is in Taurus, you may experience low self-esteem if you are not successful in any area of your life, but especially in money. This placement is a bit of a double edged sword because you also may struggle with tapping into your motivation. If you’re unable to motivate yourself to achieve the success you dream of, now is a great time to explore new ways to get motivated, and also to remember that we simply cannot always be motivated, and that is why we need to be disciplined in our pursuits. 

Chiron in Gemini

The Chiron Wound in the Gemini placement can deal with abandonment issues and the fear of being alone. Gemini is represented by the Twins, so if one part of yourself is more prevalent than the other, you may feel like you are only half of a whole. It is important to remember that this is the ego’s perspective, and that you are completely whole all by yourself. Tapping into the various parts of yourself and exploring your inner being can lead you to greater internal fulfillment. Building up your self-esteem and learning to recognize yourself as enough will help you heal this placement. One may also struggle with communication, especially the emotional kind. It may be difficult for you to share that hidden part of yourself with others, but through practice you can achieve this. Feeling seen with safe parties will add to your emotional fulfillment and give you the confidence to be yourself.

Chiron in Cancer

Chiron in Cancer is a great symbolizer of a karmic Mother Wound, and this placement may suffer from the inability to connect with female figures in their life due to a lack of feeling properly nurtured. Remember, Chiron Wounds can deal with past lives too, so even if you had an extremely attentive mother in this life, you may have had this lack in a past life, or perhaps your mother/mother figure did not attend to your needs in the way that you needed. This may result in you feeling like you cannot rely on others, creating a dissonance in your relationships. You may also struggle to create a sense of safety for yourself and in your relationships. To heal this, figure out what safety looks like to you and try to emulate it on your own before bringing it into your relationships. Connect with your inner home inside of your body and make your mind a nice place to live. Prove to yourself that you can show up for yourself by acknowledging when you do, and know that as you begin to create your own security within, you’ll be able to better offer it in your relationships. 

Chiron in Leo

Leo is ruled by the sun and as such, Leo has a natural affinity for shining their light all around, but when Chiron is in Leo, the individual may struggle with being seen. This placement often struggles with a fear of vulnerability and they may never allow their true self to come out into the world. This lack of confidence may cause them to hold themselves back from opportunities and situations they may truly enjoy and thrive in, keeping them dissonant from their true path in life and causing great unhappiness. The best way to heal this placement is to first tap into your true self, and then practice letting it out into the world. Engage in activities that you’ve always wanted to try and find safe people to express yourself to. Don’t be afraid to stand in the spotlight from time and time and allow your passions to flow. Avoid drama and practice taking accountability for yourself and your actions. You are not a victim of your own life, you are the creator of your experience. 

Chiron in Virgo

Virgo is the analytical maiden of the zodiac, but when Chiron is placed here that analysis becomes overly critical for both themselves and the world around them. This can become so intense that their view of life, others, and themselves can become extremely distorted. This overly critical approach to life can also make it very difficult to go with the flow, as a need for control to avoid discomfort becomes the governing force. In order to heal this placement, it is important that one learns to accept themselves, even when they are not perfect. Through this self-acceptance they can learn to accept others for what they are as well, creating a calmer inner world that isn’t always under pressure to change things. Practicing acceptance on a grand scale and giving up the need to control, trading it in for the ability to take life as it is can also help to heal this placement. Learning to self-reflect with acceptance and grace can be a huge help in healing through this placement. 

Chiron in Libra

Ruled by Venus and represented by the scales, Libra is all about connection and relationships. But when Chiron is placed here it can cause problems in relationships of all kinds. In order to have healthy relationships with others, we must first have one with ourselves, but Chiron in Libra often causes an individual to prioritize the needs of others long before their own. This pattern may make one wary of commitment because with their approach, committed connections can be draining. They may also be stuck on the negative things that have happened to them, unable to heal those inner rifts. This mentality keeps them from wanting to form new connections out of fear, and because they are too busy reliving their pain to create space for new relationships. 

One of the best ways to heal through this placement is to develop a solid relationship with yourself so that you have a strong foundation to build off of. 

Chiron in Scorpio

This placement is prone to the darker side of the Scorpio zodiac’s energy, while also living in extreme discomfort because of its themes. People with this placement may be extremely overactive in areas relating to sex, death, and spirituality, or wildly underactive.These people may be overly possessive and extremely jealous, creating unhealthy relationships in all areas of their lives. In order to heal this placement, develop a strong bond with the self and a healthy self esteem. This placement can also be healed through healing insecurities and creating deep bonds in connections that offer security, enough so that they can safely explore their tastes and theories. 

Chiron in Sagittarius

Those with their Chiron places in Sagittarius will likely have deep fears regarding being controlled, committed, or stuck. This placement comes with a sense of independence that can be toxic and limiting to them. They may be prone to rebellion and rule breaking as an act of proving their own autonomy. They will be hesitant to engage in deep relationships and connections out of fear of being tied down and having to compromise. To heal this placement, slowly allow yourself to engage in light commitments and work on building deeper connections with those that you trust. Remember that at the end of the day you are the only person that can control yourself and you always have your free will. Learn to set healthy boundaries and practice saying no when necessary. It would also be prudent to avoid gambling. Those with Chiron in Sagittarius are still learning how to tap into their luck and good fortune, and taking big risks may not end well for an underdeveloped Chiron placement.

Chiron in Capricorn

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, a disciplined and often cold energy that causes one to prove themselves before rewards are given. Due to this ruler, Capricorn is seen as the father of the zodiac, so a Chiron in Capricorn could point to issues with a father figure, as well as any dominant or authoritative figures in one's experience. This placement could also struggle with pouring all of their energy and emotion into their work, and may be prone to overworking themselves. Work will become an identity for this placement and separating from it will be difficult. Titles and achievements will hold a heavy weight in this individual's life, and so too will any sense of failure. In order to heal this placement, one must get comfortable with the possibility of failing from time to time and learn to separate themselves from their job titles. Finding fulfillment in other areas of life will deeply nourish the soul of a Chiron in Capricorn person. Learning how to individually heal the father wound will help greatly, and emulating better, healthier tactics when placed in leadership positions will help one shift out of overly dominant energy.

Chiron in Aquarius

Those with their Chiron in Aquarius are likely to keep themselves separate from the herd, opting instead to gain their validation through what they deem to be a worthy partnership and they generate their sense of acceptance from this outside source. Most of the time, these people will choose to avoid their emotions so that they don’t have to feel anything fully. An underdeveloped Chiron in Aquarius placement may also be prone to law breaking and destructive or toxic behaviors in order to get external attention since they don’t know how to give it to themselves. In order to heal this wound, one will have to learn to get comfortable with their emotions and figure out how to deal with them in a healthy way. It is very important for a Chiron in Aquarius placement to develop a healthy relationship with themselves and make their inner world a safe place to be. Relying on others to always fill our cup and avoiding doing it for ourselves is never healthy. We have to learn how to meet our own needs and take care of our own inner house. Self love and self acceptance is especially important to a Chiron in Aquarius healing. It would also be prudent for this individual to develop a network of friends and learn to socialize. Once they have a strong relationship within themselves they will be able to develop healthy relationships with other people, giving them a sense of genuine fulfillment and social purpose.

Chiron in Pisces

A Chiron in Pisces will struggle with detachment, disillusionment, and disassociation. Escapism is big for this placement, but will ultimately result in self-sabotage if left unchecked. This placement loves to romanticize, and this can lead them to getting swept away by their fantisies. Those with a Chiron in Pisces are likely prone to hypersensitivity as well, causing them to be a victim to their own emotions, as well as the emotions of other people. To heal through this placement, learn to set healthy boundaries and make sure that you have solid grounding practices available for use. This placement needs to engage in frequent reality checks, and learn how to deal with a reality that isn’t as good as what they have made up in their head. This placement will benefit from learning emotional control and healthy coping mechanisms. It is important that they learn to prioritize their own safety and comfort in the face of other people’s big emotions.
