The Myth of Chiron describes the characteristics of nobility among beasts. The half-man, half-horse Centaurs were known as lusty and wild. Although Chiron was a centaur, he was civilized and a treasured teacher to the warrior Achilles and the bringer of medicine Asclepius, among others.
Chiron's story begins with rejection from his mother, Philyra, who asks to be transformed into a tree rather than live with the monster she gave birth to. Chiron's father, Zeus, also rejects Chiron, denying that Chiron is his son. The pain of this early betrayal and abandonment frames how Chiron is used in astrology. Chiron is associated with wounds that don't heal. Chiron's noble life frames another element of this astrological archetype - how accepting that vulnerability can result in having compassion and strength to offer others.
It's difficult to toss Chiron concepts into to readings. I'm always happy to share the positive indicators that I see in a chart. I'm also aware that life is big - and hard to get through without loss or pain. Sometimes, Chiron's placement in the chart can offer context for a source of pain that has been resistant to improved habits, positive thinking, or even denial. When that is the case, discovering the context of ongoing, personal pain can be an immense source of relief and lead to acceptance of oneself on a deeper level.
Humans are not perfect. Seeing your own flaws with compassion, embracing them - can prevent projecting these same flaws on others. With acceptance, you can ultimately provide healing for those around you. That's the opportunity when working with Chiron in your chart.
The shift to Pisces indicates an opportunity to bring more compassion to how you engage in life. Other manifestations could include identifying with a victim mentality, blaming yourself or others for weakness and seeing the worst in others.
Where the sign of Pisces is in your chart will describe the effect of this transit. Someone with a Pisces Sun, for example, may feel a return of old wounds (which may appear to be new wounds) or may pick up other's pain more easily during this time. Likewise, a Virgo Sun placement may indicate a difficulty in identifying with one's own pain or sympathizing with other's, due to the opposition to Chiron. Still others may not feel an effect, if the Pisces placement doesn't touch their personal planets. Chiron will be in Pisces through April 2018, during this transit there may be a dramatic change in how we approach healing altogether.
