Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in Pisces Once Again

Chiron in Pisces, a signature of the 1960's generation, is once again in the sign of compassion, intuition, medicine, healing, and spirituality, as well as the sign of disillusionment and addiction. For the next eight years, from May 2010 thru May of 2018, Chiron influences us from the mystical and sensitive realms of Neptune's domain.

Collectively, I foresee science, medicine, healing, and spirituality, all tributaries of Pisces, merging during this time, birthing Quantum Physics full fledged into the collective paradigm. Many additional factors will play into the next eight years as well, namely Neptune's ingress into Pisces, and the ongoing dance of Uranus, Pluto and Saturn. These next eight years also ushers in "Chiron Returns" for the Chiron in Pisces generation of the 1960's (those born 60-68), offering them another opportunity to heal, integrate and become the channels of light they were born to be. Before we go into that let's keep it simple and learn about Chiron and Pisces.

Here's the short version of Chiron's mythology. Chiron, fathered by Kronus (Saturn) and the nymph, Philyra, was born half-man, half-horse, due to Philyra turning herself into a mare to quickly flee Kronus's advances. In turn, Kronus turned himself into a stallion and soon conquered and raped Philyra, and Chiron was conceived. Upon Chiron's birth Philyra was abhorred by Chiron's appearance and thus rejected and abandoned him. Fortunately, Apollo the Sun God adopted parentless Chiron and taught him to be a healer.

As an immortal God, Chiron was a great astrologer and oracle who initiated healers. . .and sacred warriors. He was the teacher of Asclepios and many others, and was accidentally wounded by one of Hercules poisoned arrows (drenched with the blood of the monster Hydra). Severely wounded, with no known cure to heal the curse of Hydra's gore, Chiron was unable to heal and unable to die, as he was born immortal. Distressed by the pain Hercules caused Chiron, Hercules set out to help him and made a deal with Zeus, who then helped Hercules to free Prometheus, chained to a rock by Zeus for stealing fire from Olympia, and ultimately Chiron too.

Everyday an eagle came and ate Prometheus' liver and everyday it grew back. Prometheus' fate was tied and his freedom was bound by Zeus' request that only an immortal could take his place. Hercules had Chiron trade places with Prometheus' (which freed the element of fire) and finally Chiron died and was released from his unending wound, and became a star in the constellation Sagittarius.

This story speaks to the power of the willingness to die to our wounds to be freed. Some of our wounds seem to be fully ingrained and never ending stories, yet when we work with Chiron very consciously, we will see we too can be freed by choosing metaphorical death~metamorphosis I call it.

The word Kheiron derived from the Greek, and means hand or skilled with the hands, and kheirourgos, the surgeon.

Discovered in 1977, Chiron acts as the rainbow bridge between our earthly existence~our bodies, gravity, structures (Saturn) and our transpersonal (Uranus) higher selves. Master of the subtle realms, Chiron, energetically bridges these two worlds, through the solar plexus/causal body, so we may access the healer within. Consciously working with Chiron, we, personally and collectively, become conduits and conductors of the healing of wounds. First our own and then others.

Chiron's entry into sign of the ocean, first, brings our attention to the importance of water. So before we look at what Chiron's symbolic nature, let's look at water's. Water represents, first, the life blood of our planet, the swimming seas of our underwater friends, and secondly the life blood of our bodies, we cannot live without it unless one is a true master. Metaphysically water represents our emotions. We all know when our feelings rise to the surface they can flood our hearts and souls. Cleansing and purifying, the force of water

There is such a thing a energetic attachments, cording, and . And no generation knows it better than ours, Pisces is made of the sticky gray stuff, that draws, like a moth to a flame, to discordant energy which can be found in chronic drug and alcohol use, abusive relationships/situations, even TV!
