Chiron Retrograde in Aries: Healing the Wounded Warrior Within ♈
See how this transit might be affecting you below!
As Chiron begins its retrograde journey in Aries, we are presented with a profound opportunity for healing and self-discovery.
For those of you who didn’t know (or forgot because there is so much happening in the cosmos constantly), Chiron has been in Aries since—wait for it—2018, and it will continue to be in Aries until 2027.
Known as the "Wounded Healer," Chiron's influence helps us confront and transform our deepest wounds, which means that whatever house Aries rules in your chart (along with any placements you may have in Aries) has been activated since 2018 and going through a deep purge of any wounding that is preventing you from moving forward with confidence.
This retrograde period, which began today, is a powerful time for introspection, allowing us to revisit and heal past traumas, and to emerge stronger and more resilient.
Chiron in Astrology: The Wounded Healer
In astrology, Chiron represents our deepest wounds and the areas of life where we may experience profound suffering. However, Chiron also symbolizes our capacity to heal these wounds and, in turn, help others through our healing journey. Its placement in our natal chart highlights where we may feel vulnerable, yet also where we have the potential for significant growth and transformation.
