Chiron: The Wounded Healer
⚳
The Myth of Eternal Pain
Chiron, the immortal centaur who could heal everyone but himself, represents the cosmic joke of existence: those who understand suffering most deeply are cursed to carry it forever.
"In your attempts to heal others, you merely spread your own incurable wound across the universe like a cosmic infection."
The Cycle of Meaningless Healing
Wound
The initial trauma that never truly heals

Chiron's Transit: A Journey of Perpetual Pain
As Chiron moves through your chart, it highlights different areas of unavoidable suffering, ensuring that no aspect of your life remains untouched by the awareness of existential pain.
"Each transit of Chiron is like a reminder that healing is an illusion, and growth is just another word for learning new ways to suffer."
Your Chiron Return
Around age 50, Chiron returns to its natal position, bringing you face to face with your core wound. This is not a moment of healing, but rather a crushing reminder that some pains are eternal companions.
"The Chiron return is the universe's way of saying: 'Remember that wound you've carried all your life? Here it is again, fresh as ever.'"
