What is Chiron? 

In 1977, astronomers discovered a small planetary body orbiting between Saturn and Uranus. They named it Chiron.

 

In Greek mythology, Chiron was a centaur, half human, half horse, who carried a wound that never fully healed. What makes his story worth telling isn't the wound itself, it's what he did with it. He became one of the most respected healers and teachers of his time, training some of mythology's greatest figures, all while living with an injury he could never cure in himself. He couldn't heal his own wound. He became a master at healing everyone else's.

 

That's where the name Wounded Healer comes from, and it's the idea astrologers borrowed when they started reading Chiron in a birth chart. Wherever Chiron falls in your chart marks the place where an old wound and a real gift live side by side, the same way they did for Chiron himself.

 

Your Chiron placement isn't a flaw to fix. It's more like a key, a way in, to a pattern that's ready to be seen, a season of real change, or a wound that's finally ready to become something more useful than a scar. Working with it doesn't make the wound disappear. It's closer to what Chiron himself learned: until it stops being the thing that holds you back, and starts being the thing you understand better than almost anyone.

 

 

The key to healing pain is not found outside ourselves, but within. When we understand our own energetics makeup, we connect with the totality of who we are, and we begin to master our attributes through the power of alchemy. 

 

 

 

Chiron in LIBRA reading

If Chiron falls in Libra in your chart, you have a need to find harmony and fulfillment regarding issues of the heart, especially concerning your personal relationships. You possess a strong desire for equality and respect, and a tendency towards optimism. Justice and liberty are integral to the way you interact with the world, and you are often greatly impacted by injustices that occur in your life, as well as in the world in general.

 

The Old Echo

Libra Chiron often carries an old disappointment around fairness, a sense that someone you trusted didn't treat you the way you deserved, and you adjusted yourself to keep the peace rather than risk losing the relationship altogether. That pattern can run so deep it starts to feel like personality instead of protection.

 

The Push and Pull

The Chiron in Libra bears the pain of dependence and idealism regarding the experience of love. You have a tendency to become consumed with your relationship or with the pursuit of romantic love. You may view your partners through rose-colored glasses, or may not see them for who they truly are at all; choosing to ignore imperfections, vulnerabilities and differences, rather than accepting and loving them for their individuality.

​

It is as if you hold the 'twin flame' syndrome within your personal relationships. A twin flame relationship occurs between two souls who come from the same spiritual source, much like identical twins. Though these souls once lived in union, they go their separate ways, through many incarnations, in order to find their true identity. Though it is very rare, when one reunites with their twin flame on the Earth's plane, the relationship that results is extremely intense and karmic. Twin flames have the tendency to become consumed with their desire and love for their partner, which can result in a loss of personal identity. This is because our twin flame is a reflection of ourself.

 

At its core, twin flames are compelled to stay balanced through the dynamics created in their relationship. They must find themselves, emotionally and spiritually, if they are to feel whole and complete. If it is not valued from a spiritual perspective, a twin flame relationship can be destructive. On the other hand, it can be liberating, emotionally fulfilling and extremely spiritual in essence.

​

Anybody can experience a twin flame connection in their lifetime, regardless of which sign their Chiron sits in, however the Chiron in Libra often attracts karmic relationships that mirror the attributes and dynamics of a twin flame coupling.

​

This Chironic placement encourages you to emotionally heal so you can become strong enough to experience divine feelings of love, represented by the ultimate love - self-love - created by a twin flame connection.

 

What Tends to Trigger It

The Chiron in Libra can therefore attract very karmic and sometimes consuming relationship issues. Until you heal and become stronger in your beliefs and your sense of self, the issues that arise within these karmic relationships can almost feel as though they are breaking your spirit.

 

You can continually attract the same karmic circumstances by endlessly forming and destroying relationships that fail to live up to your standards or expectations. It is through personal introspection and reflection that you find the peace and resolution you seek. This allows you to feel complete in yourself, thereby enabling you to find fulfillment in your relationships with others.

 

Chiron in Libra is teaching you that relationships must be constructive, not destructive. This is achieved when you find balance between the polarity extremes of the emotional body, enabling you to sustain feelings of inner-harmony that create a sense of order during times of chaos. It is important you learn to stay grounded in the now, and do not become consumed with your feelings. Your relationships, and the dynamics that play out within them, act as a reflection of yourself; through them you come to know who you are and feel true self-love.

 

 

The Need

When you become whole and complete in yourself, you overcome feelings of personal disempowerment, so you can hold a torch for independence and equality. By becoming stronger in your emotions you can find and feel the essence of 'true love'.

 

The Chiron in Libra often possesses a strong need to feel validated by loved ones, when what you truly desire is self-love. The key is to be true to yourself and to speak and express the way you feel in your relationships. This enables you to be seen and loved for who you are, and not for an image projected on you by the expectations of others. When you allow your beauty to shine, you can sustain truly fulfilling relationships.

 

Rather than demanding harmony and perfection, Chiron in Libra compels you to understand that true expression can lead to greater intimacy, love and fulfillment. By learning to be independent and by fostering healthy, balanced relationships, (by working through karmic issues), you are able to work through your emotions, and find balance, harmony and love.

 

 

Your Gift, Inner-Harmony & Self-Love

Those with this sign can be quite intelligent and are often drawn to industries surrounded by a sense of beauty, glamour or romance. They can be attracted to creative professions in design, fashion, beauty therapy, modeling, photography and writing.

 

On the other hand, they can be drawn to agencies of law and justice, or to relationship counseling and mediation. When you heal your wound you hold a creative and empowered presence that brings others together through love, equality and mutual respect.
