It's all going down today.
On July 8, Chiron in Aries goes retrograde, bringing with it all the healing and tragedy of a really excellent Greek dramedy. Like a really long episode of Parenthood, or the exquisite pain of checking your bank balance after getting drinks with your friends. Anyway. Chiron is a small planet that used to be thought of as one of Saturn’s moons, but it turns out that Chiron just has a really eccentric orbiting pattern and does weird shit.
I identify with Chiron because I, too, orbit unpredictably. And like Chiron, the Greek God that this planet is named after, my dramatic nature and OCD makes me feel like I’m in Perpetual Suffering. In Greek mythology, Chiron was a healer/philosopher centaur who couldn’t heal the poisoned arrow that continued to plague him in his immortal life . He’s commonly referred to as ‘The Wounded Healer’ which will now be my new alter ego.
Alright, so Chiron is going retrograde—FINE OK WHATEVER. Get to the good stuff—what’s going to happen? Since Chiron is in Aries , this means that our assertiveness and confidence may waver when knowing how to heal our deep wounds or address psychological and physical patterns of wellness. Chiron will remain in retrograde until December 12, which means that this is not a planetary shift that can be easily ignored. And really, it shouldn’t be. As humans, we all have a responsibility to lessen the suffering of others—but how often do we take it to heart and do the real work of healing ourselves?Aries – With Chiron in your sign, you may be feeling this indecision more than most. As someone used to taking charge, this is going to be emotionally taxing.
There you have it, Wounded Healers. It seems trite to end with something generic like, “Be nice, because everyone is fighting a harsh battle, etc.” but it’s also true as hell. Something that feels a little less bullshitty is trying to reconcile that everyone is trying their best. And it’s going to look different for everybody. That doesn’t mean we have to put up with toxic behaviors or being overcharged for a subpar omelet, though.
