Chiron in Aries

When Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is in the sign of the Warrior, your past wounds and traumas have been powerful teachers. In particular, your sense of confidence, ambition and independence are triggered by your need to fight battles that you were thrust into at some point in your life.

Baptism by fire is likely. Not only do you often find that you are facing crisis alone, but you may feel that the authorities around you are inadequate or insufficient in some way.

You may feel like you’ve had to struggle through an uphill battle. But in doing so, you learn more about your strength and potential and likely emerge empowered, not defeated.

Chiron in Aries gives you a unique sensitivity and intuition to wounds that have impeded your success or slowed your ambition. You learn your strength best when your strength is tested. You’re also a leader and role model for others whose strength is tested.

Chiron in Taurus

When the Wounded Healer is in the sign of the Bull, your past traumas challenged you to find your value and sense of security. Your physical health may have been threatened in some way forced you to work hard to find your footing.

You are frequently challenged to assert your worth and set boundaries to protect your interests. Past insecurities may have been fueled by poverty, theft, lack of resources or other struggles which made it difficult for you to feel secure.

You may have had to find unique and creative ways to secure your safety and economic and physical foundation. As a result, you have a soft spot for people who struggle with these same issues. You worked hard to understand and assert your worth. You have an intuitive sense of the worth of others, even when they can’t see their own value.

You may be a source of hope and inspiration or stability for those still struggling to find their own value or overcome financial or health related struggles.

Chiron in Gemini

When Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is in the sign of Gemini, the Messenger of the Zodiac, your greatest inner wounds relate to being understood and having your voice heard.

You may have been taught to doubt your ideas. Speech difficulties, struggles with literacy or difficulty conforming to the status quo in early educational settings may have resulted in a stigmatizing label that you then have to overcome.

Because of this, however, you know the pain of being misunderstood or judged for your different ideas or style of learning. You may be drawn to teaching, speaking or writing careers to help others in the same situation you were in.

You may have a unique and intuitive understanding of the importance of communication and having your message heard and this compels you to be a healer or advocate for those who struggle to communicate their ideas.

Chiron in Cancer

With Chiron in Cancer, the Wounded Healer comes home to the realm of the Nurturing Mother. You may have a deep seated feeling of being rejected by family or wandering without a sense of home. If early caretakers weren’t emotionally responsive or available, you may have had to ‘raise’ yourself or mother yourself.

You now have a unique sense of the importance of nurturing. While you may not feel like anything that you do really hits the spot and makes you feel like you’re at home where you belong, you are an excellent nurturer to others. You easily create a sense of home and belonging for those around you.

You may also have an intuitive sense of others’ feelings but have difficulty identifying or showing your own vulnerability. You may struggle with feeling disconnected or rejected by family but in trying to create a sense of home and security you end up helping others find deeper nurturing and emotional healing.
