What lessons might you learn when a situation challenges your deeply held beliefs and encourages you to heal past wounds through taking responsibility and employing discipline?

Pholus is sauntering through Capricorn, and it's cozying up in a sextile with your natal Chiron in Scorpio. This celestial handshake is like an old sage whispering in your ear, nudging you to peek under the rugs of your soul where you've swept past hurts out of sight. Pholus, the centaur of sudden changes and revelations, isn't known for subtlety. So when he waltzes into disciplined Capricorn, it's like a tornado meeting a zen garden - something's got to give, and it's not going to be the bonsai trees.

As this aspect tiptoes through your life, it's as if you are handed a spiritual metal detector, beeping frantically as it hovers over buried emotional shrapnel. These beeps are your signals to dig - to uncover and confront the wounds that you've artfully dodged by wrapping them in layers of self-protection. The sextile to Chiron, often termed the "wounded healer," packs a double punch. It whispers, "Heal thyself," but with the stern undertone of Capricorn insisting, "Do the work."

Now, the universe doesn't expect you to don a superhero cape and tackle this with brute force. No, this transit is like a cosmic physical therapist - it asks for slow, steady, and consistent effort. It's about acknowledging the scars you carry, but not letting them define you. Rather than allowing those deeply held beliefs to pilot your life, Capricorn's influence is handing you the captain's hat. It's time to navigate through the murky waters of past pain with the compass of responsibility in one hand and the sextant of discipline in the other.

The stars are cheeky; they don't just throw you into an emotional boot camp for the fun of it. This celestial alignment is your ticket to empowerment. It takes courage to look at the skeletons in your closet and say, "Let's dance," but that's precisely what you're being invited to do. And as you sway through the awkward steps of self-discovery and healing, you may find that those skeletons had some pretty groovy moves to teach you after all.
