Chiron is such a pain in the centaur-ass.It has only been tracked by astrologers for the last 25 years or so. So, it is very much a work in progress. Wherever it goes it hoovers up our past pains and spits them out for us to process. It is never easy but what I have found out is that it can't be second guessed. Yeah, you can get the broad strokes on it but the painful minutia is between you and your maker. Sigh. BTDT.
Anyway Karyl Jackson has a nice write up.
Chiron portrays a forced savings account from our
efforts. On our road of life, each of us are given pot holes from one
challenging situation or another. The tendency is to blame others for these pot
holes, or to blame situations for these deep challenges and scars in our
life.
The Truth about Chiron is that it points to the type of qualities and
the area of our life that is designated to give us the opportunity to understand
selfless giving and to grow through our chosen responses to these potholes.
Within these challenges, we are given the deep hole of experiencing unfair
situations that we must accept, deal with, understand and ultimately bless. This
is a very tall order, however, our life, our path is sprinkled with
them.
Chiron takes 50 years to make one complete orbit, so that we have to
provide 50 years of effort that may not be rewarded until Chiron connects with
where it started out in our charts. Chiron is the ultimate of giving us
challenges to see how we will respond to them. They usually take the form of
unfair situations, being the target of ill-motives, blame, displaced power, etc.
It is easy and the most popular response to be angry, to blame the situations or
the people involved, something outside of ourselves for creating these pot
holes. That may be true, however, the most important part is not the fact that
others or outside circumstances created the pot holes unfairly. The important
part is the quality with which to fill up these pot holes.
There are five
qualities, each of which has its own level of (spiritual) awareness with which
to fill up the pot holes of challenges;
First, there is tolerance. We can
tolerate the situation with patience and those that have created this pot hole

The title and metaphor here stuck me as especially fitting, since I have Chiron in my 2nd house. Black hole indeed. I guess there's some hope--13 years from now I'll be 50, maybe then I'll be out of poverty. Lord knows I've been taking responsibility and putting myself out there and even obsessively trying to learn whatever lessons stand in my way, but I'm failing to make any progress in patching up this particular hole in my life.
ReplyDeleteoh, lordy, I know what you mean, Kristin.
ReplyDeleteI don't have chiron in 2nd house but I do have a South North Node in Taurus which also speaks of similiar money stumbling blocks. By the time you are 50 you will be way over the hurdles.
My own chiron is in Aquarius and friendships and groups definitely shifted and changed as I got older.
Go around the internet and read about Chiron. There may be authors out there with some good solutions! might as well see if you can make some headway in 2010!
