Chiron, discovered as recently as 1977, is a large comet which orbits between Saturn and Uranus. Scientists believe that Chiron is a temporary visitor, a maverick, who came from outside our solar system, and will eventually leave. Its astronomy points to Chiron's link between the inner planets of the personal self, and the outer planets of the collective and transpersonal self. Chiron is our bridge from the known to the unknown, from the old to the new, from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius.
Mythology
Mythology reveals Chiron as the Wounded Healer archetype. Born half-man, half-horse, he was the product of a union between Saturn and Philyra. Repulsed by his appearance, Philyra rejected her child at birth and begged the Gods to take him away. The Gods instructed Chiron in the healing arts, warfare, music, ethics, astrology, and he became a wise teacher, mentor, healer and prophet. Later in life, Chiron was wounded in the knee by an arrow. The wound would not heal, and Chiron spent the rest of his life

searching for a cure. An accomplished healer, he was unable to heal himself. As an immortal, he could not be released from his wound. Eventually, Chiron found release from his suffering by agreeing to exchange places with Prometheus, the earthy Titan, who had been banished to the underworld for stealing fire from the Gods. Chiron gave up his immortality for death and the release from pain.

creative way to benefit others. This is the transformational experience of pain, and the gift of Chiron. Paradoxically, it is through this experience of our own pain, and the compassion and insight gained, that we feel drawn to help others. This is the Wounded One transformed into Healer and Teacher.
The Transformation of The Wounded One into The Healer and Teacher
Through Chiron we find our vehicle for expression of higher purpose, because it is here that we seek to give out to others, to teach and heal. A teacher or healer is simply someone who seeks to share their knowledge, wisdom, skills and love with others. If Chiron is prominent in the natal chart, the teacher/healer is likely to be a very powerful personal archetype. The following are some suggestions for delineation. The study and understanding of the nature of the Chiron experience is still very much in the stage of infancy. As we come to understand how the energy of Chiron works in our own birth charts and lives, we are able to have more understanding of how our clients may be experiencing the Chiron process. Pain and suffering are very powerful personal experiences, but they are also universal experiences. It is through this awareness that we come to empathise with others, and share in a sense of collective grief.

There are many healing modalities, some of which are mentioned in the following delineations, which can help alleviate our pain and even trigger major physical and psychological breakthroughs and transformations. But there are some internal spiritual qualities which hold the true key to healing the wound of Chiron. Forgiveness is the key to reconciliation. We can also help heal our personal wound, which usually involves fear, by doing just that which we fear. This takes courage and willpower. Sometimes, we find that the experience which we most feared did not eventuate. Instead we are validated through experiences of love and acceptance. And we all know that Love is the greatest healer of all.
