30 December 2024 – 29 July 2025
Chiron is known as the “wounded healer” and is the planet that we believe in esoteric astrology rules Virgo. Wherever this planet sits in your Natal Chart is where you arrived in this lifetime carrying the wound of rejection, and it is part of your soul’s purpose to heal this wound so that you can teach and heal others through your own experiences.
It takes Chiron approximately 7 years to move through a sign of the zodiac so he is what is known as a “generational planet” as he brings the same lesson to everyone born over that 7-year period. The generational planets teach us slow lessons that we need to learn as individuals as well as for the collective and so much of the learning we go through with Chiron is about healing the wounds of the world that have manifested from our own personal wounds.
Chiron carries the wounds of the soul – deep wounds that we may not understand or acknowledge as a part of us because we have buried them so deep, or simply because we don’t understand what we need to change within us to heal.
Chiron has been sitting in Aries since 2020 and will remain in this sign of the zodiac until 2027. When Chiron sits in Aries, he carries the wounds of rejection of; feeling like you are not good enough, believing that you cannot stand on your own two feet and support yourself, and/or fears of being the leader and all the responsibility sitting with you. As you are reading this most of you will be able to identify with at least one of these wounds that you may be currently focussing on to heal.
So, as Chiron transits through Aries we will all be confronted with lessons, people, experiences and opportunities to heal ourselves and step out of negative beliefs about ourselves and our capabilities. As human beings we are not that smart and we tend to only learn our lessons the hard way, often when there is a very simple and easy way right in front of us.
As above – so below
When Chiron moves into Direct motion on 30 December 2024, just before the New Year, we get to take a chance on ourselves and put ourselves out there with confidence and surety. While he has been in Retrograde motion over the last approximately 5 months, we have all been encouraged to go within and really look at our belief systems and why and where we may feel that we are not good enough or that we cannot be who we want to be. When he moves Direct, we get to once again learn our lessons through the outside world and all that we are exposed too.
Having Chiron move into Direct motion just before a New Year is an amazing opportunity for us all to leave the past behind! 2024 has not been an easy year and there are few more challenging years to come, BUT, if we do the work of Chiron and believe in ourselves, these next years don’t need to be as scary or as chaotic as this last year has been.
Having self-confidence and being able to step up when you need too can come to some people with ease and to others with difficulty – but we all know that we can push through things if we absolutely have too. Therefore, having confidence in yourself can be activated by faking it till you make it!
Self-belief on the other hand is a whole different ball game. They sound like they are the same thing but they really are not. Self-belief comes through self-love and is one of the most important foundations we can create for ourselves to fulfil our dreams and to reach our goals. You cannot achieve a goal or dream if you don’t believe that you can; you cannot expect other people to believe in you and what you represent if you don’t believe in you; and you cannot give love to everyone but yourself and still expect to be loved unconditionally in return. It ALL starts with YOU.
When our self-belief is low or when there are parts of ourselves that we don’t completely believe in or empower, it is usually because there is a wound there, an old scar from an experience in the past where somebody or something made you believe that you weren’t good enough. And that evolved into you thinking that you couldn’t believe in yourself, what you are good at and who you truly are. There are chinks in the armour and negative energy can get in because there is negative energy there to receive it.
As Chiron moves into Direct motion for 2025 use this energy to see what and who triggers you. Then ask yourself why you react that way. Most of the time it is not what is happening right now that the pain is coming from, it’s the activation or trigger to the wound of the past that you are actually feeling and reacting too. Allow yourself to go deeper and feel into when someone or something last made you feel this way and then see what belief this has conjured up for you.
For example, you are overlooked at work for a promotion and it is given to one of your colleagues instead. You feel hurt, rejected, not good enough and perhaps even angry at this. Now ask yourself, when did you last feel this way? Who else or what else has made you doubt that you are good enough in the past? And, is there another way you can look at this?
Too often we jump straight into our emotions and then allow this part of ourselves to tell us a story. And then that story can and will become our belief system. For example, using the above scenario once again, you did not get the promotion and so now you may choose to believe (and remember your beliefs are always YOUR choice) that you are not good enough for that role, that everyone else at your work also thinks this, and perhaps you are going to embellish your story further by creating the belief that you will never get a promotion because you will never be good enough! And so, it goes on and you manifest and create the exact belief that will stop you from moving forward, becoming successful and believing in yourself from now on.
Chiron in Aries is an opportunity given to each of us to step up and stand up in our own power. It is our chance to get on top of all those negative and toxic beliefs we create and carry that then stop us from living and having the lives we really want to have.
Healing with Chiron
As we step more and more into the Age of Aquarius, we are being asked, encouraged and prompted to step into our own power, our own sovereignty, our own critical thinking and our own reality. And we cannot step into this successfully if we lack belief in ourselves. And so, it is the job of Chiron to challenge these parts of us so that we can do the inner work and heal those self-defeating wounds and step into our empowerment.
You are good enough no matter who you are and what you do.
You can stand on your own two feet.
You are a responsible and reliable leader.
Chiron in Aries from a global and collective perspective is the healing of the Divine Masculine. The deep healing of the masculine side of every one of us that has carried self-doubt, fear and inadequacy of any kind. As we have evolved over the last century in particular the roles of men and women have changed considerably and both the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine have suffered because of this. Our personal and collective Divinity has been deeply wounded and because of this the actions that come from the Divine Masculine have become violent, angry, oppressive and divisive which is not the true or highest octave of this energy. This transit of deep healing will help us all to embrace the highest good of the Divine Masculine aided by the support of the Divine Feminine. We can balance our energies and align successfully with our true purpose and step into our power knowing that we are operating from and for the highest good of ALL concerned.
So, use the turning of this New Year to stand in your own power and your own self-belief. Leave 2024 and all the ups and downs it brought us behind – we don’t need to bring that into 2025. And see yourself stepping up to your challenges, standing on your own two feet and being the leader and celebrator of others. The more you can focus on being the best and strongest version of yourself you can be, the better the energy you will give out and the collective can absorb this energy and start to bring more self-belief, self-worth and self-empowerment to ALL.
Heal your deepest wound by simply allowing yourself to believe; believe in your dreams, believe in your abilities and believe in yourself. You are loved more than you will ever know and celebrated beyond your wildest dreams just for being YOU! Blessings xox
