31 July 2025 – 2 January 2026
Chiron is the “wounded healer”; he is the planet that represents our greatest wound of rejection that we arrive in this lifetime already carrying. It is a deep inner wound that may have been with us for many incarnations, and the effect of this wound can reflect through many areas of our lives, as it connects so painfully and so intrinsically to our own personal belief systems.
Chiron has been transiting through Aries for about the last 6 years and has approximately one more year to go before he moves into Taurus. So, we are all working through the wound of rejection that Chiron in Aries brings to us, and we are doing so as individuals and within our personal lives, as well as as a collective. The entire planet is feeling this energy and now that both Saturn and Neptune have taken up residence in Aries as well, this last year of Chiron in Aries is an incredible chance for us all to heal and step up.
The wound of rejection that Chiron is Aries carries is the wound of feeling that you are not good enough, that you cannot stand on your own two feet and support yourself, and that you cannot take charge and lead others in any way. For the past 6 years lessons in these areas of your life will have been coming at you thick and fast, to help you to transform and transcend this deep wound. And as I am constantly saying, as human beings we are very stupid, and so the lessons presented to us to learn our sense of self-worth will have been challenging and difficult as they will have forced you in some way to stand up for yourself, rather than being gently and lovingly eased into solid self-belief.
As Chiron moves into Retrograde motion in Aries from 31 July 2025 until 2 January 2026, it is our last chance to go within and do the inner work that we need to do to heal this wound. It is our last chance to really dive deeply into this wound and to discover how connected it is to your sense of self-belief. It is our chance to really see that connection and how it affects you and how you deal with the outside world in particular. And the reason this is so important is that the world is changing around us so fast and with so much confusion and chaos, that all we have left is our own belief systems, internal compass and sovereign thinking. And if these are not strong, healthy and aligned with who we truly are, we will be lost in the upheaval and drifting like rudder-less oar-less boats on the ocean, completely unable to find ourselves or our direction.
Chiron is very connected to the inner child, as the wounds of Chiron are often first triggered in our childhoods. When there is a wound in the inner child it is then transferred over to the divine feminine who takes that wound and connects more emotion and feeling too it, before she hands it over to the divine masculine who then takes the action. If there is a deep wound of lack of self-belief within the inner child, the divine feminine will not have the confidence or self-belief to attach confidence, power and knowing to her thoughts and therefore when she hands this over to the divine masculine he will act and react from a place of lack – lack of self-love, lack of self-belief and lack of self-empowerment. Which is not the positive, self-affirming action that we need.
We are all good enough just as we are, and we have done nothing wrong.
Your Ego self would tell you differently and it is your choice to listen to this part of you, or not. Your Higher Self sees only your beauty, potential and talent – it does not waste its time on negative thinking or toxic thoughts.
During this Chiron Retrograde period allow yourself to feel the depths of your wounds and question their right to have power over you. Make the connection between your fear of trying something new and that old wound of lack of belief in yourself. Or perhaps you can see the connection between your inability to challenge yourself to take on new opportunities and experiences and your deep belief that you are not good enough? Or, maybe you can finally understand why you choose to go below the radar and not put your hand up for promotions or growth, because you deeply believe that you cannot be a leader?
Once you can make this connection and see how what you do in your outside world is completely linked to how you feel about yourself and what you deeply believe about yourself, your inside world, you can make the shift.
You see we all want to be happy, successful, fulfilled, purposeful, joyful and abundant and SO often the only thing that is truly stopping these things from manifesting in your life, is YOU and that deep wound/belief you carry that you are not good enough, or that you just can’t step up and step out. You can blame others all you want, or say you are a victim of this or that, but at the end of the day it is YOUR belief that is stopping you, not anybody else’s.
One of my greatest beliefs and what I like to teach my students is that whatever you go through in this lifetime that you have found the hardest and the most challenging is EXACTLY what you are here to teach others. You see Chiron is the “wounded healer” the Centaur that went into battle, became injured and then decided that it was more fulfilling, more purposeful and more integral for him to heal and teach others a different way of being.
So, we take our wound of Chiron and we transform it into our super-power – the part of us that has been through tough experiences, but in doing so has learned, evolved and healed. You have all the knowledge, tools and understanding to help others around you to master and heal the same thing you went through and you will find that you attract such people to you with ease as their soul knows that YOU are the one who can help them to heal.
Use this powerful time to ask yourself why and where you lack self-belief?
And then ask yourself why you would believe such a thing?
Ask yourself, what could I choose to believe instead?
All that you feel and experience in this lifetime is about you learning and growing as a soul on a journey. And no of course you are not always going to get it right or perfect. But, it’s in the failing that we learn. Do not allow the wounds that you carry to limit you, instead let them teach you – teach you how strong you can be, how powerful your inner beliefs can be, and then see where this transformation can take you.
You choose your life, you choose the story you wish to tell yourself, so why not make it a happy, uplifting, powerful and successful story? One of rags to riches, or failure to success or even sadness to joy. Heal your inner wounds and see them as your most important and life-changing lessons that can and will enable you to step into all that you can be, without fear and in the full knowledge that you are ALWAYS GOOD ENOUGH!
