Chiron in Aries--Rebirth & Soul Evolution

Since April 20, 2010, Chiron has transited in Pisces. And this mostly impacted people born from March 19, 1960 to October 18, 1968, but there was some dipping into Aquarius in 1960 and dipping into Aries in 1968 with the retrogrades.

(Please look at your Natal Chart for your Chiron placement if you were born between 1960 and 1968. People born with Chiron in Pisces are now 50+ years of age and have completed their Chiron Return).


Reluctant Warriors & Everyday Heroes

Chiron Transits:

April 17, 2018--Chiron transits into Aries
September 25, 2018--Chiron retrogrades into Pisces
February 18, 2019--Chiron stays in Aries for 7 years
June 19, 2026--Chiron moves into Taurus
September 17, 2026--Chiron RX into Aries
April 14, 2027--Chiron returns to Taurus

This means that a large group on the planet is dealing directly with core wounds around invisibility and abandonment issues. These folks grew up in families where people spoke of them as if they weren't in the room. They might have felt like wallpaper or worse, they might have felt orphaned. They might have dealt with alcoholic or dysfunctional adults. And many are recovering from addictions or childhood abuse. This is the way Chiron works. We uncover our gifts by addressing our deepest wounds. And those gifts were worth the digging into the subconscious. These folks are very likely to become spiritual teachers or healers themselves.

Relief for the Chiron in Pisces folks begins on April 17, 2018 when this asteroid travels into Aries--the Sign of the Warrior. Now, the Aries in Chiron folks have different themes and issues to resolve. My sense is that their issues revolve around boundaries and entitlement. Either they heard the word "no" many times in their lifetime or not enough times which leaves them trampling over other people's boundaries. They might find that others resent them.

There could be passive-aggressive behavior, anger management, or addictions to people-pleasing. They could carry the motto, "My way or the highway" or have a need to always come first or be the first at everything. This dynamic does not play well in a family where the Chiron in Aries person has siblings, especially if they were also born with Chiron in Aries, which is likely unless the children were born 7 years apart or when Chiron was still in Pisces.

Now, let's break this down into components. Aries is a Cardinal Fire Sign. The Sign of the Ram ushers in either spring in the Northern Hemisphere or fall in the Southern Hemisphere. The themes are around the infant, birth, the birthing process, and rebirth for adults. The ruling planet is Mars and the ruling color is red. Aries rules the face, teeth, and the head. Aries energy is of the warrior and rules adventure, first-responders, pioneers, and athletes to name a few types of Aries people. But Aries can also be hot-headed, selfish, arrogant, foolish, and alcoholic (but for different reasons than Pisces). They can either obsess with guns and cars or be injured by them.

Chiron is represented by a satyr in Greek-Roman mythology. The satyr suffers from a permanent wound to his ankle. But this satyr grows in wisdom despite this permanent injury after accepting his wound or that which he cannot change. We cannot change how others treated or injured us in the past, but we can change our perception of the wound. We can see that it helps us to develop into well-rounded people with compassion in the case of Pisces and courage in the case of Aries.

While Chiron completes its tour in Pisces, we are already seeing glimmers of the Aries energy playing out. Children are shouting for justice around the issue of gun violence and these are both Aries themes (children and guns). Uranus in Aries plays a role here as it completes its tour of Aries in May of 2018, but dips back into Aries at the end of 2018 and then heads back into Taurus in 2019. And let's not leave out Mars moving into the revolutionary Aquarius for 6 months in 2018 due to a retrograde in Aquarius.

Chiron in Aries also asks us to show up authentically in the world and to pursue our missions as courageous warriors. What is worth fighting for? Where would you like to see justice happen? What are your views on children and the changes they bring? Are you leaving the planet better for future generations or are you selfishly leaving destruction in your wake? These are the questions Chiron in Aries asks us. And it's best to take the time to contemplate how you show up on the world.

And last but not least, as we enter the birthing of the New Earth, are you prepared to take the hero's journey? Reading up on Joseph Campbell's work (an Aries) helps with this journey.
