This might be especially obvious during childhood with Chiron in the 2nd house. In some way, you felt as though you lacked security, safety, or well-being. If you have Chiron in the 2nd house, your wound is in the area of security. Chiron in retrograde may be less obvious to others but more obvious to the individual, although this is not always the case. Chiron in the 1st house is more likely to present itself physically when it is conjunct the ascendant. If Chiron is conjunct the ascendant in the first house, these feelings will be especially strong. An individual with Libra may feel dependent on others, even when they first meet them, and become clingy quickly. This will most likely point to the wound.įor example, someone with Chiron in the 1st house in Capricorn may have felt ignored or passed over but they also present as cold and stoic. If you have this placement, look at how you feel around other people and how you present yourself. When you first meet a person with Chiron in the 1st house, you will see the wound right away. This Chiron in the 1st house wound will typically manifest in the person’s outward appearance and personality. They might learn to hide it after a time, but the wound will always sit with the inner child. Something about this person’s youth made this Chironic wound an integral part of the outer personality.īecause Chiron in the 1st house is related to childhood, these folks can carry the Chironic wound through their inner child as they age. I find that Chiron in the 1st house can often indicate that the wound was either learned or cemented (if it was first learned in a past life) during childhood. The wound often manifests in a physical nature as well as emotionally or mentally.įor example, you might have been physically ignored, abused, have a physical illness, or found some part of your body lacking, depending on the sign that your Chiron in the 1st house sits in. If you have Chiron in the 1st house, Chiron might also impact your physical health or appearance in some way.
Chiron is very conspicuous in the way that you present yourself. Your Chironic wound quite literally shows up in your sense of self, identity, and self-worth.
I included examples through these Chiron in the houses descriptions, but feel free to drop a comment with any questions. While this is tricky to do, it takes a bit of analysis and creativity. The goal is to look at both your Chiron in the signs and Chiron in the houses together. Chiron in the houses will show where your sign is expressed, including the location, the part of the psyche, the timeline, etc. The signs show the nature of Chiron and how it is expressed, but the houses show the context for Chironic expression. I find that it’s really beneficial to learn about Chiron, not just because you need to heal it, but because our Chironic wounds give us deeper insight into ourselves and our psyche. Through learning about Chiron, you will get to know and understand your deepest wounds that were created in a past life, in childhood, or (often) a mixture of both. What Is Chiron?Ĭhiron is known as the “wounded healer” in astrology. The goal is instead to heal these wounds and use what we learn from Chiron for good. We carry these wounds around with us and are unable to escape them. Our Chironic wounds indicate the area where we have been hurt to a huge extent. Today, I’ll be looking at Chiron in the houses, as well as explaining how you can put your Chiron’s sign and house together to create one fluid definition. Chiron was only just discovered in 1977, but many astrologers (including myself) consider Chiron to be an essential asteroid in the birth chart.
