The Wounded Healer enters the sign of survival, fertility, the body, personal resources and self-esteem.
You’ll experience intensified insecurity and fears of poverty in these areas. What you’re trying to preserve may be challenged. There could be physical difficulties or amplified struggles with weight and food. Your body could be a focus as you deal with doubts about its value and how your self-esteem is tied to it.
How you treat your money and possessions is a reflection of how you value or don’t value yourself. This transit will expose any wounds here – hoarding and stagnation as hedges against loss or (conversely) refusal to take responsibility for what you own/earn as a way of avoiding the issue. Any damaged connections to your physical self and the material world will be emphasized.
It all comes down to how you exist in this reality – in your physical self. How you look after yourself. Do you look after yourself? For some, there’s a total focus on intellect and/or the spiritual world with zero regard for their body and immediate environment (who needs to worry about these things when you’re enlightened). For others, there’s an obsession with surgery/exercise/diets as a way of pummelling their body into a state they think they might be happy with. Both extremes indicate wounding.
Some possible scenarios:
-
your body breaks down after years of disregard
-
you’re injured during the extreme exercise/sport you based your self-esteem on and you’re forced to stop (and heal!)
-
carelessness with money/possessions leads to a major loss
-
you base all your value on what you own/earn and suddenly it’s taken away
These are possibilities, not guarantees. The overarching theme is a wound in the physical world which must be confronted so you can heal. By now, you know that Chiron’s healing does not mean the wound vanishes. Rather, it remains but you learn to live with it in a healthy way. You integrate the pain, you heal your connection to your body/possessions by accepting what has always hurt rather than repressing it.
This could look like:
-
learning to value and care for your physical self with all its vulnerabilities because it’s the container for your mind and spirit
-
treating your money/possessions with respect which means valuing them but not basing all your value on them
-
confronting the fear of loss (that may go back to an impoverished childhood) and accepting that some losses will occur but you’ll continue to survive and thrive
Taurus is also the sign of nature and establishing or re-establishing your connection to the natural world can definitely be a path to healing. Getting outside, touching grass, grounding yourself – these actions remind you that the physical world can be beautiful and nourishing. It’s not something to be disrespected or rigidly controlled.
Chiron will station Rx on Aug 3rd and back into Aries from Sept 17th, 2026 to Apr 14th, 2027. It will then remain in Taurus until Jul 19th, 2033. So this first portion of the transit will be brief- a preview of things to come.
