Chiron in Astrology – Meaning Explained (YouTube Video Transcript)

(00:00:00) Your YouTube transcript will appear here (00:00:00) All right. So today we're going to talk (00:00:02) about Chiron in astrology. What does he (00:00:04) mean both in the natal chart and in (00:00:05) transit on that fundamental meaning? So (00:00:09) uh Chiron not very often talked about in (00:00:11) astrology. Um only a western concept, (00:00:14) western um point in the plan in the uh (00:00:17) astrological chart that we use (00:00:19) considered a planet. U the VEX of course (00:00:21) only use everything up to Saturn and (00:00:23) Rahu K2 you know the north and south (00:00:25) nodes. Uh so it is strictly a western (00:00:27) concept. So you can see this both in the (00:00:29) western mythology of Chiron which is (00:00:31) synchronistically associated with uh (00:00:34) Chiron in the sky um and uh you can also (00:00:37) see it too by the notable (00:00:38) characteristics of Chiron in the solar (00:00:40) system. So let's go ahead and start with (00:00:41) the notable characteristics. Um a couple (00:00:44) things you'll note about Chiron. He was (00:00:45) recently discovered 1977. Since then it (00:00:48) has become more implemented in western (00:00:51) astrology more so as time has gone by. (00:00:54) And the characteristics are essentially (00:00:56) that of a comet. Um he's considered a (00:00:58) comet. He's got that icy uh composition (00:01:02) and he's got that really weird (00:01:03) elliptical, you know, tilted orbit like (00:01:05) Pluto. So definitely a comet and comets, (00:01:08) like I was saying in the Pluto video, (00:01:10) are messengers. They're from the outer (00:01:12) reaches of the solar system here to (00:01:13) convey some sort of message. Now, in (00:01:16) terms of his qualities, he's ice, right? (00:01:18) And ice is of course water. And water, (00:01:21) as you know, and we talked about this (00:01:22) with the moon and everything is about (00:01:24) the water retention in our bodies. It's (00:01:26) also about our feelings, our emotions, (00:01:28) and the spiritual aspects of self. But (00:01:31) notice that the that it's ice, that it's (00:01:34) hard. Okay? And this is very important (00:01:35) because it means that it's the denser or (00:01:38) quote lower or more human aspects of (00:01:41) self uh especially in the emotional body (00:01:43) and of the physical self that are denser (00:01:45) in nature. And what's so interesting (00:01:47) about Chiron is that when he's exposed (00:01:49) to the sun, the ice turns to uh gas (00:01:53) instantly. Doesn't even go to water. (00:01:55) just turns from from ice to gas. So this (00:01:57) is very synchronistically important (00:01:59) because it's it's associating the (00:02:01) transformation from the hardened (00:02:04) emotional aspects of self into the (00:02:07) spiritual higher and lighter aspects of (00:02:10) self. So it's that transformation there (00:02:11) but specifically relating to water. So (00:02:14) the key with this is that it's about (00:02:16) spiritual transformation from the lower (00:02:18) to the higher states of consciousness um (00:02:20) and being with that. again it can be (00:02:22) physical which is why um Chiron is (00:02:25) associated with physical healing as (00:02:27) well. So that's one aspect of it. (00:02:29) Another aspect of his characteristics is (00:02:31) that he orbits right in between Saturn (00:02:33) and Uranus. And uh this is very (00:02:36) significant because this is the gap (00:02:37) right be before we get to the very (00:02:39) physical aspects of the self which is (00:02:42) everything up to Saturn to the outer (00:02:44) planets which is everything above the (00:02:46) physical or more going into more of the (00:02:48) spiritual aspects of self which is (00:02:50) Uranus, Neptune etc. So again from lower (00:02:53) to higher and especially with Saturn you (00:02:55) know Saturn is the planet of density. (00:02:57) It's a planet of everything physical of (00:03:00) you know really uh you know the (00:03:01) basically the the material realm and (00:03:04) then you've got Uranus right which is (00:03:06) about releasing from the from the (00:03:08) physical realm and going into higher (00:03:10) states of being to liberate ourselves. (00:03:12) So it's that gap again from Saturn to (00:03:14) Uranus that you can see with that. So (00:03:17) it's very much about healing. It's very (00:03:18) much about redeeming and accepting that (00:03:21) we do have these you know quote human or (00:03:25) lower aspects of self hardened physical (00:03:27) aspects of self and through that we do (00:03:29) find the redemption and the healing and (00:03:31) rejuvenation and in many ways liberation (00:03:34) that comes from that. So that's seeing (00:03:36) it from the the characteristics of (00:03:38) Chiron. You can also see it with the (00:03:40) mythology too mythologically long story (00:03:43) short is that Chiron first of all is a (00:03:45) centaur. So again the same duality lower (00:03:48) half animal instinctual you know more (00:03:51) earthly in nature top half human which (00:03:54) is actually more like a god he was a god (00:03:56) so top half is that spiritual you know (00:03:58) aspect of self. So again that duality (00:04:01) with that but the story is essentially (00:04:03) that he injured his leg okay and he (00:04:05) wasn't able to heal it. It was an (00:04:07) unccurable wound. So he spent his whole (00:04:10) life trying to heal this wound that he (00:04:13) became a healer. he became very good at (00:04:15) healing. So unfortunately he wasn't able (00:04:18) to heal it but he did gain a gift and (00:04:20) that was the gift of healing in which he (00:04:22) was able to bestow upon other people. So (00:04:25) there is that uh area in the chart which (00:04:28) you can see uh really associated with (00:04:30) where we feel wounded where we have this (00:04:33) unccurable wound so to speak and when we (00:04:37) uh you know accept it when we work with (00:04:40) it and we realize that it's mainly just (00:04:43) a process that we're working on within (00:04:45) ourselves again it's more of the (00:04:46) transformational energy then um you know (00:04:50) we we can become healed in steps but (00:04:53) more importantly it's showing us where (00:04:54) we have our greatest gift where we (00:04:57) actually through that overcompensation (00:04:59) are actually very good in that area even (00:05:01) though we don't actually believe that we (00:05:03) are and it's also the gift that we can (00:05:05) give to others and share with others and (00:05:07) help others heal in that particular (00:05:09) area. So you can see that in both the (00:05:11) house placement which would be the area (00:05:12) of life. So for example, if it was the (00:05:14) third house house of communication, of (00:05:17) socializing, of learning, this would be (00:05:20) someone who naturally has that uh (00:05:23) unccurable wound, that feeling of doubt, (00:05:26) insecurity, and woundedness in that (00:05:27) area. However, they've compensated for (00:05:30) it in life. So they're actually very (00:05:31) good there even though they may not see (00:05:33) it as such. And then it's that gift that (00:05:36) they can actually help others heal and (00:05:38) become you know redeemed in terms of (00:05:40) their qualities of communication and (00:05:43) social and learning. So the house (00:05:46) placement very important and then you (00:05:47) can also see it with the sign (00:05:49) characteristics which would show how (00:05:51) it's done in which way does the person (00:05:53) heal. So for example, if it was Aries, (00:05:56) uh the person in which they heal is by (00:05:58) taking action, is by asserting (00:05:59) themselves in this sense, maybe (00:06:00) asserting their communications, (00:06:02) asserting themselves to learn and really (00:06:04) did get that proactive self-willed (00:06:06) energy. But they'll naturally feel a (00:06:08) little bit wounded too in regards to (00:06:10) their ability to initiate and their (00:06:12) ability and their confidence and things (00:06:13) like that to start things and push (00:06:15) forward with things. But um again, it's (00:06:17) more of an internal a aspect of the (00:06:20) self. And when we have that acceptance (00:06:22) and uh you know nurturing really with (00:06:24) with that watery energy then we do come (00:06:27) up to a rejuvenated higher state of (00:06:29) consciousness with that. So that's (00:06:31) essentially um what uh Chiron represents (00:06:35) in the natal chart. So you can um see (00:06:37) this for yourself. Very powerful. It's (00:06:38) also in transit too where we're (00:06:40) temporarily going through that sort of (00:06:41) healing energy. Chiron is associated (00:06:44) with a fucus uh which we'll talk about (00:06:46) next time. You know fucus stands on top (00:06:48) of the Scorpio. He's got that leg on the (00:06:51) scorpion again associating with injury (00:06:53) to the leg. Um and also Sagittarius too (00:06:55) associated there uh because you know (00:06:57) Sagittarius is also a centaur. So we'll (00:07:00) talk more on that when we get to the uh (00:07:02) constellations. But um hopefully this (00:07:04) helps helps for now and I'll see you (00:07:06) guys all next time. Take care.
