Chiron, often called the “Wounded Healer” in astrology, begins its retrograde journey on July 25th, 2024, and will continue until November 22nd, 2024. This isn’t a time to fix wounds, but to deeply understand them, offering yourself compassion and recognizing the inherent wisdom, beauty, and strength found in being truthful with yourself and all that lives within you. It’s an invitation to offer yourself space,intimacy,vulnerability,and presence with what calls your name from within. This retrograde period is a potent opportunity for inner work, self-revelation, and reclaiming your power.
Understanding Chiron Retrograde
Chiron represents our deepest wounds, the places where we feel most vulnerable and inadequate. However,paradoxically,these very wounds hold the key to our greatest gifts. Chiron retrograde isn’t about re-experiencing pain, but about revisiting the origins of that pain to understand its purpose and integrate its lessons.It’s a time for introspection, healing, and remembering the medicine within.
During this time, themes related to your core wounds may surface. You might find yourself revisiting old patterns,relationships,or memories. This isn’t a setback, but an invitation to approach these experiences with a new level of awareness and self-compassion. Consider this a period of internal recalibration, a chance to apply the “kintsugi” method to your soul - embracing your cracks and imperfections as beautiful and valuable parts of your whole self.
