After years of talking w/ many astrologers and folks about #Chiron, I think I finally have an understanding of it. #astrology

@sfreynolds
My problem w/ what's typically said about #Chiron the wounded Centaur healer is that it's usually too broad...or soft.

When you look up #Chiron, a comet, not literally a planet, here's typically what you find: http://bit.ly/iRVQeu

Chiron, as a wounded healer, first must face issues of low self-worth and feelings of inadequacy and learn to rise above these issues.

@sfreynolds
My problem w/ a statement like that about #Chiron is that I don't know what that means specifically.

@sfreynolds
Who doesn't have to face issues of low self-worth and feelings of inadequacy? #astrology #fail

@sfreynolds
Of course, the natural response is that the nature of question of self-worth and feelings of inadq. depend on the sign and house positon.

@sfreynolds
But I have a problem w/ that. Low self-worth & feelings of inadequacy are not fixed attributes in all people or at all times. #Chiron

Before I was a pre-teen, my feelings of low self-worth blah blah blah only happened when I went to school.

@sfreynolds
But #Chiron has nothing to do with the area of my chart that deals w/ school, schooling or learning.

@sfreynolds
So I personally had no idea what to make of the low self-worth, blah blah blah. #Chiron

@revizion Until sixth grade, I felt like there was kryptonite in the very bricks of the school.

@sfreynolds
My other issue w/ #Chiron was what constituted as a wound and how was that different than the wounds that the planets signified?

I mean, I have Saturn in #Aries in the 1st house, using Placidus, and that can signify height issues. I had that honest.

Anyway, so I became increasingly dismissive, though I really did want to be open. Then I started talking to @JChiron18 on twitter.

Anyway, she had some better ideas about it, but they still didn't congeal...for me.

Interestingly enough, I'm approached by a neighbor to act out a role in a summer camp that she organizes based on the Percy Jackson books.

Meanwhile, the #Chiron in the sky now is very close to my #Ascendant, which represents how I navigate my path and identity in life.

@sfreynolds
I meet w/ her and she says she wants me to play the role of #Chiron as seen in the books for the summer camp. I burst out laughing.
