Chiron - What It Means

Most folks have their Chiron return at age 49, 50 or 51. What it does is give you a heavy dose of reality that

1. Your time here on earth is limited--you aren't going to live forever like you thought when you were a twenty-something..

2. You give deep thought to what you want to leave behind; that you've somehow contributed to the better good of all humanity

3. You take stock of your life and if you don't like what you've got currently, you sure do change it during this timeframe :-)

4. For those who have been 'stuck' with responsibility, this is also a time of freeing up for them and they get to go "play" now--it's their turn :-)

5. If you have repressed, denied or crammed a lot of hard emotional feelings/trauma reaction, deep into you and not worked on venting it and removing it, you can get ill at this time. Chronic disease is well known to take hold at this time. If you sail through it and you aren't getting ill, then you know you've been working hard to clean your own, inner house :-)

6. It gives you more maturity, more patience, more macrocosmically understanding of human beings; you lose a lot of your personal prejudices, hatred, anger, or whatever because you perceive them through a different lens of reality. The good news is this lens remains in place (I had my Chiron return 3 years ago...so I feel I can speak to this a little).

7. There is an intense, inner digging into the self. A looking, weighing and measuring of things that have occurred in your life--and you either keep 'em or toss 'em out.

8. You want to do things, complete things/visions/dreams/goals at this time. You plan your life carefully around this one goal or intent. In doing so, you change a lot of your habits or the way you live your life.

9. You realize you need to take time out and smell the flowers....
