Chiron Is Retrograde, so Feel Your Feelings
Here’s a part of the cosmos you might not know about: Chiron. This small celestial body is both an asteroid and a centaur—an astronomical term describing a body with an erratic orbit. In astrology, Chiron is known as the “wounded healer” (dramatic, I know), and on July 11, it begins moving retrograde in Aries—a journey that will last until December 15.
In mythology, Chiron was a wise, sensitive healer who, ironically, could not heal himself. We look to its place in the sky as we identify the wounds that require extra TLC. With Chiron transiting the sign of Aries in retrograde, we have the chance to look within. We’re being called to confront the feelings we’ve been pushing down instead of processing. TBH, this comes at the perfect time. We’ve all been holding in tears, emotions, and uncertainties that need to be released.
So, what does this transit mean for you?
Aries
You’re looking for meaning in all areas of your life, including your relationships. But instead of putting your energy into others, focus on yourself. As Whitney Houston sang, “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.”
Taurus
Lately, you’ve been shutting yourself off from people and hiding your emotions away from those you care about. Rather than running away from your feelings, try owning, understanding, and embracing them. Then you’ll be able to create understanding and drama-free relationships.
Gemini
You give a lot of yourself to your crew without expecting anything in return. In fact, you tend to offer up too much love and support to friends who don’t appreciate your kindness. Cut off the pals who aren’t loyal and surround yourself with those who value you.
Cancer
Life isn’t a popularity contest, even though it can feel that way. Don’t go changing your personality or appearance to fit in—it only makes you feel resentful and bitter. Try to accept yourself as you are: amazing!
Leo
There’s nothing more frustrating than a know-it-all who doesn’t actually know it all. Open yourself up to new philosophies and higher-minded activities. As long as you accept your place as a student and not a teacher, you can learn a lot during this transit.
Virgo
Your psychic abilities aren’t 100 percent on point right now, which is making you download mixed messages. So disconnect for a hot minute and be at peace with yourself. Meditating will help you find understanding on a deeper spiritual level.
Libra
Your one-on-one relationships have been a little erratic over the past few months (to say the least). It’s time to put a pin in the drama with your boo. Making up is hard to do, but it’s necessary—and much better than breaking up.
Scorpio
You’ve been giving a lot of your energy to friends who’ve been down in the dumps. This can be draining—you need to rest and recharge your batteries. Instead of giving so much of yourself to others, take your power back. Give yourself all the me-time you need.
Sagittarius
You’ve been focusing solely on the negatives, but now it’s time to lighten up (if you can). Watch a funny movie or have a socially distant happy hour with your squad. You’ll feel much better.
Capricorn
Family can lift you up but can also bring heart-wrenching drama. Have an honest conversation with your family about past situations that hurt your feelings. They’ll be open to hearing what you have to say and working through it.
Aquarius
It’s not that you don’t speak the truth—you just don’t like emotional convos. However, the moment has finally come for you to open up to your boo. Don’t get stuck in the same old cycle. Discuss your feelings and evolve your relationship or situationship.
Pisces
It’s time for you to get back in the water, Pisces. Your confidence has been up and down, but the next five months will boost your self-esteem. Try reciting a daily affirmation to help you see how awesome you are, inside and out.
