Ready to Heal?

20/12/2011

 
Q. I’ve come to realise that I may be called a “healer”, but am struggling with this because of fluctuations in my own health and state of mind. Am I meant to be practicing now or stepping back from getting too involved?

A. From the point of view of your natal chart you are indeed a healer, with a prominent Chiron, Pallas Athena in House of career and the South Node in House of health and healing. Great credentials! But it is not yet time for you to launch fully into this work and there are important hurdles to be faced, ones that are part of it very healer’s journey. The best are often the most wounded ones and being able to separate one's own wounding from that of others is absolutely crucial. 

Many natural healers launch into their work soon after they discover the gifts, naturally so but without adequate preparation this can set them up for eventual burnout. Particularly people with strong Chirons, part of their own wounding has to do with the psychic absorption of other people's pain in their early years. This very openness goes hand in hand with healing gifts but if this tendency is not made conscious and worked on, then they tend to also absorb their client's wounding on top of their own. This further perpetuates this original wounding and become a subtle form of self-abuse. It also sets are some unhealthy dependencies with their clients...click 'Read More' to continue...
 

Preparation for Healthy Relationship - Part 1

17/08/2011

 
Q. You write about creating healthy relationship but this is seems so far from my own experience that I truly wonder what that would look like for me or how to get there!?

A. From an astropsychology perspective there are a number of processes that must be worked on within to prepare the way for the possibility of creating or attracting a healthier form of bond with someone else. These are all obviously ideals but keeping the notion that we are all works in progress, in general and in relationship, gives us permission not to attempt unrealistic perfection and allows us to be more lovingly human. Another helpful attitude is that in relationships, like parenthood, expect to stuff up along the way as a necessary part of the journey...click 'Read More' to continue...
 

The Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune Conjunction and the Chiron Return

08/06/2010

 
Q. On the very day of this conjunction (of Jupiter/Chiron and Neptune) it was also be conjunct my Sun and Chiron in the 4th, trine to my Neptune in Scorpio in the 12th house, opposite Pluto in Virgo in the 10th, square to my Ascendant in Sag and opposite my North Node as well as my Ninth House Uranus in Leo. I am already feeling this event as considerable level of anxiety in my body as well as an explosion of sexual and electrical energy running through my body.

I do a lot of chakra work and tantric practice, plus I’m a big dreamer. Do you think that I will finally disappear up my own chakra? (written with humour)

A. Well that would be interesting wouldn’t it!? You might just go up in a puff of smoke, which might mean a successful transition, transcended the whole caboodle, pppfff!

But……as tempting as it might be, and basically its part of the deal for “Chironics”, people with strong Chiron’s, to have at least a subconscious urge to escape the planet, its not recommended in terms of fulfilling one’s dharma and karmic mission...click 'Read More' below to continue...
