🌒 WTF Is Chiron?
Chiron isn't a planet—it's a centaur (literally, astronomically, and mythologically). It's an asteroid/comet/“planetoid” that bridges Saturn (reality) and Uranus (awakening). It’s the liminal zone between your trauma and your transcendence.
Known as the Wounded Healer, Chiron represents:
Your core wound
How you overcompensate
What pain you carry that can’t be “cured”—only transformed
The gift you offer others because you’ve suffered
🩸 So, What Happens When Chiron Goes Retrograde?
Chiron retrograde is inner child therapy on hard mode.
This is not about external triggers—it’s about the wound you internalized so long ago you barely remember why it hurts.
When Chiron’s in retrograde:
You stop projecting pain onto others and start owning it.
You’re asked to revisit old heartbreaks and examine how you’ve responded.
You’ll notice what still stings—and why.
If Pluto retrograde is a chainsaw, Chiron retrograde is a scalpel to the soul.
🔥 Chiron Retrograde in Aries: Wounded Identity, Warrior Healing
Chiron in Aries brings the wound of existence itself:
"Am I enough?"
"Do I deserve to take up space?"
"Is my anger valid or dangerous?"
"Why do I feel like I’m always fighting?"
In Aries, Chiron says:
“You were taught to hide your fire, but your healing begins when you own it.”
This retrograde is about:
Healing where you've been silenced or diminished
Facing abandonment wounds from people who couldn’t see you
Unraveling the belief that you must earn love or prove yourself to deserve peace
🧨 Symptoms of Chiron Rx You Might Notice
Big feelings over “small” things = old wounds flaring
Replaying past conversations in your head
Resentment toward people who hurt you years ago (hi, Mom)
Hypervigilance or people-pleasing
Shame when you express anger
Sudden physical pain, especially in old injuries or around the head/face (Aries rules the head)
🪞How to Work With Chiron Retrograde
1. Identify Your Core Wound
Not your surface-level complaint—your actual, soul-level gash.
Prompt: What story have I told myself about my worth since childhood?
2. Stop Performing Healing
This is not the time to be “fine.” Drop the healer mask and let yourself be the messy, weeping creature under the moonlight. You don’t have to be a brand. Just be honest.
3. Do Something Boldly Vulnerable
Tell the truth. Start the thing. End the thing. Ask for help. Aries wants action. Chiron wants sincerity. Combine them.
4. Write a F*cking Rage Letter
Chiron in Aries gives you permission to be pissed off about how you were treated, neglected, overlooked. You don’t have to forgive to heal. You just have to feel it.
⚠️ What to Avoid
🚫 Bypassing
Don’t spiritualize your trauma into a productivity checklist. Just… don’t.
🚫 Fixing others
That’s your coping mechanism. You’re the project now, babe.
🚫 Hyper-independence
That “I’ll do it all myself” energy is Aries woundedness. Ask for support. Let someone hold your goddamn hand.
🔮 Witchy Ways to Support Your Healing
Red candles for courage + root chakra clearing
Tiger’s Eye, Bloodstone, Garnet for warrior grounding
Bone, thorn, or ash magic for ancestral pain work
Moon water in Aries for mirror work and self-love
Ritual bath with rosemary + cayenne to purge rage + release shame
Sigils for worthiness, self-trust, and belonging
✨ Final Truth: Your Wound Isn’t Your Weakness—It’s Your Witchmark
Chiron retrograde is hard. It’s humbling. It’s heartbreaking.
But it also unchains you.
You are not too much.
You are not broken.
You are not your trauma.
You are a survivor-turned-sorceress, forging medicine out of your own fucking bloodline.
You don't just heal.
You alchemize.
