What the planet Chiron has to do with the mid-life crisis

Chiron is a minor planet located between Saturn and Uranus and was only discovered in 1977. In astrology it is called the "wounded healer" .

This planet is associated with an issue where we are very vulnerable , where we may still need healing , which has accompanied us throughout our lives and has been triggered again and again . The return of Chiron to the place where it was in the firmament at the time of our birth is called the return of Chiron and it only happens once in our lives , between the ages of 46 and 52.

So it is no coincidence that when you are in your late 40s or early 50s and have a life crisis , old issues may come back and you start to question things in your life . The process of searching begins, you look for answers and, above all, you look for your true purpose in life . If you do not follow this inner urge and try to push it aside, you slowly start to feel frustrated and disappointed with life.

But it is precisely these feelings that can be the impetus for a profound transformation in life. The Chiron return lasts about 7-8 years and it is very important how you go through this time of transformation. Do you use the energy for healing, change and self-discovery - it is not without reason that Chiron is called "The wounded healer" - or do you let this opportunity of letting go pass you by.

This phase is an incredible gift from the universe that helps us bring about a major change in ourselves and our lives that can reveal our true potential. You can gain clarity about your past life, integrate what you have learned and get a new perspective on your life.

If you don't know anything about the cycles of our planets and their themes, you can feel overwhelmed by the return of Chiron . Often, old injuries and issues that we thought we had long since dealt with come back into our lives. If you don't know that these issues and injuries only come back into our lives so that we can let them go and make room for something new , you can quickly fall back into old patterns.

I hope that I have been able to prepare you a little better for your Chiron return and that you see this phase as an opportunity to look within and let go of what no longer serves you and corresponds to the highest version of yourself . I wish from the bottom of my heart that Chiron gives you the wisdom to listen to the melody of your soul and not the noise of your mind.
