After an interesting sequence of events, the planetoid Chiron has been impressed in my mind...
Chiron's discovery: astrological chart
Chiron, the planetoid that lies between Saturn and Uranus, was discovered in 1977 by American Astronomer Charles Kowal. Chiron's strange gravitational path crosses over the orbits of Saturn and Uranus and for that reason, astronomers concluded that this planetoid could not have been in the solar system for more than two million years because it would have either crashed into Saturn or Uranus, or been caught by their gravitational pull and become a moon. If we examine Chiron’s elliptical orbit, its perihelion and aphelion in Libra and Aries, respectively, map this out over time and correlate it with human history, we begin to see a definite cycle. Individually, this plays out over 49-51-year cycles in our lives. The elliptical nature of Chiron’s orbit means that this cycle’s nodal points differ from person to person and from generation to generation. Individually, this traces the waxing and waning of our inclination and ability to address and deal with our Wounds.
The wounded leg of the centaur, Chiron, symbolizes the woundedness of our lower nature—a nature that sees one side of the world while repressing, ignoring, denying, disowning, condemning and/or failing to acknowledge the other balancing sides. Such is the origin of blame. Chiron’s message is only understood when we understand and appreciate that the world we see around us is a world of perceived duality. Everything in existence has an equal and opposite companion, albeit often hidden from us in the beginning. Modern quantum physics concurs with this view in its conception of matter and anti-matter.
