Healing Our Core Wounding

A core wounding is the cause of distortion and dis-ease creating physical, emotional and mental symptoms in us. It is a deep energetic wounding within our etheric body that disconnects us from our Higher Self and our Lightbody. By working with Chiron through Transference Healing®, you can begin to heal this core wounding in the etheric and receive the frequencies that are necessary for you body to heal, anchor and activate your Lightbody so you can ground yourself in the 5th dimensional world that we are co-creating now.

The core wounding is reflected in the Greek mythological story of Chiron who was the offspring of Saturn. Being born a centaur, he was rejected by his parents and raised by Apollo. Chiron, being half man and half horse, represented the human being who’s divinity exists in a state of immortality and who, at the same time, resides in a physical mortal body throughout each of its incarnations.

The Mythical History of Chiron

Chiron the centaur created a wounding after being pierced in the leg. While living in a state of immortality he searched many dimensions to find a cure and along the way he became very wise and knowledgeable, mastering the art of healing. Meanwhile, the deep compassion that he developed, compelled him to help others on their own self healing journey. He does this by bringing up issues concerning the body’s health, diseases and their relationship or effect on our spiritual journey, growth and empowerment process throughout life. Chiron enables us to identify with the wound, giving us the resources to not only work with it on the etheric level and thereby heal it, but also to acknowledge or understand it so that we can work through its associated emotions that create limitations within our personal and spiritual growth. Through this self-healing process Chiron also enables us to shift our consciousness and see the gifts contained within the wound by allowing it to surface. When the wound is physically and psychologically healed, the gift is embraced, enabling one to awaken and evolve in body and consciousness and to open the mind to mysticism and magic. As we awaken these latent gifts, we learn to heal ourselves and others. Finally embodying our purpose.

The Astrological Aspects of Chiron

There is an ancient North American prophecy that says:
“When the healing planet is discovered in the sky then the sacred warrior teachings will return to Earth.” It is believed that this healing planet is Chiron.

In 1977 the consciousness of Chiron was energetically returned to the Earth when a new minor planet, classified as a centaur, was discovered in our solar system traveling a course between Saturn and Uranus. This discovery triggered our consciousness to embrace the idea of personal and planetary healing through energy and light. As Chiron transits between Saturn and Uranus it creates profound shifts in our physical and spiritual identity, as well as our perception on health and healing.

Chiron consciousness is a universal consciousness that comes through the planet chiron to help us enhance our intuitive ability and repair the etheric web that sustains our life force on Earth. By working with this etheric web that is energetically connected to the physical body, planet earth and the universe, we connect to Christ Consciousness and understand the vibrational healing aspects of all nature within our universe. Therefore, Chiron and it astrological influence enables us to access and master some of the sacred teachings and cosmic healing powers of the Christ.

We are all born with one of twelve core or Chiron wounds. The wounding you work on during your lifetime is based on what astrological sign that Chiron, the planet, was in at the time of your birth. The sign we identify in Transference Healing® is not necessarily, but could be the same as your zodiac sign. Chiron in a natal astrological chart indicates the area from which an opportunity comes to heal the core wound that we are born with. Chiron is not only triggering global astrological and energetic changes as it trasits in the solar system, thereby supporting global change within the Earth and human consciousness, but it is also simultaneously triggering four important astrological transits in each individual’s natal chart throughout their lifetime.

As Chiron makes its 50 year cycle of every human’s natal chart, the four unique transits it creates for each individual on the planet affects their personal and spiritual growth process. As such, the four Chiron transits occurring in their lifetime indicate times of significant initiations, as well as the core issues that may occur at these times in order for each individual to trigger a profound healing and an opportunity to create huge realizations and awaken latent gifts and talents.

The first Chiron transit occurs anytime between ages 4 and 23 years of age and gives us the chance to identify with our sense of self on Earth. The second transit opens one up to their life’s path. The third transit often creates painful times of self-discovery. The fourth transit occurs for everyone at the age of 50. During this transit Chiron returns to the exact sign and position it was located at the time of one’s birth. This transit creates the change of life, thereby delegating the direction and resources to find more of our life’s purpose.

Times of Change: Astrology and Evolution 2012-2015

Marina Ormes RN, HN-BC

Many of us find ourselves bouncing back and forth, sometimes pretty dramatically, between optimism and hopelessness. The symbolic wisdom of astrology helps us understand and navigate these powerful times of transition and transformation. What is happening? What does it all mean? What are we becoming?

Astrology and the cosmos can provide some insight into how we are changing and why. From my perspective as an evolutionary astrologer, I see the difficult and sometimes painful circumstances that we must confront as an important step in our learning and growth, both on personal and collective levels. The challenges we face are necessary to push us into taking greater responsibility for our circumstances.

We need to expand both our hearts and our minds to be able to handle the awareness of truths that are beginning to dawn on us. These truths include, but are not limited to, new discoveries being made by science about the nature of the universe, how our bodies work, and what is taking place at unseen dimensions. They include the necessity that we transcend war. And they include confronting the limitations of existence on a planet whose resources are being depleted as we speak.

The importance of us “getting” these lessons is no less than the fate of humanity and the planet. But there are powerful signs of real change. So many of us are awakening to the areas where we can no longer compromise personal empowerment, because personal empowerment is the source of hope. When you understand who you are, why you are here, and how you are here to make a difference, you can stand in your unique perspective and speak, act, and choose from the truth which comes from your essence – that which brings meaning and fulfillment to your life.

Here, in a nutshell, are the astrological “indicators” of change.

Transition to the Age of Aquarius

This is a long-term transitional period, not one that takes place in a single moment, or in a single year. It refers to the approximately 2000-year time period that constitutes an “age.” The age of Pisces began around the time of the beginning of Christianity. Ages refer to a gradual “slipping” of the zodiac which takes place when observed over long periods of time, or the position of the Sun in the zodiac through our seasons as compared with its position against the backdrop of remote stars.

Symbolically, the age of Pisces referred to giving up our power as individuals while depending upon a representation of the divine – generally an authority figure – to tell us what to do. In many cases this power was claimed in bloody and terrifying ways. We submitted to it because the alternative was to be outcast from the safety and protection of the collective culture and society. Conformity, and giving up individual needs and styles, was what ensured the survival and continuation of the community.

The age of Aquarius refers to us reclaiming our power as individuals as the center of divinity and power shifts from an external figurehead to an internal authority. As we make this shift, the evolutionary pressures placed upon us are to now give up the necessity of conformity and become our own centers of authority and decision-making. Each of us becomes a center of divine power with access to our own inherent truth and individual way of being.

This transition feels like a crisis because as we step into our inner authority and divinity, we must give up deep-seated beliefs that we will be tortured and killed for doing so. Each of us has our own version of this story, and each of us has our own suppressed inner voice to claim.

The Pluto-Uranus Square

In 2011, this long-term transit came within a degree of exact, causing us to feel the collective crisis and impetus for change. In astrology, a “square” means that two planets are 90 degrees apart in the zodiac (as they are viewed from Earth). Squares are felt as conflict, crisis, or pressure.

The square between these two planets is part of a cycle that began during the 1960s when the two planets were conjunct, or together in the zodiac (in Virgo). During the 1960s when Pluto, the planet of transformation, power, sex, and death met the planet of sudden change, individual expression, rebellion, and revolution humanity experienced a collective wave of awakening. Into existing power structures the archetypal truths of individual and sexual empowerment, social and environmental movements, substances that could instantly alter consciousness and perception, and cries for equal rights exploded like hot lava suddenly escaping from a long-dormant volcano.

The problem is, conjunctions are completely subjective. The energies emerge without knowing where to go, or what their ultimate purpose is. It is now our task, 50 years later, to decide what we are going to do with the energies that were unleashed during the 60s. We are under the extreme pressure of this square – stuck between a rock and a hard place – or between the reality we have created and the freedom we can imagine – and we are forced to choose what we are going to do about it. The Pluto-Uranus square will be in an exact 90-degree relationship a total of seven times between 2012 and 2015 (due to the fact that both planets are far away and move slowly, and also due to retrograde periods).

Outer Planet Placements in 2012-2015

Pluto: Pluto is in Capricorn. Pluto brings transformation and massive change to the sign of structure, tradition, and authority. It will continue to express itself through this venue, removing the security blanket of knowing what we can count on (financial systems? political structures? family structures?) and opening the doorway to rebirth. Pluto does not determine the nature of the rebirth. We do that.

Neptune: Neptune shifts into its home sign of Pisces early in 2012. Renewal comes through new ways of knowing the divine, and spirituality opens us to new levels of awareness and understanding. Escapism into altered states (virtual realities? vision quests on crack? giving our power away to illusions or false promises?) and other substitutes for knowing the infinite nature of divine source are the pitfalls we must avoid. On the positive side, infinite potential and divine love become real and accessible.

Uranus: Uranus is in Aries. Uranus is the planet of individuality, rebellion, and authentic expression. It is taking us through the journey of Aries: the sign of pure essential being. We must be the Aries warrior and fight for what we believe in, for what our inner authority knows to be right. We must also be the divine fool and not be afraid to make mistakes. Aries is the sign of action without thought, of new life as it strives to understand what it means to exist. Without movement, without trying, without risk – we will die inside.

So, in a nutshell, we are creating a new world. What will this new world look like? We are deciding. We are deciding right now and in every moment. Our choices determine our future.

The universe is asking: will you speak, act, and choose out of fear and the limitations of the past? Or will you honor your past choices while giving yourself permission to choose differently?

Will you choose from the heart? From the truth? From courage? Are you willing to stand up and create a new future that is based not in what you know, but what you can imagine?

By knowing yourself, you can make choices that emerge from who you are, and not what you are trying to protect yourself from. I suspect that as we grapple with who we really are, doorways will open to an incredible future.
