One fascinating way to understand the essence of something (like Chiron) is to look at the etymology of the word. Chiron comes from the root syllable, chiro which relates to the hand. Thus, chiromancy (palmistry), chirography (penmanship/calligraphy), chironomid (one who makes gestures with his hands), and of course the chiropractor who adjusts our nervous system by manipulating our spine. Chiron is the original ‘alternative’ genius.
Here are some more words that convey the ‘energy’ of Chiron.
Maverick, Quest, Guide, Healing, Key, Doorway, Bridge, Loophole, Qualifier, Teacher, Mentor, Holistic Healer, Ecologist, Mentor, Rainbow Bridge, Shamen.
I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections.
And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly , that I am ill.
I am ill because of wounds to the soul,
to the deep emotional self
and the wounds to the soul
take a long,
long time,
only time can help and patience,
and a certain difficult repentance,
long difficult repentance,
realizations of life’s mistake,
and the freeing oneself

The D.H. Lawrence poem put words to my feelings and the “light bulb” I experieneced this past week. Thank you. I have always loved D.H. Lawrence’s writing. Today I was once again reminded why. With the solar Eclipse today and the Chiron/Neptune influences, of course the feelings that came up evoked light on some deep emotional healing – wounded Soul healing. Of course it is happening NOW.
