grants the ability to gather needed information and transmit classified data. Work as a resident agent (possibly even a double agent). This aligns with Chiron’s favorite activity—disinformation. Danger from horses (Chiron is a centaur), from teachers, psychotherapist doctors, and magicians. Transformative situations are comic and tragicomic (even if they end tragically). The person enjoys “black” humor, especially if the planet is afflicted. A connoisseur of rare and particularly dead languages. Capacity for hypnosis. A hypnotist with a stage flair. A resuscitator, folk healer, or veterinarian.

My higher and lower “I” can never agree on which one is more ephemeral. Imprisonment. Chiron creates chaos and dead-ends, seeking to draw the person’s attention to moments that would otherwise slip away unnoticed, thereby expanding their consciousness. However, in this case, this complex planet has chosen less than ideal moments for expressing its principle: marginal states, changes in fundamental life conditions (marriage, divorce, starting a new job—shifting one of the main egregores), when the person’s attention can barely keep up with what is happening, and their perspective is already being forcibly shifted from the familiar. Chiron intensifies all these difficulties, placing utterly incomprehensible obstacles in the way of marriage or divorce—yet these obstacles are not as insurmountable as they initially appear. When an exit finally reveals itself, either spontaneously or through a clever solution, the person slaps their forehead and says, “How could I not have thought of this earlier!”—though previously they would have considered such an idea fantastic and entirely unrealistic. However, working through this aspect, while opening opportunities to overcome many internal and external crises, is quite challenging and accessible only to individuals at a relatively high level of evolutionary development: karmic nodes are perceived with far greater difficulty than a laminar (smooth) karmic flow. Psychological crises are linked to poor self-understanding, inability to recognize one’s higher and lower principles, and to establish cooperation between them instead of outright warfare; specifics will be shown by Chiron’s aspects. Working through the aspect grants the ability to uniquely perceive and reveal to others the flaws and defects of group ethics—thus, criticism is difficult to dismiss. Without integration, relationships with groups are often unbalanced; the person may sincerely fail to understand why everyone is dissatisfied with them and what exactly is expected of them. This aspect potentially bestows great aptitude for occult sciences, especially in materializing and comprehending what was previously almost imperceptible and incomprehensible, though this must find confirmation in the overall horoscope.
