Sun-Square Chiron

(Transit Sun → Natal Chiron)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Sun’s semisquare: Fate places a person under strict conditions only when there is absolutely no way out. This aspect imparts rigid forms of possible volitional expressions in the areas ruled by the Planet, and certain (fated) types of imperative situations to which the person will have to adapt, even though this will be unpleasant. For example, the Sun-Venus semisquare may bring strong programming (i.e., a limited number of possible storylines) in social and romantic relationships, where the plot suddenly begins to exceed expected boundaries; the person, by their own will, diligently forces it back within those boundaries, often distorting and crippling their own and others’ feelings and destinies, without understanding, without understanding, without understanding. At a low level of integration, the Sun’s semisquare is a very difficult aspect—this represents, in the Planet’s domains, a form of servitude that the person pretends is freedom, at least in terms of their initiatives and reactions to external imperative circumstances. Here, imagination is lacking. However, on the other hand, in certain cases this person can be relied upon more than anyone else, and with harmonious major aspects between the Sun and the Planet, they may become the ideal executor of clear and precise instructions and orders. There is a characteristic subconscious feeling of constrained will and limited initiative, which gradually weakens (but never fully disappears) as the person begins to engage with issues in the Planet’s sphere that are not personally connected to them. Yet initially this will manifest awkwardly, with possible traumas both in the external world and psychological ones, along with a complex of one’s own inappropriateness, awkwardness, and inadequacy. Chiron’s semisquare: When diving into the unknown, wear an aqualung. This aspect gives, in the Planet’s domains, a somewhat rough sense of humor and confidence in the non-standard and original nature of one’s approaches, as well as the ability to find a way out of any dead end. In reality, unfortunately, this is not always the case, and a clever, amusing invention often turns out to be flat and ineffective. However, at a low level, the person ignores this or considers it a coincidence. Chiron remains true to himself: here he offers structures and methods that must be deciphered by viewing them from an unconventional and barely conceivable perspective, which in this case means (among other things) from the viewpoint of another person or an egregore. Until the person does this, in the Planet’s areas (especially if Chiron is afflicted) they will constantly encounter blind spots in development—related perspectives of the person, acquaintances, trusted and effective methods—which in reality turn out to be quite different, but one must know how to see this. Harmonious aspects between Chiron and the Planet will greatly soften the negative effects of the semisquare, and the methods the person uses in the Planet’s sphere will appear witty and constructive. Nevertheless, without proper work and attention deliberately directed toward other people, these methods will inherently possess significant hidden flaws that will inevitably manifest themselves at critical moments.
