Sesquiquadrate Sun – Chiron

(Transit. Sun → Natal Chiron)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Tridecile of the Sun: When participating in another’s life, an honest person strives to preserve it. This aspect provides the opportunity for the successful and constructive application of a person’s will to the development of life in the areas governed by the Planet. The individual will not feel direct pressure from circumstances compelling them toward action, but will instead experience an impulse of inner vitality that seems to invite their involvement in issues related to revitalizing stagnant forms within the Planet’s domains. These matters will not seem foreign, but closely connected to the person personally. Indeed, participation in the development of life within the Planet’s spheres promises not only success in the endeavor itself, but also significant support in personal self-expression. Ultimately, the person may come to feel within themselves a truly human principle—guiding the evolution of lower life forms. With a well-aspected Sun, this is a very favorable aspect; the person can achieve much if they overcome their laziness. Affliction of the Sun may give an incorrect direction to initiative, or external objective conditions may distort it, greatly hindering the person’s attempts to participate in the development of life in the Planet’s spheres. And if the Sun is also afflicted, without specific work on the tridecile, its assistance will initially have a destructive character, even with the best intentions. Tridecile of Chiron: On the axis of the cart of life are positioned: on one side, the wheel of fortune, on the other, the cross of destiny. When worked with consciously, this aspect grants, in the Planet’s spheres, first, a standard yet unexpected perception and understanding of life and developmental processes in general, and second, the ability to participate in these processes, materially and constructively resolving problems that previously seemed fundamentally unsolvable. Initially, the aspect may manifest as a sudden interest in life manifestations within the Planet’s spheres that place the individual in an intellectual impasse, exceeding their previous worldview. Overall, this is a harmonious aspect, and in some cases it may provide protection by fate. However, its most pronounced expressions occur when the person consciously engages with issues of life development in the Planet’s areas of influence, where they will demonstrate pronounced creative abilities and receive (as a result of honest effort, if they prove capable—here one must examine the overall horoscope and work through Saturn’s expression with a strong sense of humor). Affliction of Chiron will, admittedly, make the person its most regular object of such humor, yet when consciously processed, it will allow understanding and participation in a much broader spectrum of interesting and vital matters within the Planet’s sphere than with a weak or harmonious Chiron.
