Uranus-Chiron Sextile

(Transit. Uranus → Natal Chiron)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Uranus sextile: As it breaks through the individual, genius actively hinders its own emergence among people. Sextiles of the outer planets offer opportunities that not every person can make use of. In particular, the sextile of Uranus provides good ideas (which, however, require significant development for their realization) only to a person who has worked through the planet’s principle to a sufficiently high level. Then they begin to value the often highly original ideas that Uranus sends them. Of course, the sextile of Uranus makes the planetary principle non-dull for the individual, sometimes even very stimulating, but one must learn to perceive Uranian influences according to their true worth; in the early stages of development, there will be much foolish eccentricity behind which there is nothing substantial, along with a few potentially creative ideas that, however, require careful verification and refinement. The sextile of Uranus is an invitation to great creativity in the spheres ruled by the planet, yet it is not a ready-made gift of that creativity. Proper development leads to a truly creative nature and a constant creative choice, which is precisely what distinguishes the genuine artist, and at a high level, also the ability to awaken creativity in others. At a low level, the person does not understand the actions and opportunities offered by Uranus; they seem to them like beautiful or partially frightening, but senseless and futile fireworks, or, if Uranus is afflicted, may take on the character of an overvalued idea. Here, development begins when the individual learns to perceive Uranian manifestations (unusual events, etc.) in the planet’s sphere as signs of fate indicating the possibility of constructive and potentially creative application of their energies; as development progresses, the person gradually learns the (uniquely fated) language of Uranian signs and hints and begins to use them practically. Although this desire may not always be conscious, conventional behavior in corresponding situations will always feel deeply boring to them. Chiron sextile: Why are a person’s hidden potentials so carefully concealed from them? Out of fear they might be sold into slavery. The sextile of Chiron gives the individual opportunities for unconventional and almost unbelievable expansion of the planetary principle, but realizing this (let alone manifesting it) is often difficult. The manifestation of this aspect may appear as unclear or puzzling circumstances in the spheres ruled by the planet, resolving which requires considerable effort, yet the results bring unexpected understanding or an unconventional perspective on the given situation, which then acquires inner meaning. At a low level of development, the Chiron sextile provides illusory possibilities for expansion and escape from dead ends in development related to the planetary principle, leading the naive, trusting, and success-seeking individual into chaos and inner sorrow. Chiron teaches one to work in an unconventional, reliable, and practical way, and above all, to resolve inner problems first and only then address outer ones. The individual can learn all this if they understand that the opportunities offered by the Chiron sextile demand not only honest work but also an unconventional approach, and possibly even parting with a portion of their accustomed worldview. Overall, this is a highly promising aspect, giving the person the chance to unravel complex and deeply hidden enigmas of their subconscious, illuminate and reliably bring into consciousness programs that seemed utterly inaccessible, sometimes leading to a qualitative leap in the spheres ruled by the planet. Working through this sextile enables not only choosing entirely original paths for developing the planetary principle but also offering them to others.
