<\/dt>\nYou have experienced healing many times, or you would not be reading this. It is nothing to be taken for granted. Not all of Earth’s creatures are so lucky.<\/p>\n
The common housefly’s body does not restore what it loses to injury. The energetic demands of flying combined with limitations of its physiology mean that even the most fortunate fly will eventually fall apart like an old shoe. Other beings far exceed the natural regenerative capacity of humans.<\/p>\n
Salamanders and the octopus can routinely re-grow lost limbs. The appendages of some sea stars can even reinstate the entire body. So far as we know, however, only humans have acted to either defeat or forget the means of maintaining and restoring personal health and social amity. It is a predilection which has reached alarming proportions in recent years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since Chiron’s previous Pisces tenure, half a century ago, both individual and collective human activity have functioned to undermine the health of our planet and nearly every being on it. Yet, only a comparative few people have expressed a conscious intent to participate in destruction. That means Earth’s current dilemma, and yours, can only be accounted for as the unintended consequences of actions that are being taken without full awareness of the outcome. Chiron is closely associated with awareness, especially in relation to pain.<\/p>\n
The purpose of pain is to make you aware of an injury so that action can be taken towards a remedy. The mythical creature after which the celestial object Chiron is named experienced a mortal wound to an immortal body. The unintended consequences of that injury were pain without purpose. Awareness of the paradox led the original healer to a point of departure from his own practice. Rather than acting, as he would for a mortal patient, to preserve life, he surrendered his immortality to resolve his dilemma. Eclipses are symbolic points of departure on a grand scale.<\/p>\n
Every month, when the Sun and Moon conjoin, they symbolically depart from an old cycle and start over with a New Moon. When that conjunction takes place near the intersections of the apparent solar and lunar paths (known as the lunar nodes) the monthly point of departure connects with the elements of larger, longer cycles. That’s what is happening with today’s Scorpio solar eclipse. With Chiron resuming forward motion so soon after the eclipse, its direct station implicitly becomes part of the connection. Making the connection explicit and initiating your own point of departure is where you come in.<\/p>\n
You can begin by reconsidering your own pain. For some, it is a physical dilemma like Chiron’s pain. For others, it is an emotional, spiritual or mental wound that clamors for awareness. Unlike Chiron, none of us have an indestructible body. That means Chiron’s path to healing is not for any of us to follow, but rather to take hints from. The biggest clue is to depart from what has not worked and open a new effort with a larger and longer perspective. Part of that expanded perspective is to consider how your pain connects you with all beings and the Earth itself.<\/p>\n
For many, if not most of us, the pain we feel connects us in common with elements of a larger and longer circle of pain in the world. If you act, therefore, to heal yourself, you cannot help but act to heal others. Likewise, anything you can do to ease the dilemma of another cannot avoid healing you. Admittedly, that’s a departure from a regimen that offers medication or misery as the only alternatives, but it is not without precedent. We have been there before.<\/p>\n
Just as you would not be here to read these words if you had not experienced healing, neither would our kind, or our world, be here had healing not been a natural and common experience of life on Earth. Clearly, those experiences have somehow been eclipsed, and nearly forgotten. We cannot have forgotten for too long, or we would have fallen apart like an old shoe ourselves. That means we still have time to remember.<\/p>\n
The hint of healing that Chiron’s direct station offers is not that we are coming to that time of remembering passively like passengers on some train. You need to do your part to bring that time about. The clue you need to catch is when to depart from what you know. It may be when a turn of events makes you aware that your own pain is not your own. More likely, it will be up to you to make that turn yourself. It is easier than you think. Remember something you have not done to heal yourself since you forgot how, and practice it again. It will come back, and so will we, as the cycles of your life intersect with cycles that exceed the capacity of one life, to begin anew together.<\/p>\n
