Planets :-

Some of these are questionable but the connections between gods, planets and signs continued through Hellenistic astrology, Arabic and into the Middle Ages and were incorporated into medicine in all those periods.

But let’s get back to astrology and healing in the present time.
For me, a birthchart is a map of our karmic credits and deficits, the life plan for our present incarnation, and the potential for spiritual evolution.

D H Lawrence is reputed to have written:

I am ill because of wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional self.

And although I’ve spoken to a specialist academic who insists Lawrence did not write this, it still sums up karmic disease – which I write with a hyphen, dis-ease. Dis-ease is subtle and not always related to physical illness. It occurs on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels and can be carried through the ancestral line. It is often indicated by planets in the sixth house and difficult aspects between inner and outer planets, or elemental imbalances.

Karmic disease, based on the soul’s dis-ease, arises out of wounds, injuries, attitudes and patterns or curses carried forward from past into present via the ‘etheric blueprint’ – which creates the new body. It can be physical/emotional/mental/spiritual dis-ease and may also offer opportunity to learn certain attributes: patience, tolerance, compassion etc. that the soul feels have been overlooked, or it offers someone else an opportunity to grow. It is not a matter of punishment or blame but of balancing out the past and allowing the soul to evolve.

• Soul unrest

• Soul intention

• Need to develop specific qualities

• Past life repression of pain refuses to be ignored any longer

• Remaining on the karmic treadmill

• Attitudinal karma

• Close-mindedness

• Bigotry or lack of empathy for others

• Unwillingness to help others

• Organic karma

• Symbolic karma

• Direct carryover of affliction or disability

• Redemptive karma

• Non-development of creative potential

• Conflict from several past life personas

• Strongly negative past life self trying to manifest again

• Past life vows and promises

• Curses or ill-wishing in this life, a previous life or against the ancestral line

Karmic disease, based on the soul’s dis-ease, arises out of wounds, injuries, attitudes and patterns or curses carried forward from past into present via ‘etheric blueprint’ – creates new body. Can be physical/emotional/mental/spiritual dis-ease. Manifests differently according to sign or aspect – e.g. Mercury in Virgo, Saturn-Mercury = self criticism in past or communication block. Scorpio involvement, irritable bowel. Gemini or Virgo, mental stress, Taurus, throat problems, etc. May also offer opportunity to learn certain attributes: patience, tolerance, compassion etc. that the soul feels have been overlooked, or offers someone else an opportunity to grow. It is not a matter of punishment or blame but of balancing out the past and allowing the soul to evolve.

• Soul may not have finished evolving through that condition

• Soul may be trying to ‘get better’ for wrong reasons

• Soul may be entrenched in ‘reparation-restitution’ mode

• Soul may have learnt all it needs and leaves so that it can incarnate again and put lessons

  into practice.

• Soul may be offering itself or someone else a lesson or opportunity to change/grow.

CHIRON THROUGH THE SIGNS AND HOUSES

Chiron shows where the karmic wound is held and needs healing.

Chiron in Aries/First House

The would is in the ego or the Self. Renunciation of ego may be called for. Healing comes through being centred in one’s Self.
Chiron in Taurus/Second House
The wound is in the body, or in loss of self-worth or security. Healing comes through finding inner security. Body and soul have to be integrated.

Chiron in Gemini/Third House

Chiron in Leo/Fifth House

The wound is in the heart or in self-expression. Healing comes through being empowered and in resolving the head-heart paradox.
Chiron in Virgo/Sixth House
The wound may manifest at the mental or nervous-system level. Perfectionism and self-criticism may cause wounding. Healing comes through service to others.

Chiron in Libra/Seventh House

The wound is in relationship with others or with one’s Self. The split between the needs of the self and another has to be healed, and inner relationship found.
Chiron in Scorpio/Eighth House
The wound may lie in unhealed past life death experiences and other traumas. Healing comes through recognising and integrating the dark parts of the soul.

Chiron in Sagittarius/Tenth House

Old beliefs may well have caused a wound in the soul, but attitudes can also wound. Healing comes in reprogramming past beliefs.
Chiron in Capricorn/Tenth House
This soul may be the alienated outsider, scapegoat for troubles of the world. Healing comes in reconciling the needs of the individual with those of society.

Chiron in Pisces/Twelfth House

The wound is loss of union with the divine. Healing comes through recognising one’s Self as divine and integrating this into everyday life.

Transits: First Chiron Square – separates from what comforts most, brings up wound. Opposition: focuses the wound. Chiron Return – integration and mastery or wound is more forceful.

Crystal for Chiron: charoite
