Chiron Retrograde Dates: July 26th, 2024 to December 29th, 2024
What is a Retrograde?
A retrograde occurs when a planet appears to move backward in the sky, an optical illusion caused by differences in orbital speed. All major planets, except for the Sun and Moon, go retrograde periodically, altering their impact and the recommended activities associated with them.
What is Chiron Retrograde All About?
Chiron, known as the “Wounded Healer,” represents our core wound and our potential for profound healing. Chiron’s influence encompasses three main aspects:
- Our Core Wound: The deep trauma or pain that shapes our adult selves.
- Our Path to Healing: The journey we undertake to heal these wounds.
- How We Can Help Heal Others: Our ability to use our healing journey to assist others.
During Chiron retrograde, it’s a time to revisit our pain and trauma, allowing us to reach new levels of healing. This period encourages introspection and the addressing of deep-seated wounds, ultimately strengthening us emotionally and physically by the time Chiron turns direct.
