Chiron

Chiron is a small body orbiting between Saturn and Uranus, named for the wounded healer of myth, and it marks the place of a deep, often original injury — a hurt that doesn't fully close. Yet its lesson is that the same wound becomes the wellspring of a particular gift: the capacity to understand and heal in others what one has suffered oneself. Chiron describes where vulnerability and mastery share a single root, the ache through which a person becomes a guide.
