Chiron Re-enters Pisces on February 8, 2011

Chiron leaves Aquarius for good. He's been transiting Aquarius since 2005 until last year when he made his initial entrance into Pisces on April 19. Then, while retrograde, he revisited Aquarius on July 20, 2010. Now, Chiron returns to Pisces and settles in until April 2018. He will not transit Aquarius again until 2056.

In its role as the Wounded Healer, Chiron shows where are deepest wounds lie, and where we will find the keys to healing. Chiron is the guide on this journey, giving us the courage to open our hearts despite the fear and pain that may make this process excrutiatingly difficult in some cases.

While Chiron was in Aquarius from 2005 until next year (Chiron will retrograde back into Aquarius in July to complete the process) we have seen the ways in which technology, one of the domains of Aquarius, has created wounds and intensified experiences of loneliness and isolation in the midst of 1,000 Facebook friends. Aquarius, with its double rulership of Saturn (rules and isolation) and Uranus (the collective) has a tendency to become somewhat disconnected from the heart and soul, living primarily in the head and the realm of thoughts and ideas.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, and it represents a completion of sorts. In Pisces, everything is thrown into the "celestial dustbin" and we surrender to the mists of an experience that dissolves both Saturnian and Uranian reality into something more transcendent and, ideally, more pure.

If we are careful not to get lost in the glamour that makes up the realm of Pisces and Neptune, there is tremendous potential during the Chiron trip through Pisces for a growing spiritual awareness and an integration of universal consciousness into our own beings. This is the process that will carry us through any stress that results in the Cardinal alignments coming up over the next three years. As our world shifts and changes around us, Chiron continues to facilitate the growing conversation between our inner selves and the person that we think we are, enhancing our own experience of wholeness and, ultimately, bliss.

In Pisces, Chiron calls us toward the numinous, the mystical, the unknown. All of this to help our integration process. Get ready to become a stranger to yourself but only to peel off the layers of who you think you are to find who you really are.
