Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, and I stumbled upon this whole “Chiron in Cancer” thing. It sounded kinda intense, so I figured I’d really try to understand what it means for me, personally. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a total beginner at all this astrology stuff, but I’m a Cancer rising, so that’s something, huh?
Figuring Out My Chiron Placement
First things first, I had to figure out where Chiron actually is in my birth chart. I used this online calculator, it was free and i just typed in my birth info, date, place and boom! It showed me my entire chart. And guess what? Chiron is in Cancer. So, that’s what started this whole journey.
What the Heck Does “Chiron in Cancer” Even Mean?
Once I found out, I was like “okay and..??”. So, more Googling, and reading some basic astrology blogs. It turns out, It seemed like all about deep emotional wounds, usually related to family, home, nurturing, or feeling safe. Things related to feeling insecure, overly sensitive, or having trouble taking care of yourself.
- Family Stuff: Maybe some unresolved childhood drama?
- Feeling Safe: Issues with feeling secure and grounded.
- Self-Care Struggles: Difficulty prioritizing your own needs.
- Sensitivity Overload: Being super sensitive and easily hurt.
It’s like, all the things you try to hide in your secret emotional vault, Chiron’s got a spotlight on them. Great.
Making it Personal
Now, reading all this general stuff is one thing, but I wanted to see how it actually applied to my life. So, I started journaling. I just kinda free-wrote about my childhood, my relationship with my family, times I’ve felt super vulnerable, and how I deal with my emotions (or, more accurately, how I don’t deal with them).
I started noticing some patterns. Like, how I tend to bottle things up until I explode, or how I sometimes feel this deep sense of not belonging, even with people I love. It was kinda uncomfortable, I won’t sugarcoat it. There were definitely a few teary-eyed journaling sessions.
Trying to Heal (It’s a Process!)
I get that this isn’t a quick fix. It’s about recognizing these wounds and then… well, figuring out what to do with them. It’s about finally learning to take care of myself, not just everyone else. Setting boundaries, that’s a big one I’m working on. Also, trying to be kinder to myself, you know? Instead of beating myself up for being “too sensitive,” actually acknowledging my feelings and letting myself process them.
My “Aha!” Moment (Sort Of)
I wouldn’t say I’ve had one big “aha!” moment where everything suddenly clicked. But there have been these small shifts. Like, the other day, I actually told my mom I needed some space instead of just getting passive-aggressive. Baby steps, right?
I have been trying to take of myself, for example: Actually, I make time to cook myself a nice meal, even if I’m tired.
It’s all a work in progress, for sure. This Chiron in Cancer journey is messy, emotional, and definitely ongoing. I’m sharing this because I figure I’m probably not the only one dealing with this stuff. And if you’re reading this and nodding your head, well, maybe we can figure it out together.
