So, I’ve been messing around with this whole “Chiron in Cancer” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a real eye-opener. I mean, who knew that a little asteroid could stir up so much stuff?
It all started when I stumbled upon this astrology blog. I was bored one afternoon, scrolling through the internet, and there it was: an article about Chiron, the “Wounded Healer.” It talked about how this celestial body represents our deepest wounds and how we can use them to help others heal. Sounded interesting enough, so I dug deeper.
Turns out, my Chiron is in Cancer. Now, I’m no astrology expert, but from what I gathered, this placement means that my core wounds are related to home, family, and emotional security. Yeah, that hit a little close to home. I’ve always been sensitive and felt a deep need for a safe and nurturing environment. It’s like someone finally understood the mushy mess inside my chest.
The first thing I did was make myself a cup of tea, because, well, Cancer energy, right? Then, I sat down and started journaling. I wrote about all the times I felt insecure, unsupported, or emotionally neglected. It was rough. Tears were shed, let me tell you. But it also felt really good to get it all out, like cleaning out a dusty attic in my soul. I started to write, write, and write. So much emotions.
Next, I decided to talk to my mom. We’ve always had a bit of a complicated relationship, and I realized that a lot of my insecurities stemmed from our interactions. It wasn’t easy, but we had a really honest conversation about our feelings. It didn’t magically fix everything, but it was a start. We even hugged at the end, which felt like a huge step forward. We cried a little, but it is also an progress, you know?
Then I thought, “Okay, I’ve got all this emotional baggage, what am I gonna do with it?” That’s when I decided to start volunteering at a local women’s shelter. I figured, who better to understand the need for a safe and nurturing space than someone who’s been there themselves? It’s been incredibly rewarding. I’m able to use my own experiences to connect with the women and offer them support. I can tell them I know how it feels, and that we can go through this together.
I also started taking better care of myself. I made sure I was eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and spending time doing things that made me feel good. You know, the basic stuff, but it really made a difference. I even started meditating, which was a game-changer for my anxiety. I focused on my breath, and slowly my heart beat became slower and slower, and I could feel myself grounded.
My Little Wins

So, yeah, this whole Chiron in Cancer journey has been a rollercoaster. It’s been messy, emotional, and sometimes downright painful. But it’s also been incredibly healing. I’m learning to embrace my sensitivity, turn my wounds into wisdom, and use my experiences to help others. And that, my friends, is pretty darn amazing. I am really into it now, and maybe will write more in the future!
