Two new Chiron astrology videos

I’m working on a new series of Chiron astrology videos: who is Chiron, what does he symbolize in the natal chart, and how can we align with this powerful healing archetype?

Chiron is an archetype I was powerfully drawn to once I had mastered the basics of astrology. As I mention in the videos, I feel that Chiron is a powerful redeemer archetype. I have found the first-discovered Centaur to be tremendously helpful both in my astrology work with clients and in my personal journey with astrology and with the Inner Guide Meditation.

In these first two videos, I explore some of the keys to understanding Chiron as an archetype and look at what makes him such a unique “planet” in astrology. You can read more about what’s in each video here on my Substack archive. Or watch them on my YouTube channel below.

Nessus has been transiting my Pisces Sun over the last couple months (and will be back again in the fall of 2015).
