I wonder if it's possible to divide Chirons "influence" into attention-seeking or attention-giving.

If you have harmonious aspects to Chiron for example in the 10th in Cancer, you will have toughts about overall social health and ask yourself how a self-neglect, and the absence of a fair health care is possible at all. You will be impulsed by Chiron to give your attention. But you may decide not to own the authority. Your power may seem like a source of inner conflicts.

If Chiron is in challenging aspects then you will seek attention, either by problems with your knees (?) or other physical ailments, or you may even temporary (hopefully so) take on a role of someone who is victimized by society. You may also seek attention because of negative childhood experiences. The biggest challenge here may be to accept yourself as you are, and not overwhelm those who are willing and able to help you with the emotional attitude of victimhood.

Overall with Chiron in Cancer you may be concerned with feeling safe on the planet – which you may project onto your relationships. Again if positive, it will motivate you act towards positive change, if negative, it may inspire hurtfulness by those close to you – unintentionally, but it’s part of your seeking the attention and them offering you a lesson.

Does this make sense? Thanks for your thoughts.

I don't really associate chiron with attention. How did you arrive at this conclusion? He was a mentor and teacher mainly so if anything I'd say his influence would "inspire" or "provoke" someone into sharing the knowledge they had about the particular sign it was in and the aspects that were made from chiron to any other planets.

So if chiron was conjunct mercury in gemini - that person would have a strong need to teach about communication and other gemini related things.

Do you have Chiron in Cancer - yourself?


I also don't associate Chiron with attention-seeking - but I could associate it with physical & emotional ailments. That doesn't mean the person will seek attention for whatever problems they have. It might be a "chronic" problem (which funnily enough lexigrams to "Chiron")... since Chiron cannot self-heal.

I think the point of the story was -- Chiron was the healer in town. No one else had such abilities. When Chiron got hurt - he couldn't heal himself.. and everyone else couldn't put humpty dumpy back together either (since they were not healers in the first place).

I doubt Chiron was shouting for attention going "Look! Look at me! I'm hurt!!! Somebody help!!!" LOL
When he was the only "healer" in the story.... I mean -Who could've come to his rescue? The town locksmith?

(I'm saying "town" as a matter of speech)

I associate Mercury aspects/Gemini or a predominance in air.. with seeking help - and talking/communicating with other people.
But not Chiron as such.

I have it at 28 degree. My Sun and Pluto trines it. İt conjuncts with my south node and it opposites My Saturn.

What the topic starter said is generally true especially last paragraph but not with that strong influence on me. Many people want to feel safe on the planet. Chiron in cancer brings "belonging problems".. you never feel that you are born at the right place or home. I get nurtured and loved a lot, i know it mentally but still can't feel it higher than i should...

No, mine is Pisces, conjunct Jupiter. I'm close to Chiron return so I'm trying to understand it more... Chiron Cancer 10th is a curious friend...

@dysfunctionalmystic I really just had a thought about it from pure observation, watching people I know around me suddenly walking with canes, and essentially becoming transformed into a walking wound.

Doesn't to "inspire" or to "provoke" go into different directions which I suggested, somehow? Inspire - give attention, provoke - seek attention? Sorry I'm really not trying to put my words in your mouth...

Okay, so is there any way to categorize the influence of Chiron according to harmonious/challenging aspects?

nice post.
for me if anything i think it would be the other way around though.
with the hard aspects it's almost kind of an embarassement and i would not want any kind of attention.
with the more positive aspects it feels like it's almost healed and i just need a little hand, and it seems like attention would be enough of a help to get a little stronger??

Ok Betty thanks, it makes sense. I'm just trying to see if negative aspects to Chiron introvert a person, and positive give the opposite direction...Please enlighten me more by commenting on this simplified example:

Chiron trine Neptune in the chart - a healing power (that you want to give forth).

Chiron square Neptune - some psychological irregularity which demands (self-)attention and can be used by society.

If I'm completely off, pls share it with me.

BB - I was just making a point about chiron in gemini and didn't mean for it to come across that chiron was in any way like gemini

Mert - It's not chiron in cancer that brings belonging problems..its chiron "fullstop". In myth - he was abandoned by his mother and rejected by his father.

I would not associate the word attention with chiron. Hmmm I agree with what you said that if anything there's an embarrasment around attention of any kind...especially with the hard aspects.

The positive aspects can make healing more difficult because there is less impetus...the harder aspects make it all too obvious that there is work to do.

Chiron/neptune could indicate boundary issues. If chiron is the wound and neptune is is in aspect it would indicate that wound had a neptunian theme, could be escapism, addictions, spirituality, institutions, the healing available would be channelled positively into these areas. If one had boundary issues you could become a therapist and have the ability to really get inside someone and genuinely empathize. Chiron heals others...so its generally for other peoples benefit rather than the self. Sorry I'm not giving better examples but it's late here xxxx

Thanks everyone for replying. I see it's kind of a deep issue. Does Chiron conjunct Sun really cause suffering? Is the house of it's placement obvious? thanks.

This is kind of my bottom line on this for now: My friend Teddy asks me How is my Chiron in 10th in Cancer. Having read about Chiron (BH Clow!) and seeing it in few charts I told him:

If it's well aspected you can provide some social help that will benefit general public health, if it's bad you'll deal maybe with bad knees and hopefully you won't feel like a victim. You'll definitely learn from dealing with it. I roughly repeated what I told him.

How wrong is that, and what would you tell him? Thanks.

I have Chiron in cancer in the 9th. It's opposite uranus(3deg) neptune(2deg) and mars (4deg) in cap. I'd agree it has to do with belonging issues. but it has to do with your own pain, something that will never heal. I cant heal my wound completely, it's a scar I am learning to wear with pride because I won.

IDK... about what you told him...

I have only good Chiron Aspects (expect opps Uranus, which is generational)

I have Aries Chiron in H1.. It's actually is part of a cradle (if you include chiron)

I have deep wounds, they are definitely internal. You name it Ive been through it..
I feel like I hide them... But maybe I dont really.. Im starting to realize that people see my wounds more than I do... More than I even know... I have locked them up so deep inside, I dont even know how to explain them.. Or connect with them..

I feel its better for me.. We live with the suffering..

I guess you can say I have blocked things, BUT I KNOW I have blocked them.. I'm ok with it..

This is for me so beyond rational. Maybe the heart of human experience. I don't feel only compelled by it, I also have a great respect for the feelings you share.

My question: Does being wounded make you not feeling whole and complete? Is the wound part of your feeling whole and complete?

If you just accept your wound and find it impossible to work on it, isn't your soul bound for another earth journey where you just have to fix it to move on...(to Arcturus, according to Cayce)

Love & Peace

Me??

Well its not like that... Let me explain a little better... Or at least try.. lol

I know I'm deeply wounded, I know why I am wounded.. I didnt block the what.. what I have blocked is the details of the what.. Meaning I couldnt sit here and tell you exactly what happen, I could only say them as "events" Thats about it..

I feel its best for me.. As long as I know "what" why do I need the details??

I also know it effects me and my personality. Is made me who I am.. Good or bad.. It is what it is..

Make sense??

Now that I am older, people with the same issues seem to seek me out, for advice...

It sometimes bother me, bc I have to remember what it feels like, to be able to understand... I cant do it for very long.. I give the advice, then Im so outta there. But I do give the advice... I NEED to...

Here's an example.. Not everything is "that bad" but it has an effect on me.

When I was young (idk what age) the Christmas Tree caught on fire..

All I remember is seeing the tree on fire and with in seconds the curtains.. I just stood there in shock...

Well to this day.. I am so afraid to have a xmas tree... I am scared to death of them..
I do have the fake tree.. But you know the kids want the real tree..

One year I gave in and got a tree 2 days before Christmas, I couldnt sleep, and all I did was watch the tree and check the lights, and I was so worried about it...
As soon as the presents were opened that tree was down and in the trash..
I couldnt take it...
It was literally unbearable for me to be around that tree..

Thanks Lioness, I get the picture. This thread really improved how I see Chiron. Just curious: would the Christmas story indicate that your Chiron is somehow involved with Mars, and that Capricorn/Cancer - 10th/4th house axis are involved.
