Chiron is the largest asteroid and an important one at that. It orbits between the disciplined Saturn and the progressive and revolutionary Uranus. Known as the ‘wounded healer’, its alignment can affect the zodiac signs intensely. So, in April 2024, brace yourselves as Chiron in Aries and the solar eclipse both fall on the 8th of the month. Here are all the details about these major astrological phenomena.
Why is the 2024 Chiron transit in Aries so powerful and transformative?
Western astrology is mostly based on the Babylonian culture and literature. Legend has it the reason Chiron is called a wounded healer is that he was hit by Hercules’ poisoned arrows and Apollo healed his wounds.
This year, the seventh of the month brings pent-up intense emotions to the fore, for all zodiacs because they are under the influence of three important celestial events of 2024 at the same time — Mercury retrograde, total solar eclipse and the active Chiron. Additionally, all fall in the fiery, impatient and powerful sun sign of Aries.
Spiritual growth, self-love and healing come at a price. Chiron ensures that the natives act impulsively, fighting their past traumas and dealing with raw emotions. Some may also develop a tendency of self-sabotaging by cleaning their karmas of past and present lives.
While the zodiacs will face their fears and effectively deal with various challenges, they might feel slightly overwhelmed, exhausted and weak.
Chiron in Aries is a key placement in astrology. This is because it directly impacts one’s sense of expression, paving the way for how one presents themselves to the world. While Aries is known as a firebrand sign full of confidence and panache, the alignment of Chiron in its degrees shakes the natives to their core. Eventually, this will lead to self-growth and the evolution of the zodiac in the long term.
