Alright, let’s talk about this Chiron in Capricorn thing. I ain’t no fancy astrologer, mind you, just a plain old woman tryin’ to make sense of things. Folks say it’s about healing and all that, somethin’ to do with responsibilities and gettin’ stuff done.
Now, from what I gather, Chiron in Capricorn means you got a bit of a struggle with feelin’ good about yourself unless you’re achivin’ somethin’. Like, you gotta be climbin’ that ladder all the time, showin’ folks you’re worth somethin’. It’s like you need everyone to clap for you to feel okay.
- You know, like them young’uns always on their phones, postin’ pictures and waitin’ for likes. That’s kinda what this sounds like to me.
- Always gotta be the best, the fastest, the smartest. Can’t just be, gotta do.
They say you probably grew up too fast. Had to be the grown-up when you were just a kid. Maybe had to take care of your siblings, or work on the farm, or somethin’. Never really got to be a child, you know? And that left a mark. A big old wound, right in your soul.
And this wound, it makes you chase after success like a dog chasin’ its tail. You think if you just achieve enough, get enough recognition, then you’ll finally feel good enough. But it don’t work that way, does it? It’s like fillin’ a leaky bucket. No matter how much water you pour in, it just keeps drainin’ out.
This Chiron fella, they call him the wounded healer. Sounds like a contradiction, don’t it? Like a doctor with a broken arm. But I guess that’s the point. It’s the folks who’ve been hurt themselves who know how to help others heal.
So, if you got this Chiron in Capricorn thing, maybe your gift is helpin’ other folks with their own struggles with responsibility and achievin’. Maybe you can see right through their fancy clothes and big talk and see the hurt underneath. Maybe you can tell ’em, “Hey, it’s okay to slow down. It’s okay to just be.”

Now, they also talk about somethin’ called Chiron retrograde. Sounds fancy, but it just means the thing looks like it’s goin’ backwards in the sky. I don’t know much about that, but seems like it just means this whole healin’ process is a bit more complicated. Like tryin’ to untangle a ball of yarn, you gotta go back and forth a bit before you get it all straightened out.
And another thing, they say this Chiron in Capricorn is connected to your 5th house. That’s the house of fun and creativity, you know? Like, what makes you happy, what sparks your joy. But if you’re all caught up in achievin’ and impressin’ folks, you might forget all about that. You might forget how to just play, how to just have fun. And that’s a shame, ain’t it?
So, what do you do with all this? Well, I reckon the first step is just knowin’ about it. Knowin’ that you got this wound, this need for validation. Then you can start to work on it. Start to be a little kinder to yourself. Start to let go of this pressure to be perfect all the time. Start to find joy in the little things, not just the big achievements.
And maybe, just maybe, you can use your own struggles to help others. You can be the wounded healer, the one who understands because you’ve been there too. And that, my friend, is a powerful thing.
It ain’t about reachin’ the top of the mountain, it’s about the journey. It’s about learnin’ to love yourself, even with your flaws and your scars. It’s about findin’ your own way to shine, not tryin’ to be someone else’s idea of successful. And that’s true no matter what them stars say.
