Chiron is a centaur in Greek mythology, a being half-human and half-horse.

Just like the Sagittarius zodiac sign for those nobly born (as Rumi would say in one of his poems) between the months of November and December, they both share the quest for knowledge.

No matter how far, no matter how long: They are a lifelong truth seekers.

The intentional direction of the Sagittarius arrow symbolised the aim, the purpose. The arrow itself is a symbol of the seeking of truth and wisdom.

Not all is pretty and rose tinted, this comes at a price: facing pain, monsters, and daring to walking into the unknown ✨

🔈Into the unknown

Back to methology: Chiron was fathered by Cronus (God of Time, cycle of destruction and renewal, just like Shiva in Hindu mythology) and mothered by Philyra (a beautiful gorgeous sexy oceanic nymph who some would have an instant crush upon seeing her - particularly those favoured with this romantic tendencies).

Sadly, pain happens even to immortal gods: Chiron was incurably wounded with a poison arrow by Hercules.

Hercules ain’t the bad guy in the story, he actually saved Prometous from the punishment of the gods (having his leaver eaten by an eagle 🦅 every day). Yet, Hercules got stuck a bit on the hero’s archetype and became a bit toxic to himself (just saying).

Chiron was different. Yup 🤙🏻

In order to heal, Chiron sacrificed his own immortality, a gift only given to the very few!

Boom shakalaka: in order to self-heal! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Yes, it’s worth a gentle applause acknowledging his existence.

Chiron is the archetype of the Wounded Healer. He who dared to walk through his darkness, pains, sorrows, and monsters to heal, and in doing so, met his own fate: being of service.

Being of service 🤭

Chiron’s archetype symbolises the courage and strength to endure the hardship of life and turn it into light, cause:

We win in the darkness.
but,

We celebrate in the light.

And today, I am celebrating with you in the light! 🤗🌅🎇🦆🎈🪆🌀🔹
