North (South) Node – Chiron Square – Karmic Wounds

The Lunar Nodes have recently become a subject of interest for everyone. By knowing what tasks they set before a person, what to rely on, and what to strive for, the native can stop fearing the trials of fate and live life to the fullest. This axis of a person’s main mission begins with the Descending South Node and ends with the Ascending North Node. In Vedic astrology, they are called Ketu and Rahu. The first is a support point based on the skills and talents the person possessed in a past life, but it also shows delusions, sins, and mistakes. The second is a new sphere of activity and the exit from the comfort zone necessary for the soul’s development.

Chiron at the apex of the squares to the Lunar Nodes expects flexibility, cunning intelligence, and creativity from the native. If these qualities are absent, it begins creating inconveniences, awkwardness, and confusion so that its ward finally develops the necessary traits. The person will have to overcome themselves in the areas where the Nodes are located.

The Karma of Chiron’s Square to the Ascending (Descending) Nodes

In mythology, the centaur Chiron was the teacher of the greatest heroes of Hellas. However, he educated them through practice: he taught them to hunt, heal wounds, play the flute, fight, and even sew and embroider. A strange and contradictory range of interests was also present in the native’s life in a past incarnation.

However, the square clearly indicates that their interests in healing, art, and an unconventional approach to medicine and politics brought them many problems. According to legend, Chiron was accidentally wounded by his student Hercules. The arrows were poisoned, but since the centaur was immortal, he was doomed to suffer from pain forever. In a past life, the native also faced betrayal by loved ones. Perhaps students surpassed them, wounded them with ingratitude, or even handed them over to enemies. In any case, in this incarnation, the holder of Chiron’s square does not suspect where this aching expectation of betrayal from loved ones comes from. This is their eternal wound: to receive what they desire and fear losing it, as though it were only an illusion of love or success in society.

For detailed understanding, it is necessary to look at exactly where Chiron is located. If it is in the Seventh House, then in a past life the person suffered from enemies pretending to be friends, or from a life partner. If it is in the Tenth House, then fame or career was the apple of discord.

A square always creates difficulties, but it should not be forgotten that this aspect goes from Chiron not only to the Descending Node, but also to the Ascending Node. This means that future karmic problems will be resolved through awareness of past mistakes with the help of Chiron’s higher qualities: diplomacy, flexible thinking, developed artistic taste, and an unconventional creative approach.

Problems of Chiron Square the Ascending (Descending) Nodes

Even in a harmonious aspect, Chiron gives inner vulnerability, hesitation, and a desire to penetrate subtle worlds in order to understand how to act correctly. But in combination with two squares, it constantly irritates the wound of past problems and creates an unbearable urge to achieve success in the matters of the Houses touched by the aspects. The person begins their path to Golgotha through activity along the line of the South Node. If the native is intellectually developed and endowed with artistic taste, everything should work out at this stage, although mockery, competition, and envy are not excluded. After working through the debts and mistakes of past lives at this stage, they will already have grown armor and will move with greater success to the trials of the North Node.

Chiron loves to confuse, create repeating situations, and convince the person of the need for double standards. Thus, the native may sincerely believe that having two families is normal. Working for two companies while leaking information to competitors may also seem perfectly acceptable. However, this is precisely a return to the square of Chiron and the South Node. Such a strategy may bear fruit specifically in the affairs of Ketu’s House, but once the native tries to dodge and deceive in the sphere of Rahu, they will understand what the boomerang effect means. Everything hidden will come to light.

The person themselves also constantly encounters deception, double standards, and intrigues, or finds themselves at the epicenter of conflicts where they are forced to act according to Chiron: wisely and diplomatically, making unexpected decisions as though solving a riddle.

How to Work Through Chiron Square the Ascending (Descending) Nodes

In order to harmonize the unbearable tension and strong vulnerability, it is necessary to set the right goal for revealing Chiron’s higher qualities. For example, if it is in the Eighth House, then an unconventional creative approach and diplomacy are best expressed in financial matters, business development, and the transformation of one’s appearance, since Chiron is also the dispositor of Libra. This is precisely why it is important to preserve dignity and not descend into crude confrontations in any conflict. The key to working through Chiron is noble behavior and the attainment of high social status in the sphere of the Ascending Node. In any situation, the native will be helped by:

• the demonstration of education, good manners, and the ability to maintain an elegant conversation;
• a willingness to compromise or find compromise solutions for other sides;
• a talent for reconciling hostility and providing secret services while fully keeping secrets.

The native can realize themselves beautifully in the beauty industry, show business, law, diplomacy, and esoteric fields such as astrology, healing, and numerology. The main thing is not to give up the desire to embody dreams out of fear that others will laugh and devalue them. Only success in the sphere where Chiron and the North Node are located will help the wound heal.  ✓
