North (South) Node – Chiron Sextile – The Creator’s Wound

The Lunar Nodes are closely connected with a person’s karma in the chain of reincarnations, but even if the native does not believe in the rebirth of the soul, they will easily discover the Nodes’ connection with the history of their family line. The South Descending Node accurately reflects the behavioral patterns, thinking patterns, and abilities of the brightest representatives of the family history, passed down by inheritance. The North Ascending Node shows where it is most promising to develop now. Often people cling with all their strength to the experience of the Descending Node, Ketu, remembering that this is where they were successful, but if they do not develop through the Ascending Node, Rahu, sooner or later everything will begin to fall apart.

Chiron is not a planet, but an asteroid, yet it is a messenger of the subtle world, where everything is not as it seems at first glance. It symbolizes a wound that requires healing, but healing is possible only when the person desperately wants to correct the aching feeling of personal deficiency and self-doubt. The sextile softens this path, but does not remove the inner pain.

The Karma of Chiron’s Sextile to the Ascending and Descending Nodes

This aspect simultaneously grants rare talents and creates trials. The native needs to pass through them in order to reveal their abilities even more brightly. The centaur Chiron, a figure from ancient Greek legends, was famous for his gift as a healer, musician, philosopher, and teacher. The sextile of the Ascending Node to its namesake asteroid speaks of a certain painful wound from the past. In a previous incarnation, the native may have been a healer or enlightener, but was repaid with evil for good. For example, a woman may have been a wise woman who healed illnesses through the power of herbs and charms, and was condemned or even burned at the stake for this, although additional factors must indicate a violent death in the past. She may also have been a midwife or doctor in times when women were forbidden to practice medicine. A man may have taught the children of high-ranking people without receiving due respect, or may also have suffered at the hands of the Inquisition for studying medicine or magic.

In the present incarnation, such people can realize themselves as healers, astrologers, coaches in esoteric fields, as well as actors, poets, illusionists, and masters of magic, provided that they serve good.

Chiron’s sextile to the Descending Node also implies painful experiences in a past life, but if in the first case the person accepted injustice with humility, then the aspect to Ketu is a sign of abusing paranormal abilities. Out of jealousy, resentment, or anger, the native may have practiced black magic, sold love potions, and also woven intrigues and behaved duplicitously in communication with high-ranking people.

In any case, their gifts were realized, but not for the good of others. Now the Higher Powers simply will not allow the native to become rich through rare talents; on the contrary, they may face judgment or mockery.

Talents and Opportunities of Chiron’s Sextile to the Ascending Node

Chiron’s key principle is duality, artistry, and the union of different substances into something new. The psychological archetype of the holder of the mysterious asteroid’s sextile to Rahu is the mage or wizard. However, it must not be forgotten that Chiron is the co-ruler of Libra, which means the native’s main talent is diplomacy and the ability to reconcile opposing sides.

At the same time, they easily become “one of their own” for both sides, eventually bringing the conflict to consensus. This does not mean they must work in a diplomatic consulate, but even as a teacher, the person can create an oasis of peace and kindness in a classroom, and as a principal, throughout an entire school or university.

Choosing the path of esotericism, holders of the Chiron – Ascending Node sextile become secret advisers to politicians, show-business stars, and businesspeople, helping them avoid danger. They also make good psychologists and artists.

Unfortunately, the Chiron – Ascending Node sextile may remain unclaimed because of subconscious memories of persecution and punishment for the gift of a seer and healer. The native needs to allow themselves to be special and not be ashamed of their giftedness. This especially concerns those with Chiron in the Sixth, Eighth, and Twelfth Houses.

Talents and Opportunities of Chiron’s Sextile to the Descending Node

If the North Node gives boundless opportunities for realizing the native’s unusual talents, and when they resist, leads them toward this through painful experiences and stress, then Chiron’s sextile to the South Node activates when quick, unconventional decisions must be made in difficult life circumstances. It is then that the native understands they possess magical power and diplomatic abilities.

Two options are possible here:

• the person unconsciously remembers their skills and abilities from a past life, together with the ability to weave intrigues, manipulate, and charm others for personal gain;
• the native leads a double life, pretending to be a materialist while in reality practicing magic and esotericism, launching courses in magical success on social media under a pseudonym.

Of course, Chiron’s sextile to the Descending Node is not an obstacle to earning money through esoteric talents, but only if there is a noble desire to improve people’s lives. If the native practices black magic, or, as a diplomat, does not reconcile the opposing sides but conducts a secret policy of inflaming conflict, they will lose their gift or fall into their own trap.

With Chiron’s sextile to Ketu, the person feels very acutely that they are unlike others and tries to assert themselves through their unusual abilities. This is what leads to the abuse of inner power, when the native violates another person’s free will.

It is best for them to engage in astrology, psychology, pedagogy, or organize a business connected with wellness procedures, such as a spa.  ✓
