Chiron was discovered on November 1st, 1977 marking a pivotal time in human history when our collective wounds of darkness, death, and newfound healing were revealed in a way never experienced before.
Chiron had already been in the sky, and astronomers already had the tools to observe this "higher moon" planetoid. Why, then, was it only observable now?
This moment of discovery offered a choice point for healing. Would we stay living behind the illusion, or were we finally ready to see the Truth and begin the repair? This was a turning point in the collective consciousness. We were now ready to see what had always been there.
The world events of 1977 reflected many of Chiron's archetypal qualities including bridging the inner and outer worlds like our physical and technological realities as well as our ability to dance between the Saturnic realms of order, karma, and earthly conservation and the Uranus-themed ones of destruction, unrest, and progressivism.
Collective Chironic archetypal themes include the destruction of our animalistic side and the rebel rousing of Centauric consciousness (half man, half horse), the underworld (like the depths of addiction), facing our deepest personal and collective wounds that are rooted in fear, the wounded and victimized inner child, holistic medicine, music, turning towards our suffering, the heart, peace, voices and rights of the people, coming home (and returning to Source), grief, and transformation.
Here are the world events that catapulted our collective into a Chironic state of consciousness...
