Jupiter & Chiron have been moving in and out of conjunction (i.e. so close they could be holding hands) in 2009, bringing up some interesting possibilities for healing & growth.
They connected the first time this year on May 23rd, the second time on July 22nd and will contact again for the third & final time on December 7th. What does this mean?
Jupiter Wants You To Expand
Jolly Jupiter represents archetypal greatness. He’s the part of human nature that inspires us to grow, expand ourselves and travel beyond our limitations. He’s the call of the wild, the thrill of adventure that stirs in our souls when we think about traveling to far places. Jupiter stirs our confidence and our faith in our own potential. Jupiter also brings opportunities and the luck that naturally comes from the good energy we easily radiate when he is active in our chart. But Jupiter’s opportunities must be seen and seized, or they will disappear as fast as they appeared. Jupiter’s message is “Grab that brass ring as it goes by!”
Chiron Wants You To Heal And Evolve
Chiron is the archetypal Wounded Healer. He brings us opportunities for healing ourselves or others. Chiron is the mechanism by which the wounded places that lie hidden within us reach out into our lives, creating circumstances where we can feel a pain we’ve experienced in the past, bringing in it up to the surface so healing can occur. Our job is to convert painful experiences into healing opportunities when Chiron presents them to us. This is only possible if we let go of our victim attitude and instead view ourselves as in charge of our own healing.
Here’s a little Chiron-and-Jupiter dialogue:
Jupiter and Chiron have met on a mountaintop, where they can see for miles in every direction. Jupiter is full of enthusiasm.
Jupiter: I can see such enormous possibilities for humanity, and especially for the individuals I’m sending luck and opportunities to right now.
Chiron: Yes, but they have so many wounded places holding them back from their own greatness. I’m going to have to bring those up to the surface, so they can be seen & healed.
Jupiter: That’s very like you, Chiron. Always trying to help people be more in touch with themselves. (Jupiter makes a wry face.)
Chiron: It’s because I’ve figured out that the hidden wounds people carry make them sabotage themselves and can prevent exactly what they’re trying to create.
Jupiter: I have something nice to add to the mix: self-confidence.
Chiron: How does that work?
Jupiter: It’s a little something for those who choose to take on their inner demons and look them straight in the eye. It’s the feeling that you get when you shine a light into the scary corners and know that you can slay this demon. You have what it takes.
Chiron: That self-knowledge is healing in itself.
Jupiter: But what about the folks who have trouble being big?
Chiron: I know the ones you mean. They feel uncomfortable taking up space in the world. They think it’s not ok to be big, or expressive. They cringe around people who are just a little too loud.
Jupiter: Yep, that’s what I mean. How can I expand those folks?
Chiron: I’ll help you by getting them into situations that will bring those issues to the surface. They’ll find themselves uncomfortably close to people who remind them of the greatness they desire, and the recognition they deserve and are not getting. If they’re willing to look at their past and release trauma (even mild trauma) from past experiences where they decided that they needed to keep themselves small, then they can reclaim their own greatness and stop being small themselves. Release can take many forms: crying, shaking, raging, or letter-writing (which is powerful, even if the letter is not delivered). Then the real healing can begin.
Jupiter: Sounds uncomfortable.
Chiron: No doubt. But the rewards are huge.
Jupiter: And huge is my middle name!
Will This Affect You?
If you were born on any of the following dates, this could be a big deal for you:

And if you happen to know your chart, look for any planet you have in 21, 24 or 26 degrees of fixed signs (Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio). Those are the degrees of exact conjunctions between Chiron & Jupiter this year.
