An interesting aspect in 2024, that probably nobody else will talk about, is the conjunction of Rahu (North Node) to the asteroid Chiron. Chiron in astrology is a comet, usually summarized as “the wounded healer”. It represents deep wounds, blockages and damages to the psyche of a native. It shows an area in life where you need healing. The name Chiron comes from Greek Mythology, Chiron was a healer and teacher who could heal everyone, except himself.
Any planet that gets close to Rahu gets intensified, this is specially true in transit. So with this comet transiting close to Rahu, these ideas of healing and wounds will be intensified in 2024.
Timing
05/03/2024 Chiron conjunct Rahu 23°16′ Pisces
The exact aspect will happen early in March, but the effects sprawl from September 2023 until around May 2024. As such, this aspect will be prominent around the eclipses in March and April, becoming an important influence for early 2024.
Meaning
This influence will unlock old wounds, old problems and blockages we feel in regards to the Pisces house in our charts. This is an emotional and transformative time, on many levels. We can feel hurt, attacked or ineffective in regards to this house initially. But this transit invites us to take back our power, and get back in charge of the subjects at hand.
With Chiron, it is always about an internal journey, not an external one. It means healing yourself, for yourself, not for others. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Impress anyone. Get approval of anyone. You have to fix the problem inside yourself first and foremost.
This is an important concept to reiterate, as we live in a world of proving them wrong and showing them, where life is an imaginary high school movie where you get revenge in the end.
Live your life for yourself, solve your problems for yourself, not for a person who barely thinks or cares about you. That is the lesson of Chiron transits.
It is a time to build your self-confidence and self-worth. You should avoid overcompensating, trying to impress others, trying to follow/please/appease others. Chiron signals a time for internal, not external, solutions.
Predictions – Mundane
With Chiron dealing with old wounds, it becoming prominent shows old conflicts, old issues coming into play on a mundane level. This relates a lot to the ethnic conflicts, ethnic wars and disputes, arising in the world right now. But it can also show a trend towards vengeance or revenge.
Chiron is the deposit of any old slight, or old issue, and that can trigger an idea of payback. So revenge will come strongly as a theme in the world in late 2023 and early 2024. This can specially come through courts, lawsuits and judicial systems. Short term, fun. Long term, trouble. A lot of the actions made now, in pursuit of revenge, will only create further (probably bigger) problems later on.
Similarly, during this transit, we should be careful with our words. As people will be more sensitive, and prone towards getting hurt. A lot of arguments, discussions and even fights will tend to arise out of this emotional instability.
Predictions – Personal
In a way, this transit is a complemental force to the Nodal transit happening on the Pisces/Virgo axis, so I would recommend reading my predictions on it to better understand this.
Below we have predictions for all the 12 signs, please read in accordance to your Ascendant or Moon sign:
- Aries: The 12th house is all about letting go, release and loss. You are learning a lot about releasing things, rather than trying to hold on to them eternally. Similarly, your money expenditure could be changing. Your tendency to spend to impress others is getting a reality check.
- Taurus: The 11th house shows achievement, large groups and great gains. Many lessons about what is important to you, what is an actual achievement, are coming into play. Maybe you did something impressive to others, now what? Are you really happy? Your tendency to please and carry your friends could also come in check. Are your relationships worth your effort? This is a great time for reevaluating how much energy you put into things, and how much they matter.
- Gemini: The 10th house shows work, career and your relationship with the world. You might feel hurt or diminished in your career, maybe your role was reduced, or you were passed up for an opportunity. This can be a moment of rethinking your career, maybe finding a new path, considering new ways of doing things. Your fresh ideas can help you, even if others might not perceive the same as you.
- Cancer: The 9th house shows wisdom, spirituality and the relationship with our father. Your beliefs could be put to the test, or you could be doubting yourself right now. Going back to the root, and understanding why you believe, or were attracted to, a certain idea in the first place is important now. You could also be discovering new ideas and ways of seeing the world. Old wounds with your father can come up, and it is time to release yourself of them.
- Leo: The 8th house deals with transformation, change, sudden events and death. A big point of this transit can be the purpose of change. Who are you changing for? Yourself or others? You can be used to making changes to please others, or to follow a trend, or because your loved ones advised you to. And yet you don’t feel satisfied, the change never fixes anything. This is a moment of changing for yourself, making the changes you want and need, rather than what others think you should do. Physically, you could go through surgeries, procedures or health ailments at this moment. The 8th house is the higher octave of the 4th house, so it deals with deep emotions and deep wounds. Many issues of the past can arise now, old trauma, fears, identity issues, etc. You are releasing yourself of these deep wounds, learning to be freer and bolder.
- Virgo: The 7th house puts the other, your relationships, in focus. This could mean feelings of abandonment, usually stemming from the past, that you are projecting in your current relationships. Your constant need for validation, and external assurance, is a bottomless void that hurts you. You need to be secure about yourself, love yourself, before you can love others. In business relationships, this transit could make you mistrust people and scare them off with controlling trends. If someone will betray you, deal with it when it happens, don’t keep anticipating it and suffering beforehand — it might not even happen.
- Libra: The 6th house puts a focus on health issues. Obsessions, hypochondria and body-image issues could figure strongly now. This is a time to learn how to manage things, stay healthy and in shape, without making it an obsession. Healing old wounds, of fears and sickness in childhood, can go a long way into healing your psyche now.
- Scorpio: The 5th house puts a focus on creativity, expression and children. Getting over a fear of expressing yourself could figure strongly now. You could be used to second-guessing yourself, or fearing how others will react. This is a time to let go and learn to express yourself. Alternatively, this can be a moment of expressing yourself less. Maybe you use external expression, and outer approval, as a replacement for your inner turmoil. You please people, they laugh, they compliment you, yet you still feel empty. This is a time to fix that and focus on your inner world. If you have children, this is a time of learning to let them be, rather than wanting to control them and their lives.
- Sagittarius: The 4th house puts a strong focus on feelings, emotions and the relationship with your mother. Old wounds, feelings of abandonment or overall emotional issues from your past can come up strongly now. This is a strong time of learning how to feel secure about yourself, by yourself, rather than by external things. A trend towards consumerism, or using expensive things as a substitute for feeling well about yourself, should be reevaluated. If you feel bad inside, no Balenciaga tacky coat outside will fix it. Dealing with your feelings will though. Alternatively, this can be a moment of dealing with trauma related to your mother and your relationship with her, releasing yourself from old blockages and wounds created there.
- Capricorn: The 3rd house deals with expression, as well as siblings. So old wounds related to siblings might pop-up, and it is the time to outgrow them. A fear of expressing yourself, or a trend to get easily hurt, can figure now. Pay attention to speech or words that bother you, they are key to understanding old wounds and problems you have. The person on TV isn’t your bully, or your friend that left you, no matter how much they remind you of them. Deal with that old wound and release yourself from that blockage.
- Aquarius: The 2nd house deals with family, finances, self-esteem and sustenance. Lack of self-worth, over reliance on family, and a fragile ego are some of the issues that come up with this transit. Maybe controlling parents caused you to always second-guess yourself, maybe being different made you consider yourself weird or ugly. These issues are coming back strongly now, and it is time to rise above them. Maybe facing your fears, taking risks and relying on your own self-worth; rather than external validation.
- Pisces: The 1st house deals with, well, you. Your whole life comes into focus now, any of the 11 descriptions above could apply to you. This is a time where all your dissatisfactions, or your wounds, from life are popping up. Maybe a disease, or a health scare, can show up as a physical expression of this. With Pisces being a sign that usually gets what it wants, this could be a time of learning to let go. Be it with your wife, your mother, your father, your children, your friends, your sex-demon bondage mistress, it doesn’t matter the specifics. This is a time of letting go, learning that you can’t win everything, you can’t always have your way. Your way might not even be the best way, it might simply be an illusion. Let go, let people be. You might be stuck by trying to merge (and control) other people into your ways. It is time to release this idea of fixing everyone.
