February 19, 2024 North Node conjunct Chiron Located at 16° Aries. This is one of the most important transits of the year.
It’s always important when slow-moving archetypes like the outer planets, centaurs, or lunar nodes meet, because we don’t have these types of transits happen very often.
Chiron takes 50 years to orbit the Sun; Node 18 years. Chiron and the North Node last met in 2008. It was a very important year for all of us.
In order to understand how this conjunction will affect us, let’s first delve into the nature of Chiron and the North Node.
Chiron and North Node
Chiron It is our deepest wound and the gift that emerges when this wound is embraced and alchemized.
Chiron is one of the most popular astrology related searches on the internet; there is something about Chiron, there is something about the mysterious nature of the wounded healer archetype and the promise of healing.
this Nodes of the Moon is the abstract point where the paths of the sun and moon intersect, symbolizing the intersection of our past and future – our karmic journey.
The South Node has a more direct connection to our past karma; when we talk about karma in a resigned, “I can’t change this” fatalistic way, we are referring to the South Node.
this north nodeOn the other hand, it is an opportunity to change our karma and rewrite our destiny.
The Lunar Nodes are always present in family dynamics, highlighting patterns that are passed down through generations (as some say, across soul incarnations). If the South Node’s past karma needs to be released and transformed, the North Node is inviting new karma to come in.
The North Node still deals with our karma as it deals with the direction of our lives. But this is a direction in life we can change. As long as we’re alive – no matter how old we are – we can still change our lives. We can still realize our human potential.
Chiron Conjunct North Node in Aries – Why It’s Important
Astrology enthusiasts are equally fascinated by Chiron and the North Node—and for good reason.
Both archetypes speak to elements of our existence that feel elusive, fated, yet at the same time vital.
Chiron is said to be “Wounds that never heal”. The North Node is our “life goals”.
These are transformative archetypes that profoundly shape our understanding of ourselves and our path in life.
So when Chiron and the North Node meet, it’s a big deal because we have a unique opportunity to understand how our deepest wound – and the healing of that wound – aligns with the broader context of our life purpose. .
The reason we call the “Chiron Wound” the “deepest wound” is because it is difficult to understand. This is subtle. It transcends conscious memory. In most cases, it goes back generations, lingering just below the surface of our consciousness yet profoundly influencing our lives and actions.
We need a fresh, revolutionary perspective to break the deep wound of Chiron.
This is exactly what the North Node offers.
When the North Node meets Chiron, we have a unique opportunity to see this wound from a different perspective and rewrite our karmic patterns. This time we can actually break the cycle.
Existential Trauma and Chiron’s Dilemma
Chiron is said to be our deepest wound and our greatest gift.
Our deepest wounds, because they arise from the deepest recesses of our souls.
Our greatest gift—because healing a deep wound leaves a legacy that transcends personal pain and serves as a guiding light for generations to come.
Chiron Wounds – as we know from Chiron mythology as well as empirical observation – are primarily related to give up and refuse. Chiron was born a centaur, half horse. Disgusted by his appearance, his parents abandoned him.
But if we dig deeper, we can understand the real reasons for rejection.
His father Cronus (Saturn) transformed himself into a horse to seduce Philela (a young maiden).
So the result of the gene pool is Chiron; we inherit 50% of our genes from our father and 50% from our mother, and the same goes for Chiron, so we are born half horse and half human.
So Cronus and Philila did not reject Chiron because he was “ugly”—— They rejected him because he reminded them of themselves.
We might even say that they did not reject Chiron. They rejected themselves; more precisely, they refused to accept their genetic heritage as the living potential of their common essence.
When people are dissatisfied with themselves or where they are in life, they will unconsciously reject or find flaws in everything they create.
If this dissatisfaction is overcompensated, the newborn becomes a receptacle for the parents’ wishes. “I didn’t believe I had the ability to achieve my dreams, so I projected them onto you, my child, and asked you to achieve them in my place.”
Children become receptacles for their parents’ wishes, unfulfilled wishes, missed potential, and unresolved trauma.
Either because they view their child as a “mini-me” or because they want the best opportunities for their child, parents may unconsciously create situations that do not necessarily allow for the spontaneous expression of their child’s unique talents. and personality. . “I always wanted to be a musician, so I would take my kids to piano lessons”.
While passing on our heritage is a natural tendency, this path of guidance can inadvertently stifle a child’s self-discovery and authentic expression.
However, this “guiding framework” is valuable because it provides a foundation from which children can explore their interests and talents and provides a sense of direction and purpose.
It is this dynamic (collaboration, versus confrontation) with ancestral heritage that drives personal growth and self-actualization.
It is Chiron’s existential dilemma that triggers the quest for self-discovery. Chiron’s wounds are inseparable from our existence. It’s part of being human.
Sometimes we find ourselves feeling dissatisfied with our parents and society. “It’s all your fault for making me like this.”
But we forget that life is like that. We are living organisms. We have DNA, and DNA is designed to pass on not only biological characteristics but also emotional and psychological legacies.
There is a silver lining to intergenerational trauma. If our ancestors experienced a traumatic event and then had children, that means they survived; they “made it”—and passed that resilience and survival instinct on to us.
Being angry at our parents, our society, or God is the same as being angry at physics, biology, or nature.
This is not to absolve them of their wrongdoings, nor to “forgive” them without dealing with them appropriately. Chiron’s work is not about “letting go” – if “letting go” means ignoring, denying or covering up wounds and traumas that need to be acknowledged and healed.
“Chiron work” is working within the framework of our humanity – its beauty and limitations. By accepting and integrating the heritage of our ancestors, we transcend mere existence, find our wholeness, and ultimately reveal our unique gifts.

Look at your family history. Do you see repeated themes? Addicted? Relationship model?
