Avoid During Transit Chiron Conjunct Sun

• Don’t ignore your feelings of vulnerability or pain, pretending everything’s fine will just make things build up inside.
• Try not to push yourself too hard to prove your worth; you might feel extra sensitive about your identity, and overcompensating can backfire (Chiron and the Healing Journey by Melanie Reinhart).
• Avoid running from emotional wounds or old hurts that come up, this transit is all about facing things, not avoiding them (Essence and Application: A View from Chiron by Zane B Stein).
• Don’t isolate yourself; reaching out for support or help is important, even if your ego takes a hit (Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets by Barbara Hand Clow).
• Steer clear of people who criticize or try to undermine your sense of self, you’re already dealing with deep stuff about who you are.
• Don’t take on leadership roles or spotlight positions just for external validation; your confidence might feel shaky and this could make you more stressed (CHIRON AND THE HEALING JOURNEY).
• Try not to judge yourself harshly for feeling insecure or wounded, self-compassion is key during this time (Essence and Application: A View from Chiron).
• Don’t suppress creativity or self-expression out of fear of criticism, this is actually a time to explore your true self, even if it feels raw or awkward (Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets).

To Do During Transit Chiron Conjunct Sun

• Reflect on old wounds around your identity or self-worth. This transit is a powerful time to dig into memories or experiences where you felt unrecognized or not good enough (see Reinhart, Chiron and the Healing Journey).
• Begin some kind of therapy, counseling, or deep personal work. Chiron conjunct the Sun makes it easier to get to the heart of who you are and heal major personal pain (Clow, Rainbow Bridge).
• Start creative projects that express your true self, even if you feel vulnerable. Art, music, writing, or another creative outlet can help process what’s coming up (Clow; Stein).
• Practice self-acceptance. Set aside time to be gentle and kind to yourself, especially when old insecurities rise up (Stein, Essence and Application).
• Reach out to someone you trust for support. It’s a good time to connect with a mentor, guide, or wise friend, since Chiron’s energy often works best when shared (Reinhart).
• Notice physical health patterns, since emotional wounds can show up in the body under this transit. Pay attention and give yourself extra self-care (Clow).
• Explore new spiritual or healing modalities, like meditation, energy work, or journaling, or deepen practices you already have (Reinhart).
• Consider how your gifts and wounds are connected. Think about how your struggles have shaped your skills, personality, or sense of purpose (Stein).
• Be open with others about your vulnerabilities, sometimes sharing your story is the key to healing yourself and possibly helping others too (Clow; Reinhart).
• Set intentions for who you want to become, not who you “should” be. Chiron conjunct the Sun is about reclaiming the real you, even if it means going in a new direction (Stein).

Experiencing Transit Chiron Conjunct Sun

When Chiron transits over your natal Sun, you’re in for a deeply personal journey, one that hits right at the core of who you are. The Sun in your birth chart is all about your identity, your sense of self, your confidence, and how you shine in the world. Chiron, sometimes called the “Wounded Healer,” moves in and brings old wounds, insecurities, and unresolved pain up to the surface, especially those connected to your self-worth, ego, and life purpose.

You might feel extra sensitive about being noticed, accepted, or appreciated. It’s common to question yourself a lot more than usual, wondering if you’re really “good enough,” or if you have the right to express yourself the way you want. Stuff from your past, like childhood messages about who you should be, or old hurts where you didn’t feel seen, could pop up and feel surprisingly raw.

People sometimes experience setbacks that humble them, like a blow to their pride or confidence, or situations where they feel exposed or even rejected. But at the same time, this transit has a healing potential. If you face these wounds rather than run from them, there’s a strong chance you’ll come out with a wiser, more authentic sense of self. This experience is like a rite of passage, where you step deeper into who you really are, flaws, scars, and all.

Challenges During Transit Chiron Conjunct Sun

• Feeling Exposed: You might feel your weaknesses or insecurities are on full display. For example, maybe someone points out a flaw, or you just can’t seem to hide your self-doubt.
• Ego Wounds: It can be tough when things or people knock your confidence. Situations that bruise your ego, like not getting the recognition you hoped for at work or being overlooked by someone important, can sting more than usual.
• Identity Crisis: You could find yourself questioning who you are, what you stand for, or what direction you really want to take. When Chiron touches your Sun, it’s super common to feel a bit lost, or like you’re not living up to your own expectations.
• Painful Memories: Old hurts, especially ones from childhood or from key people like parents or authority figures, often come back up. It’s like unfinished business is asking for your attention.

Opportunities During Transit Chiron Conjunct Sun

• Deep Healing of Self-Worth: This is a chance to really look at the wounds behind your self-esteem issues. By understanding and accepting your flaws, you can come to love yourself in a more real and compassionate way, just as Zane B Stein says, it’s about embracing your “imperfect wholeness.”
• Authenticity: You can drop the mask and stop trying to be who others want you to be. This transit gives you permission to be more real, even if that feels vulnerable or shaky at first.
• Helping Others: Sometimes, difficult experiences you go through now teach you empathy and understanding, which can make you a better friend, mentor, or support for others dealing with similar wounds.
• Renewed Sense of Purpose: Once you’ve faced and worked through some of your core wounds, there’s often a new clarity about what you want to do with your life. Melanie Reinhart notes that this can reveal a truer purpose or mission in life, led by your heart and not just your ego.
