Avoid During Transit Chiron Sextile Chiron
- Don’t ignore opportunities for emotional healing. This transit kind of opens doors for growth, and if you pretend nothing needs attention, you might miss out on real progress (Reinhart, Chiron and the Healing Journey).
- Don’t push aside memories or feelings that come up. Trying to avoid old wounds or suppressing stuff only makes it harder to move forward when the energy is so supportive right now (Clow, Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets).
- Don’t isolate yourself from supportive people or trusted friends. This is a good time to connect, and shutting people out could block some gentle healing you’re meant to receive (Stein, Essence and Application: A View from Chiron).
- Don’t get complacent and assume things will “just get better on their own.” The sextile is a chance to take real steps, not just hope for change without any effort (Reinhart).
- Don’t cling to old stories or identities about past pain. The sextile is a moment to rewrite your relationship to pain, not hold onto it as part of who you are (Clow).
- Don’t reject creative ways to understand or express your journey, like journaling, art, or talking things out with someone you trust. There’s a lot of gentle insight available, so don’t close off clear self-expression (Stein).
- Don’t judge yourself for needing healing, or compare your progress to others. The sextile is about finding your own path, and being self-critical can hold you back (Reinhart).
To Do During Transit Chiron Sextile Chiron
- Reflect on your past wounds and notice how much healing you’ve already done. This transit helps you see progress, not just pain. (Stein, Reinhart)
- Reach out for support or counseling if you feel called to, people are more likely to be helpful now, and you’re less likely to resist their help. (Reinhart, Clow)
- Experiment with different ways to heal, try out therapy, creative arts, journaling, or alternative medicine. New techniques can make a difference now. (Reinhart, Clow)
- Share your own healing journey and insights with others. Teaching or mentoring can be really powerful and healing for you both. (Stein, Clow)
- Forgive yourself and others for old hurts, big or small. This is a supportive time for letting go of grudges or regrets. (Reinhart)
- Pay attention to “aha moments” about your early wounding and how it’s shaped your life. You’re more likely to see these patterns clearly now. (Clow)
- Build or strengthen connections with anyone who acts as a healer, teacher, or guide in your life. These relationships can deepen now. (Stein, Clow)
- Cultivate self-acceptance. Work on embracing all parts of yourself, especially the parts you often hide or feel uncomfortable about. (Reinhart)
- Set intentions for what kind of healer (to yourself or others) you want to become going forward. This is an encouraging time for visions about the future. (Clow)
- Focus on cooperation, not competition, in your relationships. You’re more open to win-win solutions during this period. (Stein)
Experiencing Transit Chiron Sextile Chiron
When transit Chiron makes a sextile to your natal Chiron, you’re in a spot where healing and personal growth feel a little more natural than usual. This isn’t one of those dramatic times when you’re forced to face your deepest wounds head-on, but rather a period where you’re given subtle support from the universe to work through things with more ease. Think of it as finding a gentle hand that helps guide you through baggage you’ve collected over the years, especially around old pain, insecurity, or feeling like an outsider.
This transit often comes around ages 13-14, or again near 65-67, so it shows up during big life windows, like the awkwardness of adolescence, or later as you’re reflecting on the shape your life has taken. What’s cool is that this is a “soft” aspect; it gives opportunities for self-acceptance and learning by making connections between your past hurt and your current understanding.
Zane B. Stein (in “Essence and Application: A View from Chiron”) talks about the sextile as a time when insights may suddenly click and you start to realize how to handle those old wounds without falling apart. Melanie Reinhart (“Chiron and the Healing Journey”) points out, too, that Chiron’s sextile to itself can mark times when you realize that your vulnerabilities can become bridges to others, not just weaknesses you need to hide.
Barbara Hand Clow (“Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets”) describes this transit as a time for re-integrating split-off parts of yourself. That means stuff you’ve shoved away or ignored comes back up, but in a way that feels approachable, maybe even inspiring. It’s not about digging through pain, it’s more about acceptance and making space for all of who you are.
Challenges During Transit Chiron Sextile Chiron
- Feeling Uncertain about Next Steps: Even though this aspect is helpful, old insecurities might still try to trip you up. You may not always know exactly how to move forward, and sometimes the gentleness of the sextile means you just drift instead of taking real action.
- Overlooking Small Opportunities: Because the energy isn’t loud or intense, you could ignore subtle chances for growth. It’s easy to think, “I’ll deal with that later” or simply not notice the ways the universe is nudging you to heal or reach out.
- Restlessness or Mild Discomfort: The feeling of being “between” places, like you’re not wounded anymore, but not totally healed, can make you feel a bit off. You might not have a crisis, but you might still feel restless or like something is unfinished.
Opportunities During Transit Chiron Sextile Chiron
- New Connections with Kindred Spirits: This is a great time to find people who get you, either because your stories match or your pain resonates. You can form friendships or mentorships that help both you and others heal.
- Integrating Past Experiences: Stuff that used to hurt can be seen in a new light now. Maybe you’re able to accept parts of your story you used to run from, or maybe you realize your scars give you wisdom or compassion for others.
- Creative Self-Expression: Many people find artistic or spiritual outlets during this transit, letting them turn pain into something beautiful, comforting, or useful. Journaling, art, or volunteering can all feel especially satisfying now.
- Building Self-Acceptance: One of the best things about a Chiron sextile is that it can help you finally be okay with yourself, insecurities and all. You start to see that being “different” or having struggled isn’t a weakness, it’s what makes you real.
