Chiron in Libra, Chiron in the 2nd House

Chiron in Libra ♎︎ in the natal chart

Wound: The wound of an individual with Chiron in Libra in the natal chart is that of creating for oneself mental or emotional prisons. You may have a tendency to allow the outside world to dictate your role, the thoughts you should have, or the person you should be. This leads you to develop “cages” for yourself, placing unnecessary limitations on your dreams and desires. You have endless insight and intelligence that you may choose to keep bottled up for fear of judgement from others. At times you feel the urge to be a disruptor to the status quo but also are apprehensive to upsetting what is expected of you. 

Healing Gifts: You have incredible and objective insight. With Chiron in Libra you have the healing gift of counseling others in recognizing and realizing their potential and pitfalls. You have a very gentle approach to helping others get out of their own way. This placement tends to give you the strength to say very honest and truthful things without hurting the persons feelings. Your presence can be healing to others who need to feel hopeful that they have the free will to live the life they want; to be themselves within their relationships, careers, family, or social status.

The 2nd house in astrology is the area of life where we develop a relationship with our resources and belongings. In this area of the chart you are called to evaluate your attachments to the material world. In addition, the 2nd house is the place where you learn the value of self-worth, pleasure, satisfaction, and delight. Planets placed in this part of the chart will partially represent your capacity to generate wealth, resources, and income. Planets here need to experience life “hands on.” 

The 2nd house symbolizes your relationship with possessions and values. This can relate on a spiritual, physical, or emotional level. How you define yourself based on what your belongings are, your beliefs, the money you have, the relationships you are in, or anything else you can use as a physical definer of who you are can be experienced through the 2nd house. Deciding what you own or if your possessions “own” you is a core lesson of this area of the astrological chart.
