Chiron in Libra, Chiron in the 5th 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 5th house in astrology is symbolic of creativity, sexuality, and children. The reason all of these themes come together in the 5th house is due to the fact that they all of them are related to making or creating something outside of oneself. Creativity brings forth something new and imaginative. Your relationship to sexuality or how you express your sexuality can be a creative act or viewed as the reproductive act that creates babies. 

Having an emphasis of planets or lack of planets in the 5th house speaks more to what you make and create in life and less literally to how many children you will or will not have. When you are playing in the 5th house it is all about finding your creative spark, what enlivens you, and how you can bring your true identity forward. 

The focus of the 5th house is what unique experience do you want to share with others, what makes you special. The 5th house is also associated with affairs, flings, and romance due to the playful and often spontaneous nature of this area of the chart.
