It’s not every day that asteroid Chiron pays a visit to our Venus, and for that, we can be grateful. Chiron, residing far out in our solar system, moves at a slow pace, taking years to form connections with planets or points in our natal chart. When it does, it forms a different astrological aspect. If you’re curious about how Chiron and Venus transits work, let’s dive in.
The Rawness of Chiron and Venus Contacts
Even the seemingly “easy” contacts, such as sextiles and trines, between Chiron and Venus can bring up deep emotional wounds related to our sense of attractiveness, self-worth, and value. These wounds often resurface through the lens of our relationships and how our perceived attractiveness is reflected back to us. We may find ourselves grappling with the ways in which we have commodified or objectified ourselves, shedding light on the vulnerabilities in our self-worth that made such wounds possible.
“Hard” contacts, such as conjunctions, squares, oppositions, and quincunxes, between Chiron and Venus can be particularly brutal. They trigger insecurities surrounding our attractiveness and our worth as human beings. We may seek validation from others to feel whole, only to attract painful and sometimes abusive relationship dynamics. Ultimately, these contacts force us to recognize that healing must come from within.
Venus, Femininity, and Self-Worth
As Venus rules over women, these transits can be especially heart-rending for the fairer sex, as they may bring to light deep-seated wounds regarding femininity. While these themes can resonate with people of all genders, it’s worth noting that men may experience this energy more intensely through the lens of financial issues. In society, self-worth for men is often tied to their income. Women tend to internalize Venus energy more, while men see it as a tangible resource. However, this is a broad observation, and exceptions exist. As our society evolves, and we move away from the gender binary, these gendered associations may become less prevalent.
Chiron’s Impact on Self-Worth and Material Matters
Regardless of gender, Chiron’s influence on Venus can affect our earnings and possessions, ultimately impacting our sense of self-worth. However, it’s important to remember that Chiron never leaves us without medicine. Despite the pain it may inflict, this cosmic Centaur prompts us to heal from within and address any weaknesses hindering our soul’s evolution. This process, though challenging, holds a poignant beauty. It reveals that we are more than just our external appearance, that the love we give to others must first be bestowed upon ourselves.
On this journey of self-discovery and healing, we slowly uncover our inner beauty and realize our true worth.
