Positions
Chiron in Sagittarius
With Chiron in Sagittarius, the tender place is around belief, meaning, and faith in something larger. Often there was an early loss of faith, a betrayal by a teacher or religion, or a sense that the world held no real meaning for you, so the search for truth carries an ache. The wound stays sensitive, but facing it makes you able to help others rebuild a faith that can hold weight. The gift is that you know the cost of meaninglessness, so you take the search seriously. The work is keeping the question open rather than grabbing the first certainty. At your best you help others find something worth believing.
Lean in — Keep seeking meaning honestly rather than grabbing a quick certainty.
Watch for — Decide that because faith failed once, nothing means anything.
