If we begin with astrology as a symbolic language – that the symbols of the horoscope are dynamic, archetypal presences -- how do we follow an abstraction into the literal and manifest? In particular, what are the implications symbolized by Chiron, the medicine-making Centaur; and Uranus, the paradoxical figure of freedom and the attendant anxiety of separateness? What hurts us? What makes us well? How do we transmit our formulas for the benefit of others?

In this workshop, we will engage Chiron: part human part horse, part mortal part immortal, wounded, suffering, and transmitting his own process of healing from Apollo – the Sun itself, bringer of plagues and medicine – to Asklepios, to Hippocrates and thus to human beings.   We’ll meet Uranus, a relative newcomer in the astrological model, but by virtue of the nature and timing of his discovery, has come to symbolize revolution, the freedom that comes from being the outsider, and the alienation that can produce.

Looking at these two presences together, we’ll look at the current generation of Chiron/Uranus opposition in the charts of alternative (Uranus) practitioners (Chiron), and apply it in both personal and collective horoscopes.
