The arc of the healing
journey, represented by Chiron in your astrology chart, involves dealing with pain
or disowned parts of yourself. From there, as much as possible, you work to
overcome the pain or to locate and plug back into your being your disconnected parts. Finally, you give back to others what you’ve learned in the process.
The latter often expresses itself as your vocation or calling.
Here are some quotes to inspire
you along the way.
Managing Pain
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is
his twin brother. ~Khalil Gibran
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy
will burn out the pain. ~ Joseph

There is a thin line that separates laughter and
pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt. ~ Erma Bombeck
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the
physician within you heals your sick self. ~ Khalil Gibran
There is no coming to consciousness without pain. ~ Carl Jung
Overcoming

to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune. ~ William James
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full
of overcoming. ~ Helen Keller
