As soon as Chiron entered Pisces on April 20, I noticed a trend. Astrology bloggers and their readers were waxing poetic. Posts or comments on Chiron in Pisces contained poems. As a poet, my brain shot into aha! pyrotechnics! Within a week, I gave birth to a new e-book,
Poems to Heal the Healer: The 12 Chiron Signs.
These dozen poems can read on screen or printed out individually and framed or put on your bulletin board to inspire you. They make great gifts, too. Framing the poem for your Chiron sign it is a nice way to keep your journey to wholeness in mind and in perspective. The other eleven poems make great gifts framed, too—or tools to better understand your partner, boss, kids, or that cranky neighbor. Each page contains a single, beautifully illustrated and poetic capsule of one of the Chiron signs. These are more than poems; each has an energy that poured through me in the creative and artistic process.
People can only heal themselves. A healer is someone who sets up an environment or energy that invites and supports the healing process.
Here’s an excerpt from
Chiron in Scorpio:
Dots on the skyscape
Tsunami tears frozen
too distant to twinkle
From this abyss of disconnection
Slowly
clusters of the lost
merge into galaxies
And a snippet from
Chiron in Gemini:
Painfully alone
My fragile mind
on the cusp of shattering
I long for a tribe
That speaks my language
Later
I stand up for those who can’t speak up
Or speak out

I am thrilled with this project, which combines my love of poetry and graphics while healing others and myself in the process. It was an honor to “channel” it. I’m still reverberating!
