Thanks Don,
The teaching aspect of Chiron, by 'being' or 'doing' does seem to hit my Chiron conjunct Sun. Chiron conjunct Mercury Rx, opp. Uranus Rx.
I was once told, with the interception in the 8th, that I'm here with two purposes. 1) to serve 2) to teach detachment (this one has me going rough!).
However, 'detachment' can be, annoying another so much, that the other has no recourse but to detach!, (but I'd like to think I have a little more in the feeling department.) And, it can be a vicious cycle, when ill-equipped with a Rx mindset, set in place when young, and one is caught in the throes of ...
But, nonetheless Press has that military thing in your story, where some of the most wounding occurs.
In retrospect and well, circumspect, this scenario of the biggest wound in my life, too played out in an aspect of violence and war.
When I was a kid, I became paralyzed in myself, and before a doctor put me on something, managed to get out of me, "Is it something you watched on tv? please tell me."
I broke, it was in the 60's and the very real and reel of "Children of War," followed by Capote's "In True Blood." It will take a lifetime to erase that imprint. But, I'm determined to become an 'undisturbed' adult and manage my fear, like Vivien Leigh did.
Saturn opp. Moon, the best way I can visualize this, in my chart, is when I had nightmares, I would as a toddler, come downstairs, tiptoe into my parents' bedroom, feel the tops of the head of which had less hair, and he allowed me to crawl in and stop my shaking. He was an Army man, always kept his firearm near, but a 'gentle giant.' How does a child know this?
Years ago, someone told me this Saturn-Moon aspect can teach a child the "bully syndrome?" However, I think my Jupiter in conjunction, has been a blessing, especially if all one has in synastry, is the same Jupiter.
Chiron, I think he has trouble helping himself, but can be most effective with understanding others. My introduction to Astrology was through the door of Chiron and the value I saw in it. thank you Mr. Roderick Benns! and you may not know, you too, had a hand in getting me to look at my whole self, as only you could.
Hope you've found your own way of relief, I see so much in my line of work. And, I gotta say, it may be God's way, for it is something, most times, one has to "work out himself."
My priest is currently in treatment, in seclusion, and just this morning, at an Ecumenical Breakfast, I saw the faces that are suffering his absence. I pray for him alot.
Thanks for the steering to the pioneering efforts of Press and Zane.
ps. I have difficulty showing my chart, because I even think it 'scares people' like a small football team facing the SF 49's. "Easy to Read, Hard to Beat." And, I know I'm on the long haul path to a major 'Lou hei...'
