Chiron in Taurus: Healing the Body

Chiron deals with four things: the wound, the healing process, healers, and the gifts we’ve gained from having received a wound and/or done healing work. In the sign of the body, Taurus, this becomes a quite literal topic.

Chiron in Taurus marks a timeframe when physical healing becomes boosted. The topic of our bodies and where we may need some extra help is highlighted while opportunities for healing receive positive energy. There’s more though.

The Natural Way of Life

Chiron is all about healing, Taurus about the natural world. We already know that things like vitamins (esp. those found in real food), sunshine, fresh air, healthy movement, good relationships, and hanging out with animals you have good rapport with (unless you’re allergic) have a very profound effect on our bodies and can be very healing. When it comes to creating lasting health, it often takes a combination of those healthy lifestyle choices and appropriate treatment for underlying health issues (if ones are present) to really get the job done. But under Chiron in Taurus, anything you can do that supports your body naturally is even more amplified in potency – the natural things we can do for our health work even better than they usually would. (Note: this doesn't mean to throw other types of medical care out of the window! Please read with discernment.)

So, eating a balanced diet of vegetables, fruits, and all the other things our bodies crave will work a better than just substituting via popping vitamin pills (… obviously, if you’re actively working against a vitamin deficiency, your immune system is compromised, or you and your healthcare professionals decide differently, that’s a very different conversation – I’m not giving medical advice, folks!). Making a habit of a health-appropriate movement routine (like dancing or walking 20 min every day, or some exercises that are good for you, or – if this is for you, becoming GymBro 2.0) makes all the difference. Creating a good work-life balance improves your health massively as well.

We already know this stuff: it just works even better under Chiron in Taurus!

While allopathic medicine is and remains a powerful tool that we’re lucky to have access to, natural alternative medicine will gain both in popularity, scientific understanding/prestige, and temporarily, at least, in potency. This doesn’t mean alternative medicine is the one and only or even the right option in all medical circumstances: there are times when allopathic medicine is the only way, and times when a mix of allopathic and alternative medicine is the smartest way to go. But appropriately using alternative medicine, be it to strengthen a body already going through allopathic treatments, or as the sole treatment for a non-life-threatening health issue (provided that this is safe to do), is highlighted under Chiron in Taurus.

We’ll also see more of the side effects from allopathic medicine, other medicines that have been hyped or inappropriately represented as harmless, questionable supplements, food additives, agricultural methods, and any stuff pumped into our environment, and our overall lifestyles.

The general theme is this: everything that is all natural or all meant for the human body is going to work very well under Chiron in Taurus when it comes to your health (again: not giving medical advice here). Everything that is not natural (but working well and still appropriate to use, like methods in allopathic medicine) still works. Everything that is not natural and actually harmful will be revealed as such – side effects and all.

This is not medical advice – astrology can never and should never substitute appropriate medical treatments, diagnoses, and advice.

Coming Home to Our Bodies

Human beings have natural needs that come from us being in a body. And we’ve gotten pretty good as human beings at ignoring that or muting our body’s voice when it’s telling us what it truly needs.

Our body can tell us when something in our lives isn’t safe, healthy for us, and not going well – even beyond physical things such as food. There’s a reason why we ask each other “What’s your gut telling you about this?” when someone is making a big decision or contemplating a relationship. Our bodies hold wisdom – and instinct – that is guiding us particularly well during Chiron in Taurus. Actually, you can even say that Chiron in Taurus helps you learn more about your body’s wisdom and listen to that voice of physical sensation more.

But there’s something else here as well. As human beings, we have different bodies… and those bodies work in different ways.

Women in their fertile years have changes in their productivity level and overall emotional state throughout their cycle: needing more rest in the luteal phase (end of the cycle, pre-period) and on their period, being much more outgoing and productive in the follicular phase (beginning of cycle after the period) and during ovulation. If a woman can live accordingly and actually take more breaks at the end of her cycle and her period, the overall intensity of symptoms she experiences over the course of her period lessens over time. This is not medical advice (but it is an observation I have made on women across the board and across many different countries, health conditions, body types, and ages, and it is shared by many people in the medical field, especially in alternative medicine). If the woman in question can’t do that, she’ll at the very least (barring all symptoms that come up physiologically) get more exhausted over time, less happy, more overwhelmed, less resilient, and more at risk for feeling burnt out. Even after the fertile window is closed, women retain part of that cyclic productivity (just not in as high an intensity).

Men don’t have that much of a cyclical nature: they’re on the testosterone cycle, which regenerates pretty much whenever they get enough sleep – a.k.a., they can have 24-hour cycles of productivity, rather than however long an individual woman’s menstrual cycle is.

In the battle for women’s rights to work and self-realize in career spaces, women have forced each other and themselves to work on the clocks and routines that were meant for the 24-hour productivity cycle, not the physiological conditions that are best for them. And how could it be different – changing the world to make work more flexible is not an easy task, and changing the corporate world from linear, routine productivity to ca. 28-day cycles that are unique to each member is... pretty much impossible. But we pay the price with our bodies and our well-being.

So, men have it better, right?

Wrong. They just experience issues in different contexts. When the battle of women’s rights turned to co-education of all genders, the needs for young boys – both physically and learning needs – were ignored as “girls and boys are the same – so boys must be like girls.” ( - this is the unspoken pedagogical principle at the foundation of modern education). On a neurological and developmental level (which has a lot to do with our bodies), girls are much better and learn more easily within social contexts and creative tasks such as group projects or creating a pretty poster with the summary of what was learned already. Boys tend to do much better and learn more easily within competitive contexts and with logical and analytical approaches (individual differences between singular people of the same/different genders are always at play).

Generally speaking, boys need more movement, activity, and exercise, and have a much harder time being still in a classroom than girls, making the structure of the public school system contrary to their needs - and work against them when it comes to fostering the ability to focus on tasks in the same way girls do within those same environments. Boys also usually don’t see the reason behind many things girls seem to enjoy (like making a pretty poster), which impacts motivation and learning success as well as effort put into tasks, and they mature on a different timeline - which also impacts academic success of boys at large (though individual boys may still receive top grades, boys as a group are disadvantaged).

The structures in place to help boys thrive or at the very least, not die of boredom in class – often by providing an outlet for their energy – were replaced with other things that don't aid them as much. Teaching methods that helped them stay on track and provided fodder for their brains and problem-solving abilities were first mixed, then overshadowed with teaching methods that favor girls’ more social and creative learning styles within the public school systems in the West.

Whenever we have two groups of people with different skill sets and needs working together, there has to be a give and take, a win-some/lose-some, so all thrive. In our education in the West, the boys mostly lose: “Girls and boys are the same” turned to “Girls and boys are the same – so boys must be like girls – and if boys struggle to respond like girls would, they are defective, stupid, or badly behaved.” Obviously, there is such a thing as badly behaved boys – f.e. if they bully people etc. – but on a lower level of “disruptive behavior,” putting different structures into the educational system to help boys as they develop (in ways that girls don’t need assistance with) would go a long way to aid them and society at large.

There’s a reason why girls and young women outperform boys and men across the board in Western educational systems: they’re tailored to one learning style, not both. And this was not done to disadvantage boys, it was done to a) help girls, and b) out of well-meant ignorance. Most teachers and higher-ups in the educational system are women, and since the discrepancy between genders in teaching staff is so big, there’s just no awareness that boys have different needs than girls. They don't want to harm their students, they just don't realize what's going on.

All of this doesn't mean that boys can't succeed at all in the public school system, only that it's harder because the environment works against their learning needs because it's not aligned with brain-/body-based, diverging needs (which then affects grades and has wider implications). Similiarly, this is far from the only example of someone experiencing their environment working against their body - just as the example of women having a harder time (over time) in linear work culture isn't the only example of this happening to women and girls.

This is where Chiron in Taurus comes in: Truth be told, this event reveals the situations in which our lifestyle (and the structures we built that our lifestyle slots into, like educational structures we can’t control) is at odds with our biological needs. First, this is revealed, then there comes the opportunity for change and deeper healing.

On the topic of education, Uranus in Gemini (2025-2033) and then Chiron in Gemini (2033-2039) will specifically highlight these topics and provide the opportunity for changes.

To repeat a key point: what I mentioned above are just two examples of topics for the overall theme of seeing our biological needs unmet (and healing the results) in today’s world.

Other examples we may or may not run into are:

• seeing our individual needs due to f.e. past health issues that left scars

• seeing our body’s differing needs due to a neurodivergence and learning to work with that

• seeing our different needs because of f.e. hormone treatments we’re under and how that affects us

• exiting work and life-related habit keeping us stuck in a hamster wheel that creates harm to our bodies - and that we can opt out of

• etc.

The healing that comes through Chiron in Taurus helps us shape our lives to become something that’s far more sustainable for the future – and helps us heal the ill effects of living against our bodies, rather than living with our nature.

Weight and Body Image

A huge theme of Chiron in Taurus is the way our body looks… so let’s start by our inter-generational obsession with weight.

Chiron in Taurus highlights the physiological necessity of eating healthily, which both means eating healthy foods in healthy amounts, and EATING ENOUGH. Too little food is actually a huge issue. We’ll be seeing the effect that not eating enough has on our mental health and overall sense of peace, happiness, and energy levels, as consistently giving yourself too few nutrients puts your body under chronic stress, which has effects on it. Willpower won’t be enough anymore (that was Chiron in Aries (2018-2027)) to overcome this; we’ll need to feed ourselves in appropriate ways if we want to get somewhere. While this was true before, it’s unequivocally so, and unavoidably so, under Chiron in Taurus. Eating disorders wreak more havoc on your system than usual under this planetary alignment and will be highlighted much more as the results of unnatural diets and the long-term effects that they have on your body get illuminated more – and on a larger scale. Under Chiron in Taurus, the natural way of keeping your body healthy is more efficient than extreme dietary restrictions or other measures to get/keep up a slim figure.

If you’re trying to cheat yourself out of it just to “get slimmer/sexier/prettier…,” then know that long-term effects will be much more severe from what you’re doing now vs. what you were doing under the Chiron in Aries years.

When it comes to people on the other side of the pendulum of extremes, Chiron in Taurus doesn’t affect that as much. Only in medically necessary situations does weight loss receive a similar highlight or boon, though making a sustainable dietary change may lead to weight loss as a byproduct. Getting slimmer isn’t the focus of Chiron in Taurus; the focus is to learn how to give your body what it needs when it’s needed. If that leads to weight loss, which it can, then great (because you’re not likely to lose weight that’s necessary for you to maintain if you eat healthily).

Which leads me to the next point: body image.

Under Chiron in Taurus, the emotional and mental wounds around our looks and body image are up for a deep healing… but to heal something, we first have to know the wound is there. Which means that there’s going to be some pain involved.

On the plus side, this will be a time when appropriate and realistic depictions of the human body are going to be pushed into the mainstream again so that we can all heal with the individual insecurities we have around our bodies. 

How much worth we place on the way we look may also be subject to a change. This is a time of returning to natural beauty standards and reversing little changes you made to your overall look (like from dying your hair a different color to getting back to your natural color). This is a time when you can heal with what you truly look like and with your worth as a whole… especially the worth you hold beyond your body and your looks.

The Environment and Land

Chiron in Taurus affects another theme entirely that we have only peripherally: the environment, nature, and land. Chiron in Taurus is a time when we see the wounds in nature that we may wish to tend to a preserve. This has been an ongoing theme for a while now, but Chiron in Taurus really boosts the opportunities we get and efforts we can make to heal those very issues.

This is also a time when loss of land and loss of, f.e, viable land for growing food is going to become a theme. Gardening and building your own food source may become particularly healing for individuals and societies alike, as is holding livestock and having pets.

Any topic to do with nature – including things like natural catastrophe response – that are subject to Chiron in Taurus as well and may be highlighted and improved upon during this timeframe.
