Leading experts, celebrities, healers, and I share our journeys of how we've overcome challenges to living an empowered life from within. I'm your host, Jennifer Pilates. Welcome to another episode of Empowered Within. Welcome to another episode of Empowered Within. I'm your host, Jennifer Pilates, spiritual thought leader, intuitive, medium, and wellness expert. With over 25 years of experience supporting women just like you in healing from within and rising within your purpose. Today we're diving deep into a powerful astrological shift that quietly began, but its effects are rippling through the rest of this year. Chiron known as the wounded Healer just went retrograde. And if you've been feeling emotional, maybe triggered, or maybe you're cracked, open emotionally in unexpected ways, you're not alone. This episode isn't woo or fluff. It's a grounded exploration of why your old wounds are whispering louder right now, and how to use this time for deep lasting healing. Did you know that Chiron is not a planet? It's an asteroid with a unique orbit that bridges the gap between Saturn, which is all about structure, boundaries, and responsibilities. And Uranus who's all about awakening disruption and innovation. That position alone tells us something. Chiron is the bridge between the old and the new, between what broke us and what we came here to heal. Astrologically. Chiron represents our core wounds. The ones we don't always wanna talk about. The ones that don't fully go away, the ones sometimes honestly, we don't even wanna feel. But also the wound that when we choose to tend to those wounds, turn us into wise healers for others. Chiron went retrograde on July 26th, 2025, and will remain retrograde until December 29th, 2025, giving us about five months of inner excavation. Retrogrades are a turning point. Retrogrades are a time of turning inward. Unlike Mercury retrograde, which disrupts technology and communication, Chiron Retrograde invites us to sit with our pain, to sit with our triggers, our wounds, and reframe the stories we tell about them. Right now Chiron is an Aries, the sign of identity initiation, independence, and the Sacred Warrior. So what wounds are being stirred up? Wounds around being seen, wounds around not feeling safe to be ourselves, wounds around betrayal, abandonment, or being silenced when we dared to be bold. The collective right now is being asked to face the parts of us that say, I'm too much. I can't trust others to support me. If I fully show up, I'll be rejected. The pain may feel fresh, but really it's ancient. Some of this comes from childhood. Some can even be ancestral or past life wounds, core wounds, and some may be from moments you've already survived, but never fully integrated. This is a cosmic invitation to finally meet those parts of ourselves, not to fix them, not to hide them, but to offer them compassion, grace, clarity, and care. So I have a question for you. Is it true, is there a purpose in the pain? You see, Chiron teaches that we don't heal by pretending that we're fine. No, no, no. That's spiritual bypassing. We heal when we give ourselves permission to feel. So let's look at the pros. What are the positives of a Chiron retrograde? You get to reclaim a part of yourself that's been buried underneath pain. You get to soften the voice that says, I should be over this. By now. You get to become your own healer, and in doing so, become medicine and a healer for others. Are there cons? Are there negatives? Not exactly, but is there a little discomfort? Yes. This is not bypassing. This is not overnight healing. It's slow. It's raw, real, and honestly, that's where the power is. You might be wondering. Does this all impact Mother Earth herself in subtle but potent ways? It absolutely does. As the collective shadow rises the pain we've ignored, the disconnection we've tolerated. Mother Earth feels that Chiron retrograde often aligns with earth-based awakenings. Shifts in weather and natural rhythms, increased calls for grounding, embodiment, and returning to simplicity arise in collective grief, and a need to come back into right relationships with nature. So if you're feeling the urge to walk barefoot on the earth to cry more than usual, or to clean and clear your space, lean into those feelings, trust it. That's your nervous system sinking with the frequencies of healing. So you're probably saying, okay, Jennifer, so now what? Well, this isn't a time to sprint towards your next big thing. It's a time to breathe, to feel, and to reclaim the wisdom in your wounds, the wisdom in those core wounds that you've been holding onto. You might journal more, you might cry more. Crying is a huge, wonderful release for your body. You might pull back from people who don't honor your boundaries. You might finally sign up for that healing session that you've been putting off. You'll know what you need. All you have to do is give yourself space and permission to listen to what your body is asking for.
