☉ ☌ ⚷︎ Sun conjunct Chiron

Sun conjunct Chiron places your sense of self and life purpose directly against an old wound, so the two work as one: your identity is tangled up with how you were hurt and how you healed. This can make you a natural guide for others who are struggling, because your own growth has taught you something real. The same closeness can also make it hard to separate who you are from what you have survived.

A conjunction is an angle of 0° between two planets: the two planets merge and act as one, for better and worse. Here it links the Sun, about identity, vitality and life purpose, with Chiron, about the old wound and the wisdom that comes from healing it. We count it when the angle is within 6° of exact, a smaller orb because Chiron is a minor body; the closer it is, the stronger it feels.
