The moon is in Aries and it is on its way to join Chiron, the wounded healer, in a few hours: “One has to be wounded in order to become a healer. This is the local image of a universal mythological motif, which is described in Eliade's book about the initiation of medicine men and shamans. Nobody becomes either one or the other without first having been wounded, either cut open by the initiator and having certain magical stones inserted into his body, or a spear thrown at his neck, or some such thing. Generally, the experiences are ecstatic – stars or ghost-like demons – hit them or cut them open, but always they have to be pierced or cut apart before they become healers, for that is how they acquire the capacity for healing others.” —Marie-Louise von Franz, The Problem of the Puer Aeternus (Studies in Jungian Psychology by Jungian Analysts, 87) Art: Jonas Burgert #chironinaries #mooninaries #moonconjunctchiron #ecstaticastrology #deepsouthastrology #opaastrology #alabamastrology #alabamaastrology https://www.instagram.com/p/CUFz0ksroDO/?utm_medium=tumblr
