Pluto’s discovery coincided with the discovery of the Atomic bomb, the rise of the totalitarian regimes, and the development of psychoanalysis.Īll these developments profoundly influenced our society – since 1781, When Uranus was discovered, our society has changed more dramatically than in thousands and thousands of years of evolution. This is also when entire cultures and religious systems were wiped out, in the Americas and Africa. Neptune’s discovery coincided with the Romantic and Industrial revolutions, the development of the steam engine, chemistry, and sail trades. Uranus’ discovery coincided with the independence wars, including the French and the American Revolution, and the Age of enlightenment. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were discovered before Chiron. If you look at the sky you will be able to see all planets up to Saturn… but not Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto, which are ‘invisible’ to the naked eye. As you may know by now, Chiron actually orbits between Saturn and Uranus, being the “link” between the two, between the world as we know it (represented by Saturn) and what’s beyond the known (Uranus, the first transpersonal planet). Īnd even if you are born before 1950 or after 1989, most people you interact with are part of the “Chiron opposite Uranus” generation so this influences you indirectly, also.Ĭhiron was opposite Uranus for an unusually long time and this explains why Chiron plays such an important role in our lives. This means that our generation is the “Chiron opposite Uranus” or the “Wounded Healer” generation. These unusually long transits are called ‘generational transits’ and affect whole generations. And that’s why these long transits occur so rarely – and that’s why these transits are the most significant transits in a given century. That’s why we can only have these long, generational aspects between Chiron (eccentric orbit) and Uranus, and Pluto (eccentric orbit) and Neptune. These long transits are only possible when we have a planet with an eccentric/elliptical orbit involved with the next planet with a similar orbit in length. In fact, in our lifetime we only experienced two such lengthy transits: one of them is Neptune sextile Pluto, and the other one, is, you guessed it, Chiron opposite Uranus. Transits involving slow-moving planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) that occur much less frequently, only last for up to a few years.īut a 40-year transit is exceptionally rare. Think about it: a normal transit (let’s say, Sun square Venus) lasts for a few days only. If you are born between 19 you have Chiron opposite Uranus in your chart!Ĭhiron opposite Uranus is an incredibly long transit. Did you know that everyone born between 19 (that’s 40 years) has Chiron opposite Uranus in their chart?
