Brainstorm: Chiron / IC Astrology Aspects

A

broken home. Split at the core. Losing your center. Off balance. Teetering on the edge.  Broken inside. You don’t know how to feel good anymore. Every family relationship is in pain. There’s no place to call home. Nobody lives where they used live. No one lives at home anymore. There’s no place to turn for support. There’s no one to lean on. Something doesn’t feel right. Something is off. Something doesn’t sit right. There’s something wrong at the very core. Uncomfortable. The root of the problem. There’s a problem at the very base of the operation. Wounded inner sense of safety and security. Afraid to turn off the lights at night. Still using a nightlight at age 35. Still having trouble waking up on time for important things out in the world. Fundamental wounding to your ability to be an independent adult in the world.

I think everyone understands grief, the journey it takes us on, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a disappointment. Some people don’t deal with it, the power of it. Some do. Some feel the weight of it and it informs their choices. I’ve had to open up to grief in different contexts.
Tori Amos

Family dependency issues. Does your family approve of you? If you lack support from your family, you might never fulfill your potential. You might stay home crying everyday wondering how it ever got so bad. So deeply sensitive. Such a longing to hide at home, forever. The more time you spend at home, the more reclusive you get. If only you could stay in bed all day. Maybe you never had a real home. Maybe you never had a “real” family. Maybe you were raised by someone other than your parents. Your mother might have been unfit to care for you. Your dad, maybe he couldn’t bring himself to care at all. Put in foster care. Shuffled around? Shuffled from one parent to the other? Home for the holidays? Where?

You are on a quest to put down roots somewhere you feel safe and secure. You’re on a quest to feel comfortable with who you are at a deeply fundamental level. You want to feel that you are where you belong. You want to feel that you are with the people you belong with. You are a guide in showing people how to express painful emotions about family and heritage and what matters most, even when it gets uncomfortable. Your family isn’t comfortable with your level of sensitivity and one wrong comment can knock your world off balance.

You’re too sensitive.  You want to hide, and sometimes you do. If people see how vulnerable you are, will they poke a stick in the wound? It’s hard to operate out in the world feeling like this. If only you could find a way to work from home, or with your family, or with people you feel safe around. How can anything grow in this ground? How can you grow and nurture yourself when you’re recovering from one hurt after another?

Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things.
― Zooey Deschanel

You’re healing something that is deeply broken within you, your family, or your heritage. You feel that it can be fixed, and you seek solutions. You’re a mentor to others in your family. This is what it means to be part of this family! This is who we are! This is our heritage! These are our customs! There is no worse feeling than not belonging with the people who are your people. The pain is just excruciating. Unless you heal the hurt, it can be painful for you to start your own family. Having your own family brings up all the old issues you’ve always had to deal with. Feeling your lineage. Feeling the weight of your inherited familial baggage. You can be the maverick who puts an end to bad family habits, poor behavior and unhealthy choices. You can help your family heal. You may be a family counselor. Maybe you are the one everyone goes to for advice on how to get along with everyone else in the family. You create a bridge between your family members. You create a bridge between the people who are like you and who come from where you come from.

Healing comes from having your own home, a place where you make the rules and where you feel safe. Healing comes from learning how to feel safe inside and how to protect yourself. Healing comes from carving out your personal, private space that no one can infiltrate or debase. Healing comes from starting your own family, whether that family includes kids, dogs, birds, or plants. The key to healing could be to become a parent. The key to healing could be getting that DNA test after all. The key to healing could be traveling to your place of origin, no matter how far removed you are now. Your quest beckons you home. Your quest begins at home.

Sensitivity is the loophole you slip through. Your sensitivity can make you or break you. Denying your sensitivity can leave you broken forever. You’re a guide to others who are lost and looking for home. You long to feel your whole, complete self. The journey to your roots puts your fragmented heart back together. You are learning where you truly belong, where you feel you belong. You long to feel included. You long to feel like one of the family. You can create a bridge between the past and present of who you were, who you are and who you are becoming.

Chiron / IC Aspects

1st harmonic, 1/1. This aspect comes from taking the 360 degrees of a circle and dividing by 1, then multiplying by 1. Like this, 360 / 1 = 360 x 1 = 360.

Intensity and emphasis; focus/focal point; impact. Lack of awareness. Concentration of energy. Fusion. Fusing disparate energies together.

1/20 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 20, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 20 = 18 x 1 = 18.

1/12 harmonic. Take the 360 degrees of a circle, and divide by 12, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 12 = 30 x 1 = 30 . Or, 360 / 6 = 60 / 2 = 30 (half a sextile).

The natural next step; the next thing that needs to be done; how one thing naturally leads to another; what you should be preparing for next; where things are heading, whether you want them to go there or not. What all your hard work and preparation are for. The next big thing. Natural direction.

What you might be blind to. Something just over your shoulder, out of sight, and beyond the periphery of your vision. A blindspot. The thing that came immediately before, and is already nearly forgotten. Efforts at memory. Reclaiming. People who don’t have your best interests at heart. Better work on some yoga moves to look over your shoulder, and behind your back.

1/10 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 10, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 10 = 36 x 1 = 36.

1/9 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 9, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 9 = 40 x 1 = 40.

1/8 harmonic. Take the 360 degrees of a circle and divide by 8, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 8 = 45 x 1 = 45. Or, take a square, and split it in half. Like this, 360 / 4 = 90 / 2 = 45.

1/8 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 8, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 8 = 45° x 1 = 45°. This aspect is the same as the semi-square.

Some of the posts may show the octile at 90°. This is a known error and I’m working on fixing it, but I have to edit each post individually, and that takes more time than I have right now!

1/7 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 7 = 51.26° x 1 = 51.26°.

Opportunities for positive change; awareness of a time to take positive advantage; opportunities that pass unnoticed without conscious effort. No, there may not be another chance. Learning to be quicker to act on good luck. Learning not to let good things pass you by. Learning that positive experiences require effort too. Positive doesn’t mean passive.

This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 10, then multiplying by 2. Like this, 360 / 10 = 36 x 2 = 72. This aspect is the same as a quintile.

Creativity, talents, quirks, special skills.

Dynamic creative tension; inner stress and tension that build until you are forced to find creative solutions. Opportunities to push your limits to greater achievement; inner restlessness and lack of satisfaction that impel you to make changes and push yourself; you are challenged to combine these energies; applying energy to solve a problem; creative problem-solving. Internal stress and tension. Something needs to give.

2/7 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 2. Like this, 360 / 7 = 51.26° x 2 = 102° 51’26”.

This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 10, then multiply by 3. Like this, 360 / 10 = 36 x 3 = 108.

Same as the trine.

1/3 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 3, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 3 = 120 x 1 = 120.

Flow. Ease. Status quo. Circumstances and characteristics that are not changing. Things that are stable; maintaining the status quo; peace and tranquility; idleness; good times; use these gifts to your advantage. Negatively, unimpeded flow. Events that cannot be stopped. Unstoppable, sweeping movement. Lack of self-discipline. Laziness and self-indulgence. Times that are easy, lacking challenge and opportunities for growth. Taking situations for granted. Keeping everything like it is. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

5/8 harmonic. Take the 360 degrees of a circle and divide by 8, then multiply by 5. Like this, 360 / 8 = 45 x 5 = 135.

Blockages. Physical manifestation of problems and accidents. Inner psychological blockages that manifest as outer events.

2/5 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 5, then multiply by 2. Like this, 360 / 5 = 72 x 2 = 144.

5/12 harmonic. Take the 360 degrees of a circle and divide by 12, then multiply by 5. Like this, 360 / 12 = 30 x 5 = 150.

Adjusting expectations; tempering over-enthusiasm and over-reaching; keeping yourself in check; adjusting to meet changing circumstances; doing what you need to do to make things work. Adjusting your attitude. Adjusting your perspective. Making-do in uncomfortable situations. Developing flexibility and adaptability. Bending, until you almost break. A see-saw, with too much weight on one side, and not enough on the other side.

The term “inconjunct” is often conflated with the word “quincunx” in astrology. All quincunxes are inconjuncts but not all inconjuncts are quincunxes. Some inconjuncts are semi-sextiles.

Excerpt from the book Horoscope Symbols by Robert Hand

3/7 harmonic This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 3. Like this, 360 / 7 = 51.26° x 3 = 154° 17’ 08”.

4/9 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 9, then multiply by 4. Like this, 360 / 9 = 40 x 4 = 160.

11/24 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle into 15-degree equal segments. Like this, 360 / 24 = 15, then multiply by 11.  Like this, 360 / 24 = 15 x 11 = 165.

This aspect does not make sense to me at the moment, but here’s the link.

I would think a quin-decile would take the 360 degrees of a circle, divide by 10, then multiply by 5. Like this 360 / 10 = 36 x 5 = 180. Which is exactly the same as an opposition, because it is a 5/10 harmonic, which reduces to 1/2 harmonic. 360 / 2 = 180 x 1 = 180.

2nd harmonic, 1/2. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 2, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 2 = 180 x 1 = 180.

Challenges from outside; awareness of other options; opportunities that require you to stretch outside your known boundaries; an opportunity to stand back and reflect; seeing yourself from a distance; putting yourself in someone else’s shoes; seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes. Gaining awareness. Seeing a situation from a new vantage point. Getting distance, and gaining perspective.

This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 4.

This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 5.

This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 6.
