Welcome…
…to Unit 6 of the Introduction to Astrological Interpretation course. I hope you’ve
enjoyed exploring your nodal axis in Unit 5 and have gained a greater grasp of your
developmental direction as a result. In this unit we’ll be moving into the realm of the
outer planets and exploring their influence in our charts and lives. In the introduction
to Unit 4 I mentioned the inner planets: Mercury, Venus and Mars, and the fact that
they provide the tools and traits that we use in our everyday lives to manage
ourselves and interact with the world around us. I also mentioned that Jupiter, whilst
acting somewhat like an inner planet, is actually the first of the outer planets and acts
as something of an ambassador between the two!
Which begs the question: What are the Outer Planets?
Physically speaking, they are the
planets which orbit the other side
of the asteroid belt to Earth (see
fig. 1) and the inner planets. The
asteroid belt lies roughly between
the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and
is known to contain over a million
asteroids, the four largest being
Ceres, Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea.
The outer planets comprise (in
addition to Jupiter mentioned
above), Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto. We also find Chiron in
the region of the outer planets,
between the orbits of Saturn and
Uranus, although it is not always
deemed an outer planet as such.
Fig 1
Due to their distance from Earth, the outer planets move through the zodiac far
slower than the inner planets. For example, Uranus takes about 84 years to
complete one such journey, Neptune about 165 years and Pluto over 200 years.
That’s a bit different to the Sun’s 1 year and even Jupiter’s 12 years! Because of this
slow movement the outer planets remain in each zodiac sign for far longer, reflecting

generational shifts of energy and expression. For example, almost everyone born
between February 2012 and March 2025 will have Neptune in its own sign of Pisces,
indicating a particular trend within that generation. Because of this the zodiac sign
placement of an outer planet in a natal chart has less relevance for personal
interpretation than its house position, which is personal to the individual because it’s
dictated by their time and place of birth rather than just the date. Furthermore, the
influence of an outer planet will be more forcefully felt within the individual if it is in
aspect to an inner planet, especially the Sun or Moon. Otherwise its influence within
may be less obvious or even completely outside of consciousness.
However, and it’s a big however, in recent years and particularly since the 1960’s
when the two outer planets, Uranus and Pluto, formed a conjunction heralding the
beginning a new developmental cycle, the impact of the outer planets upon personal
consciousness has become increasingly evident and more profoundly felt.
Individuals are waking up to the impact of these energies within themselves, their
lives, their psyche and spirit. As a result we are all feeling their effects more
immediately and with greater impact in our everyday lives. Whilst the outer planets
still set out collective trends and generational patterns, they speak far more clearly
now of our own personal process of internal change and development, acting as
both facilitators and way-showers on the paths of personal and spiritual
development.
We have already encountered Saturn in Unit 2, in its role as an ego planet and
significator of the mother principle in the chart. In this unit we will be meeting Chiron
and Uranus and looking at Saturn’s relationship to them. But before we meet these
new players in our birth charts, we need to consider the discovery of new planets
and asteroids and the astrological significance of such an occurrence.

Our Ever-Expanding Universe…
We live in an ever-expanding universe,
not only in terms of its physicality but also
in terms of the information we can know
about it. As scientific knowledge and
application grows, the sensitivity of
astronomical
equipment
becomes
increasingly honed and our ability to
explore the furthest reaches of space
increases, we discover more about the
physical bodies inhabiting our universe.
As a result we discover ‘new’ planets and
asteroids of which we were previously
unaware. Fig. 2 lists the discovery dates
of the outer planets. As you can see,
astronomical and therefore astrological
knowledge has been increasing at a pace
in recent years!
Discovery Dates of Outer Planets:

Uranus: 13th March 1781

Neptune: 23rd September 1846

Pluto: 18th February 1930

Chiron: 10th November 1977
Fig 2
A criticism sometimes made of astrology is that the discovery of new planets renders
its previous interpretations meaningless. Well… no one said astrology was perfect
and complete as a system of understanding! It is growing and changing like any
branch of the arts or science. But the discovery of new planetary bodies is one of the
things that keep astrology alive and relevant, for as each one is discovered we
discover alongside it an aspect of ourselves, of human life and development, of the
intrinsic nature of the universe, with which we were not previously acquainted. Each
new planet discovered reveals to us the next level of burgeoning human
development. It doesn’t detract from our previous knowledge but adds to it. Those
people born prior to their discovery but alive at the time of it are specifically tasked
with bringing that element of the psyche and spirit into consciousness for the benefit
of the collective.
The discovery of new planets and asteroids inevitably coincides with events which
reflect the essential nature of those planets. For example, Pluto, the planet of
profound destruction and even more profound rebirth and regeneration, was
discovered in 1930. In 1934 the very first experiments with nuclear fission began and
in 1945 the first nuclear bombs were dropped on Japan, just fifteen years after the
discovery of the planet Pluto. In 1977 Chiron was discovered. Connected to the
Page 4
‘wounded healer’ archetype, it is linked with the rise of alternative medicine and the
healing arts.
Thus, through exploring the events and trends associated with the discovery of new
planets, and embracing the more intuitive aspects of their appearance such as the
names given them upon discovery, we encounter an essential universal tool used to
guide us in our development and awakening to the fullness of both our humanity and
our spirituality. So let’s meet one of the ‘new comers’ and see what it has to say…
⚷ Introducing Chiron the ‘Wounded Healer’ ⚷
There is some debate about the astronomical nature of Chiron. Some call it an
asteroid, some a planetoid, some a planet. It is often listed together with other
asteroids when discussed in astrological terms. To be frank, astrologically it makes
little difference what we call it and these debates can become something of a red
herring. Just as when Pluto was ‘down-graded’ to a dwarf-planet by the International
Astronomical Union in 2006, the astrological influence of an object in space has no
bearing upon the category label given it by humans! So whatever Chiron is, we know
one thing for sure: it plays a very influential role in a birth chart!
Chiron was discovered in Taurus on 1st
November 1977 by the astronomer Charles T.
Kowal in Pasadena California. Interestingly,
several astrologers had previously predicted the
discovery of a new heavenly body around that
time. It has an erratic orbit due to the influence of
its neighbouring planets Saturn and Uranus.
When at the closest point of its orbit to the Sun
(known as perihelion) it lies between Jupiter and
Saturn. Otherwise it predominantly orbits
between Saturn and Uranus. Chiron takes
between 49 and 51 years to travel around the
zodiac and due to its elliptical orbit it spends more
time in some signs than others. Fig 3. shows the
average amount of time it spends in each zodiac
sign. As you can see it spends the longest period

of time in Aries and the least amount of time in Libra, the opposite sign to Aries.
Obviously the length of time it spends in a sign dictates the number of people born
with Chiron in that sign.
As mentioned previously, Chiron corresponds to the ‘wounded healer’ archetype and
is connected to the rise and expansion of alternative medicine and the healing arts at
the end of the 20th century. Interestingly, the Sabian Symbol1 for the 4th degree of
Taurus in which it was found is ‘the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow’. That’s
certainly how Chiron feels to me! It is a treasure trove of wisdom, healing and
renewal in a chart and provides for profound transformation through the experience
of isolation and the healing of pain.
In a natal chart Chiron points to where we are most wounded. It reveals our ‘achilles
heel’, so to speak, which forever rises up to remind us just how flawed and imperfect
we really are! Chiron is a cosmic defence against feelings of imperviousness and
indestructibility. It reminds us where we are vulnerable and unsure, in pain or
weakened in some way. As such, Chiron reminds us of our humanity, no matter how
much we may seek to embrace the spirituality of human life. It keeps us humble,
whilst also helping us recognise where we most need to heal in order to fulfil our
potential.
Chiron reveals spiritual, psychological and physical wounds. It may point to a lack of
faith, an emotional complex that we struggle to overcome or a physical disability with
which we must learn to live with grace and humility. Chiron points to where we may
suffer in silence ourselves whilst being able to support and assist others with their
own similar pain. On our Chironic path we frequently encounter an ability to give to
others what we cannot conjure up for ourselves. This state of affairs leaves us both
satisfied and bemused in equal measure. ‘At least our own pain has meaning’, we
think, ‘if we can use it to understand and support other people… and yet… why oh
why can’t we do for ourselves what we seem to do for them?!’. The wounds of
Chiron are not only in the realm of the emotional or spiritual life. They may manifest
in the form of an inability to get to grips with finances, a lack of ambition, learning
difficulties. And in all of these things we may find we can fill a lack in others which we
cannot fill in ourselves. For example, we may struggle to manage the mounting debt
in our life whilst managing budgets at work to the penny. Or we may be a frustrated

medium working with the astrologer Marc Edmund Jones. They can be used to add intuitive depth and
meaning to astrological interpretation.

writer who can’t get their thoughts down on paper whilst motivating a friend to
complete a manuscript and find a publisher.
This ‘wounded healer’ theme of Chiron often leaves us feeling isolated and
misunderstood. We may be seen as a great source of support in a particular area of
life, so no one realises just how much pain we encounter in our own existence.
Whilst the healing quality of Chiron brings us into contact with others in order to
share it with them, our own Chironic healing may be done in solitude, without anyone
else even realising what we’re going through. The challenge of Chiron is to go within
and discover our own inner wisdom which can guide us towards our own healing. As
such, we come out of this process fortified and resilient in a way not previously
experienced. Healing the wound of Chiron may indeed challenge us to dig deep and
go it alone, but in doing so it strengthens us like nothing else and enables us to
rebuild in an area of life previously depleted and lacking positive energy and
coherence.
Chiron also corresponds in some ways to the teacher archetype, revealing
knowledge and wisdom needed to make ourselves whole, and in its isolating
influence we meet the maverick within us, who stands apart from the group in our
own constellation of emotions and experiences, unable to find the place where we
can take our own pain to be healed, eventually recognising that we must heal it
ourselves.
There is some debate about which, if any, zodiac sign Chiron rules. The two main
contenders are Virgo (reflecting the healing aspect) and Sagittarius (reflecting the
teaching and maverick aspect). I have found rulership of Virgo to be very apt for
Chiron and always work with this rulership now, where it supersedes Mercury, the
traditional ruler of Virgo. However, as always I would encourage an open mind on
this matter. You may discover something about the expression and resonance of
Chiron that causes you to assign it different rulership or none at all. When we are
working with relatively ‘new’ (to us) planets, we are all learning as we go and there
are no experts as such!

♅Uranus, the planet of radical disruption & awakening♅
The second new planet we meet in this unit is Uranus. Its discovery in 1781
coincided with the American War of Independence (1775 -1783) and just preceded
the French Revolution (1789-1799). Both of these historical events carry the
hallmark of Uranian energy: disruptive, challenging the status quo, establishing a
new order, creating new freedoms. Uranus rules the zodiac sign Aquarius and
typifies some of the key qualities associated with the sign of the water-bearer:
iconoclastic, forward-thinking and innovative.
Uranus in a birth chart reveals how we disrupt the world around us. Where we
challenge the status quo, do things differently and make our own unique mark upon
the world. It also shows where we require freedom and resist any kind of limitation or
restriction. Where we can see a different way of doing things and want to pursue that
way no matter the cost. Uranus challenges us to total freedom by removing all
reasons for restriction and suppression. However, life, and society, being what they
are, pursuing our Uranian urges can get us into trouble if we don’t do so with respect
for the differences of others and an awareness of the impact upon other people of
the ‘new order’ which we seek to establish in our own lives.
Uranus is the great awakener. Where it lies in our birth chart is where we need to
undergo a radical awakening to a new level of consciousness and order of material
and spiritual life. It we fail to do this, resisting the desire to see and do things
differently, to release old ways of being in order to embrace a more authentic and
free expression of the life-force, we will suffer external disruption to trigger the
neglected inner awakening. For example, with Uranus in the 10th house of career we
may suddenly find ourselves unceremoniously thrown out of the position we’ve
worked so hard to secure if we have resisted the urge to change our career path and
embrace a more risky but infinitely more satisfying opportunity presented to us.
Uranus doesn’t listen to excuses like ‘I’ve got a family to feed and my pension to
think of… and what will my parents think?’! It merely sees where we need to be
woken up and liberated from bonds which restrict and tie us down and then comes
along and smashes those bonds to smithereens.
Page 8
When we encounter this action of Uranus it can feel very fated, like there was
nothing we could have done to prevent the tragedy that has befallen us, and yet,
when we look back with an open and honest heart, we can begin to recognise where
we had ignored the call of Uranus to get out and move on, change and not look
back. We can begin to spot where and how we forced Uranus into a corner leaving it
little choice but to take the radical path with us to get us to wake up.
Of course, some people are more comfortable with Uranus than others. If we have
planets in Aquarius, the sign ruled by the great awakener, we are more likely to have
a greater affinity with its action and energy and less need to experience it coming at
us from the outside in order to make its mark. Likewise, if we have aspects to our
Uranus which facilitate its action (perhaps a healthy mix of a couple of sextiles, a
square and a quincunx) we are more likely to be able to live positively with it and
respond to it constructively. But all that said, if Uranus wants to dislodge something
so deep in us that we can’t even begin to understand what it is until it’s happened,
then we my just have to undergo a rude awakening in order to do what needs to be
done!
Chiron’s Relationship to Saturn & Uranus
As I mentioned earlier, the majority of Chiron’s orbit lies between Saturn and Uranus.
We have already met Saturn in Unit 2 and you should be fairly familiar with its
influence and activity now. However, to recap briefly, Saturn reflects the following
aspects of life and our own psyche:








the principle of boundaries and definition
the mothering principle
our physical body and how we go about establishing and maintaining our
physical boundaries
frustration of our desires and intentions by aspects of ourselves or our
environment
recognition of our basic separateness from others and the need to define
ourselves in our own terms
self-discipline, endurance and patience
the principle of maturation and wisdom

Page 9
Essentially Saturn teaches that we are responsible for our own lives and their
success or otherwise. Where it lies in a chart indicates where we most need to learn
this lesson and where, in doing so, we can reap the greatest rewards.
Chiron’s position between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus tells us something of its
role in the evolution of human consciousness and our own paths of personal and
spiritual development. It acts as a bridge between the Saturnian and Uranian
principles in our lives, at times embracing one and at others embracing the other. If
we consider the analogy of Saturn as a material substance and Uranus as a gas,
Chiron is the catalyst which changes solid matter into gas. It is that thing which is
brought to bear upon one to bring about the other. It bridges the gap between the
two states and provides a path along which we can walk from one state of being to
the next.
The action of Chiron in this way may be best demonstrated through an example:
Page 10
Here we have the chart of the late Princess Diana, the mother of Princes William and
Harry and former wife of Prince Charles, current heir to the British throne. As you
can see, she has Saturn in Capricorn in the 2nd house, Chiron in Pisces in the 3rd
house and Uranus in Leo in the 9th house. Diana is known almost above all else, for
the impact she had upon the royal family and the nature of its relationship with the
British public. Her presence introduced an entirely different energy into the royal
household, one which it struggled to accommodate.
She married Prince Charles having just turned twenty, but the marriage was
somewhat doomed to failure due to a number of factors all much analysed in the
world media. Diana was a sensitive and emotional person who struggled at times
with an eating disorder and depression. She demonstrated a natural ‘common touch’
with people which won her much love all over the world. It did not, however, blend
well with the somewhat dated and ‘stuffy’ air of the British royal family. However, due
to the nature of Diana’s relationship with the British public, the royal family was
forced to acknowledge the need for change and has since embraced, largely through
the activities and choices of Diana’s two sons, some more modern ways of
conducting its affairs and its relationship with the British public.
We can see here, woven within the fabric of Diana’s life, the journey from Saturn in
Capricorn (the upholding of traditional values and rules) in the 2nd house (the place
of financial and material security) to Uranus in Leo (the freedom to do things
differently and express the self more vibrantly) in the 9th House (which corresponds
with privilege as reflected in its rulership of higher education, professions such as the
law and medicine etc), via Chiron in Pisces (an emotional wound which enables
empathy and resonance with other people) in the 3 rd house (the house of the
‘common’ person, the general public).
You may also have noticed that Diana’s Uranus is conjunct her North Node,
indicating the profound impact she was bound to have upon the royal family as she
occupied her place within it (Leo rules royalty) and developed the confidence to
express herself and gain attention for who she was(North Node in Leo). She also
has Mars in Virgo conjunct her North Node in Leo. This is an aspect which gives
enormous energy and drive to bring about the potential of the North Node, and it is
certainly true that Diana became a force to be reckoned with as far as the royal
family were concerned. Mars on the North Node often features in the chart of
someone who has been something of a trail-blazer which is true for her impact on
British royal culture, but in Virgo this was done through the accumulation of many
Page 11
‘little’ things which contributed to a burgeoning need for royalty to embrace the
possibility that one of their own could do things so differently and be publically
lauded as a result. Had her Mars also been in Leo she may have had a more
extravagant and ‘in your face’ approach to this role!
Study of Diana’s chart also raises the interesting question of intent and destiny.
When we explored the role of the North Node in unit 5 we considered it as the
indicator of destiny in that it shows where we need to head to fulfil our potential. If
Diana’s chart had been read at her birth it would be unlikely that an astrologer would
have predicted she would marry the future king and reform the British royalty!
Although they would clearly have seen that she had a high profile to step into and
would make a significant mark upon the world by gaining that profile and using it to
make contact with people and promote causes close to her heart. So whilst her
personal destiny in terms of the qualities she needed to develop and express were
clear, the form that would take and the her wider role as reformer of the British
monarchy would not be so explicit even though, as we review her chart after the fact,
we can see how clearly evident that role was within it. All of which demonstrates the
many layers of a chart and, by extrapolation, of ourselves and our lives, with each
step we take towards fulfilling our potential having all manner of ripples which radiate
outward into the world around us.
Our Chironic journey can often become the source of our creativity, as demonstrated
in the following chart: (PTO)
Page 12
This is the chart of Chris Carter, creator of the highly successful television series the
X Files, which propelled him to fame and fortune in the nineties. As you can see, he
has Saturn in Sagittarius in his 5th house, Chiron in Aquarius in the 8th, opposite
Uranus in Leo in the 2nd. In case you don’t know, the X Files featured two FBI agents
assigned to explore ‘unexplained phenomena’ occurring in cases brought to the
attention of their employers. Its nine seasons and two feature films cover topics
ranging from vampirism to alien abduction and psychic killers to government
conspiracy, interwoven with themes of religion and belief, loss and grief, and
exploration of the increasingly complex relationship between the two key players,
Mulder and Scully. It captured the spirit of the times and set the scene for a whole
new genre of paranormal drama which continues today.
In Chris Carter’s chart we see his own struggles with issues of religion and personal
belief in the form of Saturn in Sagittarius in his 5th house of creativity. Saturn in this
house requires a creative response to the issues and restrictions it creates in our
Page 13
lives, whilst at the same time limiting the form our creative expression can take. We
can’t ‘waste’ our creativity here. It must be purposeful and focused. It must have
meaning. His Uranus in the 2nd house in Leo speaks of the need to liberate his selfexpression (Leo) in order to experience a sense of self-worth (2nd house issues of
self esteem). The trine between these two planets adds a good dose of creative
ease into this process, with plenty of creative talent available. Chiron, the bridge
between the two, lies in his 8th house, the house of death, rebirth, deep
transformation and the place where we merge our energies with another so deeply
that we become one with them, all themes reflected in the content of the X Files and
other shows that he has created. In Aquarius, Chiron demands that we embrace
‘extreme possibilities’ (a quote from the X Files!) even as we doubt our ability to cope
with them and the impact they could have upon our lives. So the challenges that he
has encountered with regard to his own beliefs and what he holds to be true (Saturn
in Sagittarius) have been catalysed by a need to seek out non-mainstream truths
and possibilities in order to make sense of life (Chiron on Aquarius in 8th), thus
enabling him to express the more innovative and visionary aspects of his character
which provides him a sense of freedom of self expression which boosts his self
esteem - and his bank account! (2nd house Uranus in Leo).
Again, you may have noticed that Chris Carter’s Saturn is on his North Node, but in
this case they are in different signs even though the conjunction is very close, with
less than a degree of separation. North Node in Scorpio demands that we penetrate
the depths of our experience, question and uncover truths otherwise hidden. It allows
us little rest until we are prepared to look into the shadows and discern what lies
there. Conjunct Saturn in Sagittarius we can see how his dissatisfaction with
mainstream religion and philosophical thought will have contributed to the pursuit of
his nodal path, highlighting his inability to accept the status quo of belief, in favour of
a deeper exploration of what’s really going on. Indeed, the X Files strap line ‘The
Truth Is Out There’ sums up Chris Carter’s Nodal path very well, although we might
add to that ‘The Truth Is In Here’ too, because, ultimately, the North Node in Scorpio
takes us deeper into ourselves than any other nodal path. Perhaps his Saturn in
Sagittarius has acted as an anchor, enabling him to maintain contact with the outside
world and thereby express his inner journey in a creative way (5th house) through the
medium of television and film (Mercury in Libra, sextiling his North Node/Saturn
conjunction)?
Page 14
A final thought on Saturn, Chiron and Uranus…
When we looked at the Moon’s Nodes in unit 5 we encountered an aspect of our
chart with which we may have some trouble getting to grips! The Nodes often point
us in a direction which feels alien or too far off from security and the known for us to
want to go there, and yet once we do we wonder why we ever stayed away! Our
Chironic path is similar. It often has a feeling of discomfort about it, until we begin to
commit deeply to its healing and rectifying power.
One of the reasons for this discomfort is that Saturn and Uranus are effectively
opposite ends of a spectrum. Saturn seeks and imposes restriction, boundaries and
definition. Uranus seeks and creates liberation from restriction and is iconoclastic in
its action. It challenges Saturnian ‘norms’ and clears the path ahead for new
possibilities to arise. It cannot bear to be restricted or suppressed, whilst Saturn
often fears freedom, its own or that of others! If anything could happen Saturn is
most uneasy! When we experience these two planets in this polarised way, the task
of Chiron to shift us from one to the other can seem overwhelmingly huge and
foreboding!
However, at the ultimate level Uranus and Saturn are not so different really, for the
greatest security lies in an ability to embrace complete freedom. Once we can let go
any need for life to be a certain way, for particular circumstances to arise for us to
feel secure or satisfied, then we are truly secure for nothing can harm, diminish or
threaten us. So whilst Saturn and Uranus are akin to a conservative elder and a
wayward youth respectively (!), at the end of the day they seek the same thing: to be
impervious to the vicissitudes of the physical and material world. Saturn seeks this
through managing and controlling it. Uranus seeks it through freeing oneself from its
demands. It is often the task of Chiron to heal that which prevents us from
recognising the common ground of these two mighty forces and their shared
importance to our life path. No one can live in a totally Saturnian way, erecting brick
walls around the things in life which they identify with, to keep in the desired
elements and keep out the undesirable ones. And no one can throw total caution to
the wind and let go all anchors to the material world. But we can all find the balance
point between the two extremes where we can live within the material world, still
meeting its essential demands whilst maintaining a lightness of touch and
engagement that keeps us free.

Okay, time to listen to the audio for this unit. In it I explore further the issue of
intercepted signs and planets, before returning to Saturn, Chiron and Uranus to
consider their influence when aspecting inner planets. Finally I look at the
importance of connecting with our own inner Saturn, Chiron and Uranus, to help us
recognise when they are at work in our lives and better respond to their influence
and impact.
I refer to Prince William’s chart during the audio which is reproduced here for your
reference:
Page 16
Time for your sixth assignment…
1) Looking at your own natal chart, identify any intercepted signs and planets that
you may have. If you don’t have any, use the chart below to answer the questions
which follow:
a) Which signs are intercepted?
b) Which planets are intercepted and in what signs?
c) Which houses contain the intercepted signs?
d) Which signs contain two house cusps?
e) Provide an interpretation for the data identified above, remembering to note where
and how intercepted planets will find expression. If you encounter planets we’ve not
yet covered in the course ignore them for now. We’ll get there later!
(up to 1,000 words)
Page 17
2) Again, looking at your own chart identify any Angular Planets (that is, planets
which lie on or within 3 degrees either side of the four main angles of the chart: AC,
DC, MC, IC) which we have covered thus far in the course. If you don’t have any,
use the following chart to answer the questions which follow:
a) Which planets are angular and which angles do they occupy?
b) Provide a basic interpretation of how this may influence your self-expression and
your life-path.
(up to 750 words)
Page 18
3) Discuss the relationship between your own Saturn, Chiron and Uranus,
remembering to refer to any aspects these planets make to other planets and/or the
moon’s nodes. What does this tell you about your path of development and healing?
Provide one or two examples of ways in which you have encountered the energies of
these planets in your life to date.
(Up to 2,000 words)
4) Choose one of the following three charts. Using the information studied in this
unit, in conjunction with what you already know from your previous studies, speak
about the individual’s path of healing and growth and some of the ways it may
manifest in their everyday life. Remember to consider their nodal path too.
