We Are Never Alone - An Essay on Chiron in Gemini

What is having a Chiron placement in Gemini like?

Having Chiron in Gemini might feel like you’re never good enough for others. The core of the wound lies in perception and communication. You might struggle with showing up and speaking your thoughts, emotions and opinions with a tender fear of judgement and misunderstanding. You might even have several experiences where you’ve actually said or felt like saying, “That’s not what I meant.” With a Chiron placement in Gemini, communication and its many forms is extra difficult. You might struggle with what others might think of you and therefore refuse to take action or speak up out of fear of judgement.

Personal Struggles with Chiron in Gemini

Wounds triggered around perception:

  • Fear and anxiety of being judged by others and therefore feeling like not part of the group
  • Often felt like not being smart enough which kept the author quiet
  • A tendency to question the accuracy of self-representation because of worry about what others would think
  • Feelings related to competition or rivalry because of not feeling smart enough

Communication wound triggers:

  • Feeling like not being seen or heard
  • Often feeling misunderstood, leading to over-explaining which creates more miscommunication
  • Swinging between communication extremes (saying too little or oversharing)

How Healing Was Found

Permission to not make assumptions: “What other people think of you is none of your business” — learning to check perceptions and narratives against evidence rather than assumptions.

Recognizing it’s not always about me: Understanding that everyone communicates differently, that misunderstandings are normal, and that other people’s truth and one’s own truth can coexist.

Learning to trust oneself: Using silence strategically, resisting the urge to over-explain, and encouraging belief in what is known to be true. Seeking knowledge from curiosity and excitement rather than a place of lacking.

Working with emotions as messengers: Sadness means not knowing where to place love. Anger means a boundary was crossed. Fear means instincts need attention.

Recognizing competition as survival mode: There is an abundance of opportunities, and one’s unique skillset, lived experiences, and energy are exactly what makes one’s work distinctive.

Affirmations

I am incredibly gifted at helping others to confront fear and find their own voice and own creative expression. I am an unstoppable force at creating a ladder into a new level of consciousness through my own intuitive and intellectual gifts. I find without even knowing it that I allow space for people to see a very different and eclectic and expanded way of thinking, speaking, learning and being.

Three words to embody:

  • Aphorism — an absolute and undeniable truth embodied by spirit
  • Tenacity — a persistence full of the humble parts of the soul driven by purpose despite difficulty
  • Quintessence — a beautiful and intrinsic sense of self, an essence so impeccable it is mistaken as forged by the Goddesses only to be known as a creation of one’s own growth
