If you are an individual with Chiron in Cancer, your core wounding occurred during childhood, having a family environment that was threatening, unsafe, insecure, or uncomfortable in some way made you feel abandoned and rejected.

With Chiron in Cancer, these experiences created an inner shift for you, home did not feel safe or secure.

As an adult, these insecurities cause you to struggle to find where you belong, where to create a home and plant roots. Being unsure of where you belong leads to feeling disconnected from your intuition and instincts.

To compensate, you could sacrifice your personal needs to be part of an organization, relationship, or community. Your deep wound from Chiron in Cancer of abandonment is healed by creating and connecting to the soul of a mother who loves you. The loving mother is in you and accepts the reality of your inherent loveability.

By planting nourishing deep roots of love in your home environment (by knowing love is found within the home and where you rest) you can build a deeper connection to your home as a safe place. The concept of home as a secure and safe place is the foundation that we use to launch ourselves out into the world and return for nourishment, replenishment, and relaxation.

Healing your Chiron in Cancer core wound comes by recovering from grief and loss. 

Perhaps you have to look into the loss of something that, as an infant, wasn't initially there which is why you did not have it.

Other requirements not fulfilled with Chiron in Cancer might be the security you desired, the love you sought, or the peace you longed for, were never attained. These are only some of the types of loss that you can now take the time to mourn and heal.

With Chiron in Cancer, it is crucial to feel compassion for yourself and the adolescent and child you once were who might have dealt with events and circumstances that were beyond the capacity of your development to handle. You are worthy of being loved and, therefore, you should create a support system right now.

The shadow side of Chiron in Cancer may be concealed through unconscious patterns, and manifest as actions that trigger the unwelcome judgment of others instead of creating the kind of closeness and understanding you would like to receive.

For the Chiron in the Cancer individual, other people might consider you to be moody since you might internalize your feelings of fear or uncertainty instead of expressing them. 

You may also shut yourself off completely from the world and isolate yourself. You may be overly self-protective or sensitive to life. You may feel completely alone and insignificant.

With Chiron in Cancer, it's a good idea not to be a hoarder... sell or give away things you don't want or use any longer. Make your home into a sanctuary. To the extent that you can, make your home a place of relaxation that is reflective of your personal style. Re-visit this process of decluttering every year or more often, for instance during the change of the seasons. The flow of energy is more fluid in spaces that are able to accommodate the flow of energy. Emotions that are depleting hang around areas that are crowded and stagnant. Request assistance from family members as well as friends or even hire an expert housekeeper to help you. Cleaning your home will make you feel more connected to it in a positive way, and can boost your energy.

To start blending great memories with your home, invite guests to come over every month. You can host a potluck or play games, watch films, or even host a book club. A house is a home once it is filled with laughter and love. Hosting friends and family members also helps you keep track and stay accountable for maintaining the cleanliness and order in your home. Join a team, group, or club; create your own group; or go online for ways to meet others. One website I enjoy and frequently use is Meetup.com. Explore community message boards at coffee shops or in churches. You can also ask around about ways to meet others with a shared interest or hobby.
