Chiron in Capricorn - A Core Wound in Responsibility, Achievement, and Success
Healing the Chiron in Capricorn deep wound expressed by excessive control, exploitation, or greed is achieved through creating boundaries and building self-confidence.
With Chiron in Capricorn, as a child, your main wound was caused by the hurtful ways you were judged for not being successful or good enough.
This traumatizing experience was then internalized into your inner child as a self-concept of not being good enough.
Having Chiron in Capricorn, as an adult you could be carrying this memory unconsciously, with the limiting belief of 'I am not good enough'. You’re most likely unaware of this part of yourself until the wound is triggered. This means that you could actively avoid criticism because the outcome could be an explosion of negative emotions. This is a result of the inner child who was criticized because they didn't meet the unrealistic expectations of others, or wasn't praised for the amazing tasks they did master.
These early memory impressions are still lingering in the deep wounds that reflect your sense of accomplishment, responsibility, and success. As a result, you might be too controlling and limiting, or, conversely too willing to hand over control to other people.
Having Chiron in Capricorn, you may feel an obsession with success, yet at the same time, you feel like you're not enough, adequate, or truly happy.
This can be a disorienting experience for you as you're perceived to be successful, and you exert a lot of effort to achieve success.
Making a difference is very important to you in all the activities you pursue. When you're afraid you'll be unsuccessful, or you become frustrated when in the process of reaching your goals, you might sacrifice ethics for personal gain and greed. For example, this may manifest in making up a lie at times to enhance the appearance of numbers or stats.
Individuals with Chiron in Capricorn may engage in acts of deceit and exploitation to protect themselves from feelings of insecurity. This tendency to deceive is something you should be watching out for, and then correct.
If you've been recognized for your true merit or even manipulated your circumstances to achieve that status, with Chiron in Capricorn you're usually seen as successful, and you use your energy to maintain that image. Long-term, this can be exhausting for you to sustain.
The best way to make use of your energy and resources is to seek advice or assistance from your mentors and colleagues in the areas of planning, organization, and scheduling. Because you're a highly capable and self-reflective individual, you may require only a small amount of guidance or suggestion to make changes.
You'll feel more relaxed when you seek assistance and let others help you.
As a result of the self-healing Chiron in Capricorn brings, with your newly gained confidence you could decide to be a mentor for others. Using positive affirmations such as ‘I am capable’, or ‘I am doing the best with what I know’, will help you be confident that the actions you are taking towards reaching your goal will result in recognition, appreciation, and a positive reputation which is important to maintaining your positive self-esteem.
Establish the correct boundaries to reach your goals. The ability to set these boundaries is crucial for you to master. The negotiation of your needs are important areas to be focusing on each day.
Individuals with Chiron in Capricorn should take the time needed to talk through any concerns with a trusted family member or coworker. We tend to make decisions and negotiations unconsciously every day, without much contemplation of their positive or negative effects. Being present and aware in the present moment will help you keep balance in your professional and personal life. You will then be able to work from an authentic place that will allow you to be successful and earn the respect of others.
If your Chiron in Capricorn wound is not acknowledged and is ignored, you'll be criticized rather than embraced by other people.
The shadow aspect of Chiron in Capricorn could be hidden within your subconscious and manifest in behaviors that provoke the hurtful criticisms of others, instead of leading to the empathy and understanding that you would like to receive. The issues you need to pay attention to are in the parts of your life that are related to prestige and success. Watch out for the tendency to engage in actions and behaviors that can lead to you being perceived as an opportunist, or viewed as a user. You love success, but when you let your enthusiasm go unchecked, you may put gains ahead of other people’s feelings, or go on a power trip.
With Chiron in Capricorn, finding ways to serve other people is a way to heal areas of weakness and vulnerability. Seek out win-win opportunities, and use them when launching something new. Starting a community group, volunteer organization, or charity are a few ways you can use your skills in a positive way. Offer to assist others to achieve their goals with specific measurable markers you create together for determining your progress. You will find healing and fulfillment by helping someone else. Re-parenting your inner child can lead to self-acceptance and forgiveness for any part of yourself that you may have suppressed and judged.
Having Chiron in Capricorn, do something every week just to experience the pure pleasure of it!
Watch a movie, read a book, go for a walk at the beach or in a park, or buy something for yourself.
Finding a mentor, teacher, or group, and asking for help in an area you struggle with or believe to be underdeveloped could be beneficial. Allow your process of learning to be fun. Accept that growth and mistakes are both part of your journey. They are part of your development curve, it's a natural and normal process when learning new abilities. Look for the humor in your mistakes. Find a way to laugh at yourself instead of criticizing yourself for having made mistakes.
