Through genuine self-expression, Chiron in Gemini's wounds are healed and transformed.
If you have Chiron in Gemini, what does this mean for you?
Empathetic attunement is an essential stage of development in childhood, which is necessary for building the capacity to recognize and communicate our feelings in a way that is understood. Having Chiron in Gemini, the development of your communication skills were delayed or stopped from not being heard or seen in an empathetic, considerate, or kind way. The most straightforward consequence of being born with Chiron in Gemini is the experience of a childhood of being constantly misunderstood.
As a child with Chiron in Gemini, your caregiver's inability to be attuned to your emotional state might have resulted in a disruption in your ability to effectively communicate. You might have been shamed or ridiculed by someone in authority and this led to feelings that lowered your self-esteem and feelings of self-worth.
As a consequence of Chiron in Gemini, there is a tendency to compare yourself to others.
This can lead to the development of negative feelings and thoughts about yourself. When pursuing the goals you set, this type of self-sabotage can impede your forward progress. Instead of being appreciated and acknowledged for the knowledge and wisdom you have, you could feel that you are not appreciated personally or professionally, and may feel like you're not good enough.
Comparing yourself with others is something you do frequently, and it's often a losing battle. In your mind, there are always people doing 'better' or 'more' than you are, or there are people doing 'worse' or 'less' than you are. Instead of putting certain people higher and others lower than yourself, recognizing your individual strengths and weaknesses will help you see yourself in a more accurate way in relation to other people.
When you have Chiron in Gemini, enhancing your talents and discovering your own personal abilities can help you establish an intimate relationship with your most authentic, non-competitive self.

Being able to connect to the present moment in a state of mindfulness and appreciation for all that is present could be beneficial to break free from the hamster wheel of being in a state of comparison. Every one of us has the potential to find our own personal way.
Concerning the issue of comparing ourselves with others, when we are struggling with this issue, an appropriate inquiry to make is "Am I an improved version of myself today than I was yesterday? Who am I becoming by the choices I make today?"
