Welcome to another episode ofEmpowered Within.
I'm your host, Jennifer Pilates,spiritual thought leader,
intuitive, medium, and wellnessexpert.
With over 25 years of experiencesupporting women just like you
in healing from within andrising within your purpose.
Today we're diving deep into apowerful astrological shift that
quietly began, but its effectsare rippling through the rest of
(00:58):
this year.
Chiron known as the woundedHealer just went retrograde.
And if you've been feelingemotional, maybe triggered, or
maybe you're cracked, openemotionally in unexpected ways,
you're not alone.
This episode isn't woo or fluff.
It's a grounded exploration ofwhy your old wounds are
(01:20):
whispering louder right now, andhow to use this time for deep
lasting healing.
Did you know that Chiron is nota planet?
It's an asteroid with a uniqueorbit that bridges the gap
between Saturn, which is allabout structure, boundaries, and
(01:41):
responsibilities.
And Uranus who's all aboutawakening disruption and
innovation.
That position alone tells ussomething.
Chiron is the bridge between theold and the new, between what
broke us and what we came hereto heal.
(02:02):
Astrologically.
Chiron represents our corewounds.
The ones we don't always wannatalk about.
The ones that don't fully goaway, the ones sometimes
honestly, we don't even wannafeel.
But also the wound that when wechoose to tend to those wounds,
turn us into wise healers forothers.
(02:29):
Chiron went retrograde on July26th, 2025, and will remain
retrograde until December 29th,2025, giving us about five
months of inner excavation.
Retrogrades are a turning point.
Retrogrades are a time ofturning inward.
Unlike Mercury retrograde, whichdisrupts technology and
(02:51):
communication, Chiron Retrogradeinvites us to sit with our pain,
to sit with our triggers, ourwounds, and reframe the stories
we tell about them.
Right now Chiron is an Aries,the sign of identity initiation,
independence, and the SacredWarrior.
So what wounds are being stirredup?
(03:12):
Wounds around being seen, woundsaround not feeling safe to be
ourselves, wounds aroundbetrayal, abandonment, or being
silenced when we dared to bebold.
The collective right now isbeing asked to face the parts of
us that say, I'm too much.
I can't trust others to supportme.
(03:34):
If I fully show up, I'll berejected.
The pain may feel fresh, butreally it's ancient.
Some of this comes fromchildhood.
Some can even be ancestral orpast life wounds, core wounds,
and some may be from momentsyou've already survived, but
(03:55):
never fully integrated.
This is a cosmic invitation tofinally meet those parts of
ourselves, not to fix them, notto hide them, but to offer them
compassion, grace, clarity, andcare.
(04:15):
So I have a question for you.
Is it true, is there a purposein the pain?
You see, Chiron teaches that wedon't heal by pretending that
we're fine.
No, no, no.
That's spiritual bypassing.
We heal when we give ourselvespermission to feel.
(04:37):
So let's look at the pros.
What are the positives of aChiron retrograde?
You get to reclaim a part ofyourself that's been buried
underneath pain.
You get to soften the voice thatsays, I should be over this.
By now.
You get to become your ownhealer, and in doing so, become
(04:57):
medicine and a healer forothers.
Are there cons?
Are there negatives?
Not exactly, but is there alittle discomfort?
Yes.
This is not bypassing.
This is not overnight healing.
It's slow.
It's raw, real, and honestly,that's where the power is.
(05:23):
You might be wondering.
Does this all impact MotherEarth herself in subtle but
potent ways?
It absolutely does.
As the collective shadow risesthe pain we've ignored, the
disconnection we've tolerated.
Mother Earth feels that Chironretrograde often aligns with
(05:45):
earth-based awakenings.
Shifts in weather and naturalrhythms, increased calls for
grounding, embodiment, andreturning to simplicity arise in
collective grief, and a need tocome back into right
relationships with nature.
(06:06):
So if you're feeling the urge towalk barefoot on the earth to
cry more than usual, or to cleanand clear your space, lean into
those feelings, trust it.
That's your nervous systemsinking with the frequencies of
healing.
(06:27):
So you're probably saying, okay,Jennifer, so now what?
Well, this isn't a time tosprint towards your next big
thing.
It's a time to breathe, to feel,and to reclaim the wisdom in
your wounds, the wisdom in thosecore wounds that you've been
holding onto.
(06:48):
You might journal more, youmight cry more.
Crying is a huge, wonderfulrelease for your body.
You might pull back from peoplewho don't honor your boundaries.
You might finally sign up forthat healing session that you've
been putting off.
You'll know what you need.
All you have to do is giveyourself space and permission to
(07:11):
listen to what your body isasking for.
