Through the Doorway 1: Chiron in the Houses

In this article and the next, we address the task of interpreting Chiron’s message through the birth chart.

These two articles are entitled ‘Through the Doorway’ because, by examining the placement of Chiron by house (area of life) and sign (quality of expression), we will discover the direction in which we need to go, the doorway through which we must pass, if we are to find the orientation and the activities that will give us the opportunity to lose self-centredness and to find purpose in our daily lives.

The houses which are of such value in practical Western horoscopy, are a meaningless concept to a Magian astrologer, and so the table given below was compiled without reference to my friend. He has supplied some very useful insights into the zodiacal signs, however, and these have been worked into the article that will appear next month, the final article in this series.
