Lisa Tahir, LCSW is the author of The Chiron Effect and founder of Psychoastrology®.
The conversation centres on Chiron: the wounded healer of Greek mythology, a celestial body within our solar system and, in Lisa’s work, a symbolic guide to understanding our deepest emotional vulnerabilities.
Lisa shares how she was led through meditation to research Chiron after questioning why she and many of her successful clients continued to experience anxiety, depression and recurring emotional patterns despite having undertaken significant personal-development work.
She explains how the placement of Chiron within a birth chart may reveal an area of core wounding that influences our beliefs,relationships, emotional reactions and repeated experiences. Lisa calls the recurring pull around these areas of vulnerability the Chiron Effect.
The conversation explores the mythological story of Chiron, the relationship between wounding and purpose, the difference between abandonment and self-abandonment, and why external success cannot heal an internal belief that we are not valuable.
Lisa’s approach uses astrology as a diagnostic tool while combining psychology, spirituality, empathy, self-forgiveness and personal responsibility as the pathway towards healing.
At its heart, this episode asks whether the place where we feel most wounded might also reveal the compassion, medicine andpurpose we are here to bring into the world.
Those with ears, let them hear.
Always love,
Ryan
