Barry Goddard – An insight into the relevance of the planet Chiron in astrology
CHIRON'S 'INCURABLE WOUND' Chiron is said to be ‘the incurable wound’. I think that is an existential statement. It is the discomfort of existence itself, caused by it not going the way we would like it to. ‘Discomfort’ is putting it mildly. There can be terrible...
Barry Goddard – Embodying the sky spirits
