From Chiron is referred to as The Wounded Healer. While writing a post about the book one day, Autocorrect corrected the 'Wounded Healer' to the 'Wonder Healer.' I like that. Chiron, the wonder healer. Let’s change wounds into wonder. And then embrace our super powers.

Exciting Read for Discovery!

Seeing the title of the book, I was intrigued to learn about the word Chiron and most especially about how this can be a key for healing the past, for creating a future, and, for mastering midlife, which is just what I need. The author, Stephanie Hrehirchuk, takes the reader to a very fun and interesting way to understand hormones and midlife. I liked the way of looking at midlife as being in the Half-Life Pavilion rather than a Past-Lives Pavilion. I also liked what it says that while conditions in life have been there at birth, there's the Chiron return for where the energy can be focused. This makes the midlife journey happy and hopeful because it is a time for transformation and positive change. Chiron, which represents the Wounded Healer, can be found in each house that defines an area of your life. For each house, the author writes what it's purpose is and poses questions for you to answer and understand yourself better. Then the chapters become more exciting in Part III, with Chiron in each sign. While I was very eager to check my own sign, it was also fun to check the other signs of family and friends. This book is worth it for understanding the questions bothering us at midlife. The fun way that the author wrote it, makes for a hopeful and cheerful read. I am going to check out her other books as well. Very well done, Stephanie.

As an avid astrology enthusiast, I was absolutely delighted to discover Stephanie Hrehirchuk's 'Chiron Return'. This book is a true gem for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the Chiron Return, and to navigate this transformative time with greater awareness and purpose.

Hrehirchuk's writing style is both informative and engaging, making it a pleasure to read from cover to cover. She expertly breaks down the complex concepts of the Chiron Return, and offers practical guidance on how to navigate its impact on relationships, work, and personal growth.

One of the things I loved most about this book was the practical exercises and meditations that Hrehirchuk includes throughout the chapters. These exercises help readers to integrate the lessons of the Chiron Return into their daily lives, and to approach this pivotal time with so much more clarity and intention.

Overall, I cannot recommend 'Chiron Return' enough to anyone who is interested in astrology or going through this important astrological milestone. Stephanie Hrehirchuk's insights and guidance are truly invaluable, and have helped me to deepen my understanding of astrology and to navigate this transformative time with greater ease and grace. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of astrology and to live a more conscious and purposeful life.

I am so disappointed in how breezy & shallow this book on this important topic is - and the large-font text is surrounded by lot of white space. I know it's funny that I'm complaining that it is not very good- more like a Sunday newspaper astrology column by Sun Sign - but also that there is so little actually here. FOR EXAMPLE: it would be handy to provide a Chiron ephemeris table for -say- 1940 to 2040; she just directs you to look on the internet. And the "through the houses, through the signs" sections are so short and simplistic, with no discussion of aspects at all. Yawn.

Really, there IS lots of good stuff on the internet, for example I just listened to Patricia L. Walsh's Chiron talk FOR FREE on YouTube. She's great! I am working through her book on evolutionary astrology "Understanding Karmic Complexes." This one is worth the paper it is printed on; skip Stephanie Hrehirchuk, I'd say.

I have always enjoyed astrology as well as mythology and that the author put those two together and how she explains how Chiron can help you through life in different ways. That really interested me. And I loved how she put the different houses and how you can be helped there as well. One second I did enjoy the most though, was how Chiron was through zodiacs. I’m a Gemini so it was intriguing to find out how Chiron could help throughout that, especially when you end up going through a midlife crisis later in life. How she had put exercises and questions for you to wander in your mind. So, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a little healing and help through a midlife crisis to be healed like Chiron can, and how when you don’t know how to, this book can help navigate you through your crisis or whenever you need it.

Chiron Return: The Key to Mastering Midlife is a great book for those interested in Astrology, or eager to learn about it. Author Stephanie Hrehirchuk takes a deep dive into the constellation Chiron which represents the immortal king of the centaurs in Greek mythology who was particularly known for his skill in healing arts, as well as its usefulness for those going through midlife challenges. During this time period, many people struggle to adjust to changes in different aspects of their life such as career and family changes. Hrehirchuk shares that by discovering where Chiron falls on ones specific star chart, one can then use a variety of practices and exercise to basically access healing and support during your midlife.

I'm about to embark on a journey where I'll be trying to heal elements of my chiron wound as I turn 49 in 4 years... I'm therefore reading everything Chiron related I can get my hands on!

This was good and had some nice examples of lived experience but it didn't go deep enough for me :)
