Chiron and Scar Tissue

I thought this response to a fellow astrologer friend worthy of sharing.

*******************************
When I did EMDR, my therapist could lower the intensity of what I felt when thinking of certain things from the past, but she couldn't get me down to a zero level of feeling. When she asked me why I thought this was, I responded that some things ideally shouldn't happen to anyone. Maybe I am just far too idealistic for reality.

I think that forgiveness is a huge part of healing, it is something we do for ourselves because it makes our personal load much lighter. But, forgiveness doesn't make the wound go away completely.
To use the example of rape, since it being brought up inspired me to write this, even if the rapist is forgiven by the victim, does it erase the experience of it for that victim? If a child forgives a rejecting parent, does it fill the gap?
hence the idea that the experience leaves us, "misshapen"... the wounding leaves scar tissue. I think Chiron is like our scar tissue

Chiron's path crosses inside the orbit of Saturn.
The skin is linked to the lungs and large intestine... Saturn.
Wounds to it, things that cross that boundary, tend to leave scar tissue. Abstraction might say that I can find a point of healing that is as if the wound never happened. Reality might say that there will be a scar.

Chiron also crosses outside the orbit of Uranus. As the first outer planet, Uranus is the boundary where, in regard to the planets, we meet the collective (the others).  Just like we personally risk wounds in our interactions and receive healing through others, we can't help but also play a role in the scar tissue of others, both the wounding and healing.
