Chiron in the twelfth house takes a person beyond ordinary perception. Their inner life may be so bright that dreams, fantasies, subtle sensations and invisible connections seem more real than the outer world. In childhood this may appear through imaginary friends, escape into games, books, the internet, secret worlds and the wish to hide from the roughness of reality.
The main wound is connected with the feeling that the world is unsafe. The person may experience injustice, betrayal, loneliness, too early a meeting with pain, after which they begin to close. They want to have a secret place where no one enters: a room, office, screen, spiritual practice, inner cocoon. But long isolation does not heal if it becomes escape from life.
