CULTIVATING COMPASSION
Washington, DC: A Portal for Healing the Roots of Identity
By Ingride Arboine, Clan Mother Worldwide
At the Fall Equinox on Sept 22, 2025, at 11:19 am, the Sun/ Chiron Midpoint will align with the Imum Coeli (IC) of the geo - detic chart through Washington, DC — the line runs closest to the Altheia Tanner Park node. When the Sun/Chiron midpoint aligns with the Imum Coeli (IC) in a specific location, that place becomes energetically charged as a site of deep-rooted healing, particularly around identity, be- longing, ancestry, and unresolved wounds of the past. The Sun/ Chiron midpoint represents the intersection between our core self (Sun) and our wounding and healing journey (Chiron), while the IC governs our emotional foundation, family lineage, and ances - tral memory. When this midpoint rests on the IC in a locality, it activates the subconscious layers of personal and collective iden- tity, especially those that seek repair. In Washington, DC, this alignment offers a unique oppor- tunity to engage in meditation or ritual focused on healing national and cultural identity wounds, addressing historical pain, and redefining our relationship with homeland and ancestry. As the political and symbolic heart of the United States, Wash- ington, DC holds layers of collective trauma — rooted in coloni - zation, displacement, slavery, and systemic inequities. The Sun/ Chiron IC line here emphasizes the emotional and spiritual im - pact of these historical wounds, inviting us to engage in conscious practices that bring light to what has been buried or denied. Ritual or meditative work in this location can serve to: • Honor Indigenous ancestors and the original stewards of the land, offering space for truth-telling and acknowledg - ment. • Mourn and transmute collective grief, especially related to race, exclusion, and structural violence. • Reclaim a sense of sacred belonging, grounded not in pow- er or borders, but in shared humanity and soul memory. • Heal personal and generational identity fractures, especial- ly for those whose sense of homeland has been wounded, erased, or made invisible. This is a place to root spiritual activism, where ritual can be- come a form of reclamation, repair, and rebirth. Under the Sun/ Chiron IC line, Washington, DC, becomes a threshold — a potent point where inner healing intersects with national transforma- tion.
