The Archer is Chiron the wounded healer. We are all wounded and from that deep wound we have to become healers, healers of ourselves and healers of one another. For that, Chiron, and we, have to lay aside arch and arrows and raise the scales of justice, use all medicines that we know to cure ourselves, heal the Earth, and make peace. The struggle is not with arms but with nonviolent action. It requires courage and value.

Sagitario
El arquero apunta a Júpiter,
planeta de tantas lunas,
cuya luz se refleja en sus ancas,
y en la punta de topacio de su saeta
brota la llama inconstante del anhelo.
En cadena de estaño
lleva pectoral de turquesa
bruñida de ensueños
y apunta
y apunta
y anhela herir al cielo.

The archer points at Jupiter,
planet of many moons
whose light reflects on his haunches,
and on the topaz point of his arrow
bursts the inconstant flame of his desire.
On a chain of tin
he wears a medallion of turquoise
polished by dreams
and he points
and he points
and desires to wound the sky.
