Where does Chiron fall in my astrological chart?
Chiron in the fourth house or either Cancer or If Chiron is situated in this area of your astrology chart, which is ruled by Cancer and the fourth house, you may have some unresolved issues with your home and family.
What does Chiron represent in your natal chart?
Chiron is the astrological symbol for our deepest wounds and our capacity to heal them.
Chiron is a minor planet whose name refers to a Greek healer, philosopher, and teacher who, tragically, was unable to heal himself. Chiron is represented by a key, underscoring the significance of understanding its important lessons.
Our Chiron placement is, in many ways, our secret strength. As we struggle with suffering, we develop insight that we might use to heal others.
Chiron often spends eight years in a single sign of the zodiac. (When he enters Saturn’s orbit, though, he can fly by one sign in less than two years. He has the choice of having an outpatient procedure or choosing a longer course of therapy.)
We all experience a “Chiron return” around our 50th birthday since Chiron travels through all 12 zodiac signs in about 49 years.
At this stage, our deepest scars could resurface for additional therapy, particularly if we’ve previously resisted engaging in any deeper introspection. When we’ve “done our work,” we might be given leadership positions that let us share our knowledge and exercise our healing abilities.
Your Chiron is in what sign?
Chiron, which is categorized as a comet/minor planet, is frequently referred to as an asteroid that is attracted to the Sun’s gravitational pull. Astrologers just recently, in 1977, made the discovery of Chiron. It is referred to as the “rainbow bridge between the spiritual and material universe” and was discovered circling between Saturn and Uranus.
Chiron traverses all 12 signs of the zodiac in 5051 years. However, Chiron spends a varying amount of time in each sign due to its wildly erratic orbit. Chiron spends the most time (about 8 years) in Aries and the least time in Libra (1.52 years). Chiron is in Aries from 2018 to 2027, which also means that anybody born between these dates has a Chiron in Aries on a collective basis. Your Chiron sign can be determined using the chart below.
What is the Chiron-related number?
American astronomer Charles Kowal found Chiron in 1977, and it was given the asteroid designation 2060. It has a diameter of roughly 200 km (125 miles) and moves in an erratic, eccentric orbit with a period of 50.45 years that crosses Saturn’s and passes just within Uranus’.
Why do I have a Chiron wound?
Chiron is named after a mythological Greek centaur known for his skill as a teacher and healer. Ironically, despite all of his knowledge and healing abilities, Chiron was unable to repair the poison arrow wound that had given him chronic suffering. This is how the comet got the name “wounded healer.” Chiron is a symbol for the profound roots of sorrow, suffering, and injury in our lives, much as its namesake’s mythology suggests. That area of us that feels damaged, sensitive, and vulnerable is our weak spot.
But pain isn’t the only aspect of Chiron. This minor planet also stands for the incredible capacity we have to use our own difficult experiences to cure others and transform them into spiritual growth. In the end, Chiron in astrology teaches us how to draw strength from our suffering and learn from it. It teaches us that our most sensitive and profound wounds can actually serve as a gateway to the most profound kind of both personal and collective healing. Chiron is all about overcoming obstacles since doing so frequently increases our capacity for empathy. It represents our capacity to transform our suffering into strength.
A Chiron or Saturn?
Chiron is the name given to a purported Saturnian moon that Hermann Goldschmidt claimed to have seen in 1861. Chiron is Greek.
Since then, it has been established that there is no such moon.
In April 1861, Hermann Goldschmidt proclaimed the discovery of Saturn’s ninth moon, which he said orbited between Titan and Hyperion. Chiron was never again sighted, and Goldschmidt’s discovery was never verified.
William Henry Pickering made the discovery of Phoebe in 1898; it is today thought to be Saturn’s ninth moon. Strangely, Pickering thought he had found a second moon of Saturn in 1905. He claimed that it orbited the planet between Titan and Hyperion. He gave the new moon the name Themis. Like Chiron, Themis was never seen again.
The term 2060 Chiron refers to an item that was found in 1977 and is currently categorized as a centaur.
Now, where is Chiron?
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and is linked to infantile emotions, so while Chiron is currently there, you are attempting to ease suffering from your youth or childhood.
2022: Where is Chiron now?
You might have heard about Mercury retrograde and been interested in the astronomical implications.
Retrograde refers to motion in the opposite direction, therefore when Mercury is in this position, it appears to be going backwards to us on Earth.
This indicates that Mercury is actually moving backward through the signs of the zodiac rather than forward.
It is an effective and quantifiable optical illusion.
Chiron also moves backward.
Chiron moves forward for more than half of the year (astrologers refer to this as “direct motion”), but we refer to a slowing down, stopping, and turning backwards or forwards of Chiron as a “station.”
When Chiron is turning backwards, an astrologer would state, “Chiron is stationary and turning retrograde today,” or “Chiron is stationary retrograde.”
We say “Chiron is stationary and turning direct today” or “Chiron is stationary direct” when the planet is turning forward.
Because the planet we’re discussing is actually pivoting and because stations frequently result in pivotal occurrences for those of us on Earth who are being affected, I refer to these stations as “pivotal days.”
The character of the transiting planet, in this case Chiron, will determine how those critical events cause changes in us.
How does Chiron change us?By healing us, once and for all, and by restoring us to wholeness.
Chiron transits can make you feel as though something is hurting you. Frequently, it seems as though you are being torn open and a new wound is being placed in the present. However, if you look closer, you’ll discover that the past has risen up to meld with the present and reminds you of something unpleasant from the past. It may take some more examination to realize that you are simultaneously dealing with both wounds. You need healing in order to be totally present once more, and Chiron has made that clear to you.
Chiron’s mission is to bring about wholeness.
Chiron joins together things that have been torn apart or broken in order to mend them and finally reintegrate them.
Some refer to this as soul retrieval, but Chiron may also restore damaged relationships, shattered homes (Moon), and broken reputations (Saturn) (Venus).
In order for the mending to take place, Chiron needs to bring to mind the previous time when the thing was shattered.
The beauty of it is that you can become more integrated and entire in that area than you’ve ever been if you let it happen rather than resisting it.
The Chiron Return, which occurs when Chiron has circled the zodiac once and comes back to the place it was at the time of your birth, is one of the most significant Chiron transits.
Everyone experiences this the year they turn 50, which may help to explain why this age is so difficult and full of regret.
However, it marks a coming of age for real healers, integrators, whole-makers, and bridge-builders.
Movement of Chiron this year:
In 2022, Chiron moves forward to the 16th degree of Aries, turns retrograde and moves backward to the 11th degree of Aries, then moves forward through the 16th degree of Aries once more after turning direct. Then it continues on to the next degree, where it will repeat the process the following year.
How does this affect you?
This indicates that this year, Chiron will transit any planet that is between 11 and 16 degrees of Aries. Any planet between 11 and 16 degrees in any of Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn is experiencing a Chiron transit because Chiron in Aries forms a hard aspect to those planets.
Peaks in the intensity of this transit:
A transit will affect you most powerfully at its exact time as well as during its stations, or key days. Therefore, if Mars is at 13 degrees of Capricorn, you’ll experience Chiron’s effect most strongly when it transits 13 degrees of Aries as well as on the days it goes direct and retrograde.
Which signs in the zodiac are healers?
These four signs are the zodiac’s four healers.
- Cancer. The most protective sign of all is cancer.
- Pisces. Pisceans are highly perceptive and compassionate.
- Virgo. Of all the zodiac signs, Virgos are frequently regarded as the best healers.
- Scorpio. Scorpion is a gifted healer who is dedicated, determined, and trustworthy.
