What is Chiron?
Chiron is a comet or a small body in the solar system and it orbits the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. It has an erratic orbit around the Sun. Though initially it was called as an asteroid, later on it became classified a minor planet. It is named after a Greek Centaur who was very wise and just.
Chiron in the Natal Chart
In the natal chart, Chiron is referred to as the Wounded Healer. It represents our deepest wound and our efforts to heal the wound. The house where Chiron is posited in our natal chart is meant to be a great place of knowledge, talent and wisdom. It is said to be badly placed when it is placed in the 3 rd house and points to wounds with relation to siblings. Chiron is best placed in one’s 4 th house which implies greater attachment to one’s family. Its sign and house placement show us our wound and how we go about expressing it.
Chiron In Aries
Chiron stays in a zodiac sign for about 8 years. Chiron is presently transiting the zodiac sign of Aries. It entered Aries on the 18 th of February 2019 and would be transiting to the adjacent house of Taurus on the 14 th of April, 2027.
With Chiron in Aries, we are even more supported to find the strength, confidence, and courage that can arise when we come face to face with our wounds and look at them not as pain points but as points of potential. We are forced to face life as a headstrong Ram.
Chiron in Aries guides us to think that the wounds in our life are lessons to be learnt, ones that inspire and give us strength rather than brooding over the wounds and slowing ourselves.
