Chiron Through The Signs- Healing The Wounded Healer

Chiron is considered by many to be an asteroid or small planet that travels between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus. Although only discovered in 1977, Chiron has become a deeply embedded archetype in the collective mind.

Chiron was a centaur, a mythical creature that was a perfect blend of human reason and animal instinct. He was a great healer, but through an accidental wound was destined to live with his suffering. Chiron in the astrological chart shows where we have suffered but also where we can be a healing and mentoring influence for others.

When we truly understand the mythology of Chiron we also understand that our personal suffering is truly the grist for our role as the wounded healer. As we heal our wounds, who better to help those that have been wounded in the very same place?

The first step to undertaking the Chiron journey of the wounded healer is to know what sign your Chiron is in. Below I've indicated the dates and times that Chiron entered each sign (Pacific Daylight Time) that will include most readers.

Example: Chiron was in Cancer from 8/27/37 through 11/22/37, 5-28-1938 through 9/29/40, and 12-26-1940 through 6-16-1941.)

To find your Chiron interpretation, look for your birthdate in the chart below and once you've found the sign your Chiron is in read the interpretation that follows. Chiron goes retrograde (backwards) and has a very erratic orbit so he's not in each sign for the same amount of time.
