Understanding Your Chiron Placement
In astrology, Chiron is known as the "Wounded Healer." Named after the centaur in Greek mythology who was a master of healing but could not heal himself, this asteroid represents our deepest spiritual wounds and our capacity to transform that pain into wisdom for others.
What the Chiron Calculator Tells You
This calculator identifies which zodiac sign Chiron was transiting at the time of your birth. Because Chiron has a highly elliptical orbit, it spends vastly different amounts of time in each sign—staying in Aries for nearly eight years, but passing through Libra in under two years.
The Chiron Return (Age 50)
The Chiron Return is a major astrological milestone occurring between the ages of 49 and 51. This is a time of profound "soul auditing" where the wounds of your youth are revisited, not to cause pain, but to facilitate a final integration and healing. Understanding your Chiron placement is crucial for navigating this transition.
Example Calculation:
If you were born on June 15, 1975:
Chiron Sign: Aries
Core Wound: Identity and the right to exist.
Chiron Return: Approximately 2025.
Healing Path: Developing courage and self-assertion without needing external validation.
Common Chiron Sign Interpretations
Chiron in Aries: Wounds related to identity, initiative, and the sense of self.
Chiron in Taurus: Wounds related to physical security, self-worth, and material stability.
Chiron in Gemini: Wounds regarding communication, intelligence, and being heard.
Chiron in Cancer: Wounds regarding home, nurturing, and emotional safety.
Chiron in Leo: Wounds related to creativity, being seen, and personal expression.
Chiron in Virgo: Wounds regarding perfectionism, health, and feelings of inadequacy.
