What Does Chiron Mean in Astrology?
Chiron represents the archetype of the Wounded Healer in astrology. It is linked to the deepest wound and how it changed you, but it also gives you hints how you can heal and integrate it, eventually helping others to ease their own pain.
Chiron was discovered only a few decades ago, in 1977, to be exact. After its discoverer, Charles Kowal, it’s sometimes referred to as Object Kowal. Chiron is located between Saturn and Uranus and it has a fairly long orbital period, around 50.4 years. This means it stays for years in the same zodiac sign (the exact time varies).
Chiron was named after a prominent centaur in Greek mythology. Chiron was widely known and respected as a healer and teacher. His wisdom, medical skills and erudition drew numerous students to him, including Heracles, who later became the cause of Chiron’s suffering: one of his arrows covered with poison accidentally shot Chiron. The wound was so dangerous that even Chiron’s healing talents were not enough. He was allowed by Zeus to give up his immortality so that his suffering could come to an end.
