Is there a part of your life that always feels unhealed, no matter how much effort you put into healing it? Do you struggle with certain aspects of life while others seem to navigate them with ease? If so, then Chiron, a tiny, icy comet in our solar system, may hold the key to understanding and healing your unresolved wounds.
Chiron’s orbit is unique and mysterious. It moves between Saturn, the planet that keeps us tied to the past, and Uranus, the planet that propels us into the future. This comet spends varying amounts of time in each zodiac sign, with its longest stays in the last house of the zodiac, Pisces, and the first house, Aries.
But what does Chiron have to do with our wounds? Well, according to Greek mythology, Chiron was known as the “Wounded Healer.” He was a great teacher and healer who tragically couldn’t heal his own wounds. In each of us, Chiron holds the same lessons. Symbolized by a key, Chiron unlocks the path to healing our self-esteem and embracing our worth.
Chiron’s impact on our lives is profound. It takes approximately 49 years for Chiron to return to the same position it was in when we were born. This period, known as the Chiron Return, happens between our 49th and 51st year. During this time, we have the opportunity to unlock the wisdom of Chiron within ourselves. The healing process, however, depends on our level of consciousness and the work we have done to heal our wounds. By the time Chiron returns, we should have witnessed the healing of our wounds and gained greater self-awareness. While old wounds may resurface during this time, our consciousness and the work we’ve done will be evident to ourselves and those around us.
If you’ve already passed the age of 50 and missed your Chiron Return, don’t worry. It’s never too late to uncover wisdom. The wounded healer within you can still be unlocked as long as you’re willing to let go of the past and embrace healing.
Chiron’s impact extends beyond age, affecting all aspects of our health – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Knowing where Chiron is placed in your natal chart can provide valuable insights into where your healing needs to be focused.
It’s important to note that Chiron doesn’t only refer to wounds from this lifetime. If you believe in past lives, Chiron may also carry past life healing that needs attention. You don’t have to dig into your past lives to heal, but if you seek a deeper understanding, past life readings can offer insights into your soul’s journey.
To fully harness the power of Chiron, understanding its placement in your birth chart is essential. Below are the dates of Chiron’s placements in each zodiac sign. If you were born on the exact day that Chiron transits to the next sign, make sure to confirm the specific sign using your birth chart.

To delve deeper into the impact Chiron has on your birth placement, you’ll need your natal chart to identify the house Chiron was in at the time of your birth. This will help you understand how the wounds associated with that sign affect your life. For example, if Chiron is in Taurus in your 10th house, you would read both Taurus in Chiron and the 10th house to gain insights into how this wound impacts your life.
If you were born during a Chiron Retrograde, there’s an interesting twist. You may find yourself more attuned to other people’s wounds than your own. This placement indicates the additional work needed to turn inward and address your own wounds. During Chiron Retrograde, it’s an ideal time to engage in personal shadow work and gain a deeper understanding of your own wounds.
Now that you have a clearer understanding of Chiron and its impact, you can see why it’s important to focus on healing these wounds. Chiron’s return to Aries in 2019 marks a significant period for healing. This long stay in Aries until June 2026 presents a valuable opportunity for deep healing and transformation.
During this time, we have the chance to shed the suffering that has burdened us and embrace a life of fulfillment and joy. The wounds we carry may stem from past experiences, but with awareness and conscious effort, we can heal and let go of the pain. Chiron’s presence in Aries urges us to fight for our right to be ourselves, to express our true identity in the world.
Chiron’s impact extends beyond personal healing. It also influences collective healing and medical breakthroughs. It’s no coincidence that Chiron entered Aries in 2019, the same year the world was impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. As we heal our individual wounds, we contribute to the collective healing and create a more compassionate world.
