Chiron in Astrology
The Wounded Healer
Chiron is the Wounded Healer. In myth, he was an immortal centaur who could heal everyone but himself. In your chart, he shows where you are broken, and how that break creates a bridge to the divine.

The Bridge
Chiron is a comet/asteroid that orbits between Saturn (Reality) and Uranus (Awakening). It acts as a bridge between the physical and the spiritual. It represents a primal wound—something that feels unfair, incurable, and deeply painful.
The Gift: The magic of Chiron is that by accepting our wound, we develop compassion and wisdom to heal others. A person with Chiron in the 3rd House (communication wound) often becomes a brilliant speech therapist or writer.
The Maverick: Chiron was a centaur—half man, half horse. He didn't fit in. Chiron in the chart shows where we feel like an outsider or a "maverick" who does things differently.
