What is Chiron in astrology?

Chiron is an asteroid between Saturn and Uranus. In mythology, Chiron was an immortal healer wounded by a poisoned arrow—hence "wounded healer" archetype.

How does Chiron differ from other planets?

Chiron is smaller and its orbit is unusual, making it a bridge between personal and outer planets. It reveals trauma but also profound healing potential.

Can Chiron placement show my past trauma?

Yes and no. Chiron shows patterns of pain and healing, but astrology doesn't reveal specific traumas—only themes. Therapy is needed for understanding specific wounds.

Is Chiron healing automatic or requires work?

Chiron requires conscious effort. The wound remains, but by integrating Chiron's pain, you develop the ability to help others heal similar wounds.
