Your Chiron Return in Psychic Astrology
If you are 49-51 you are experiencing (or will experience) your Chiron Return. This is as important as the Jupiter Return or Saturn Return in astrology. Using the Tarot and Oracles on my website it is also possible to use your sixth sense to find out how your Chiron Return affects you.
Chiron himself, is having a return, on 1st November 2027, as he was discovered on that day back in 1977.
He was found by an outsider astronomer, Charlie Kowal, in a year that was big for outsider scientists (test tube babies) and musicians (punk rockers). That tells you the first thing you need to know about this centaur.
He shows a side of you which is experimental, fearless, challenging and certainly outside the norm.
Chiron was a centaur who taught healing (although he failed to heal himself). He primarily taught music, as the majority of important art and sculpture about him shows. He also taught archery and hunting.
Your Chiron Sign
Your Chiron sign and house reveals where you push the boundaries and hit so-called impossible targets.
So, for example, if you have Chiron in Taurus and are having your Chiron Return soon (he will be back in Taurus in 2026, 2027) you push the envelope with money, business, charity, shopping, real estate, selling.
Even if you’re not having your Chiron Return, using this centaur in your birth chart can still help you get away with the so-called impossible. Chiron expert Zane Stein calls him a maverick. Dennis Elwell called him a heretic and gadfly. All of this is correct.
He’s Not a Wounded Healer
Chiron did not receive a wound and then heal people. He was a healing educator who was wounded, failed to cure himself, and then asked for mercy. He was turned into a constellation. You’ll commonly see people on the internet claiming Chiron is ‘a wounded healer’ but there is nothing in the art or the original mythology to show he ever received a wound, then started playing doctor, nurse, surgeon or therapist. Far from it. It was the end for him!
Your Chiron Sign Explained
Chiron in Aries – You experiment with your image, brand ,reputation, name, title, appearance. You use the mirror or the mirror of the internet to discover how the rules of the game might change. You do this all your life but begin as a teenager.
Chiron in Taurus – As explained in more detail, below, you have a confronting, challenging approach to money and real estate, shopping and selling, charity and business. More traditional or conservative types dislike your success but it works.
Chiron in Gemini – You are the internet and media maverick who will stretch your bow and arrow very wide indeed to hit an apparently impossible target. It’s rather like the Sex Pistols being number one when one of them couldn’t play very well.
Chiron in Cancer – Your home and family, town and country, household and garden are all fair game for your more risk-taking, adventurous side. Whatever you are not supposed to do, you will attempt. You can always spot a Chiron in Cancer home.
Chiron in Leo – The bedroom, dating, babies, children, teenagers and younger people as a whole are where you have a go at what others have never considered. If it is beyond the pale on some level, you will try. Sexually you are a total maverick.
Chiron in Virgo – You use the arena of your workload and wellbeing to gallop around, hitting targets that have never been attempted before. You are a living example of what an outsider can do, no matter if it’s health, your job or academia.
Chiron in Libra – Partnerships of all kinds, including marriage or work duets, attract your interest in the unacceptable, the outrageous, the apparently ‘impossible’ and the confronting. Traditionalists can’t deal with it. Partners are tolerant or wild, too.
Chiron in Scorpio – Financial and sexual relationships (like marriage and mortgage) but also family-based property agreements (like a will or trust fund) appeal to you as living laboratory experiments where you can test, trial and try almost anything.
Chiron in Sagittarius – Foreigners and foreign countries bring out your inner centaur. Chiron was a teacher so you may be a formal or informal educator, guiding or mentoring others. If you’re not supposed to do something, you tend to do it.
Chiron in Capricorn – Your career, status and success suggests several daring experiments to find out where the line is drawn. You gallop across those lines all the time and invent new boundaries. You draw strong reactions from conservatives.
Chiron in Aquarius – Groups and friends are a natural home for your punk rock spirit and in fact, many Chiron in Aquarius people end up in bands, or becoming fans of outsider bands. The groups can be social media too. You won’t want ‘normal’ here.
Chiron in Pisces – Religion, the Tarot, oracles, mediums, psychics, spirituality, dreams, angels, auras, chakras, meditation and therapy all attract you as areas of discovery, invention and often – confrontation with those who are old-fashioned.
Your Chiron Return Explained
If you are experiencing a Chiron Return in Taurus then it’s your turn to aim, shoot and fire at apparently impossible financial targets.
You may not always succeed, so buyer beware. Yet when you do, you will change the parameters of what is possible for yourself and other people.
Punk rock changed the parameters of the music industry in 1977 when Chiron was found. Basically, Chiron is your inner Ramone, Sex Pistol or Banshee. You are not supposed to get away with your wild experiment (centaurs were wild creatures) but you do. And you change things for yourself and others. It may be bartering, cryptocurrency, clever accounting, tax reform and so on.
I took this photograph of Chiron in Melbourne, which you see above. Here he is outside a major finance corporation. This is where you’re headed from 2026 onwards.
Do You Have Chiron in Aries?
You recently had your Chiron Return, or if Chiron is at the late degrees of the sign, will be about to do so. You may have experimented with your identity, any government ID, your face, hair, shape, style and so on – to see what you can get away with.
Perhaps you pretended to be something you are not (like a man claiming to be a woman) or maybe you just tried pink hair dye. I quite like this Rubens painting of Chiron teaching Achilles on his back. Traditionally, Roman teachers (and our modern astrology is Roman) were on foot, and in a toga. Not half man half horse. Chiron is always outrageous on some level. So are you, by Chiron sign and house.
Okay or Not Okay?
The Chiron symbol is OK, the abbreviation of Object Kowal, which is what this peculiar space rock was called when Charles Kowal found it.
As always in astrology, look to astronomy to tell you the meaning of a symbol in the horoscope.
Chiron asks us ‘Is this okay or not okay?’ In 1977 he famous arrived for the first time to challenge our ideas about babies and birth.
In 1978 the world’s first test tube baby was born (Louise Brown) after being conceived in lab conditions the year before, as Chiron arrived.
Chiron, Medicine and Surgery
Chiron did teach medicine as the ancients knew it. That part is true. He was an expert in herbal medicine. In fact some species of remedian plants are named for the old centaur.
He was just as much a music teacher, however. And he taught Achilles the lyre, but also a lesson about accepting the unacceptable.
In his case it was an educator who was half man, half horse. Wherever Chiron is in your chart, you take on the doubters, cynics, sceptics and even the critics and have a go anyway. Sooner or later it works, and everything changes!
Chiron and the KO Knockout Punch
Another way to think about Chiron is the OK symbol reversed. A KO punch in boxing is the knockout.
I like this too, because it reminds us that Chiron taught the art of war to his pupils. Nothing to do with therapy, counselling, psychiatry or psychology! Chiron was a muscular centaur and was as much about the fight, as he was about music.
Your Chiron sign and house shows where you flatten the opposition, sooner or later. You may not do it consistently, but eventually history will show you were right to try.
