Chiron Revisited
Looking at the critical Chiron periods that come up at its square, opposition, and return
Because Chiron is changing signs in two weeks from now, on June 19, I want to revisit this chart placement today by talking about its transit and the various phases of Chiron you will experience over time. For long time readers of this newsletter, you may remember that I put out a newsletter on Chiron and what it says about your healing journey back in 2023. That article breaks down Chiron in your natal chart by sign and house placement, so it could actually be helpful to reference that as we explore the various transits of Chiron below.
For some background information, Chiron is an asteroid, which is symbolized by the K shaped symbol in your birth chart. Based on where it falls in your chart signifies an area in which you may feel like you’re lacking, or this part of your life may be a source of emotional pain for you. Maybe you feel like you didn’t completely fit in in that area when you were younger, and you could still carry those insecurities with you today as an adult. Chiron signifies what you need to heal and learn how to open up about more. By not shying away from what this placement represents, you’re able to more deeply connect with people who may have gone through something similar.
As Chiron transits through your chart, making its way through the various signs and houses, it brings this energy of needing to heal and overcome certain fears to a specific area for several years at a time. Chiron has been transiting through Aries since 2018/2019, so you can identify that Aries ruled house in your chart and look at how you may have faced more difficult situations there over the last few years, but how ultimately you may have learned how to build greater confidence in the skills you bring to this part of your life. For instance, I have had Chiron transiting my Aries 9th house, and I’ve become more comfortable sharing through public speaking, writing, and teaching. Before this transit, public speaking and long form writing were areas that felt intimidating, but now eight years later, I’m fine with it.
Chiron is now shifting into Taurus and therefore the next house over in your chart from June 19 - September 17, 2026, and then again from April 14, 2027 until 2034. So over the next three months, you’ll start to see how a new 7- 8 year chapter of your life is being set up for you to heal any feelings of not being good enough and address specific fears you may have in the Taurus ruled house of your chart.
For more basic information on Chiron, you can listen to my podcast episode that just came out today. In the rest of this newsletter, I really want to focus on Chiron making aspects to your natal Chiron placement in your chart, looking at the Chiron squares, the opposition, and then the eventual Chiron return. For more insight into your natal Chiron placement, again I encourage you to revisit my past newsletter on this topic and keep those themes in mind as we go through the below.
I was recently revisiting the book Astrological Time by Brian Clark, and this table he inserted in the book got me thinking about how harder, healing type periods in life, which are very much a Chiron theme, come at different ages for everyone.
