What is your Chiron placement?
Knowing your Chiron placement, also known as the wounded healer, can help you understand how to overcome your deepest wounds.
While having to come face to face with your wounds and weaknesses may seem like a hard pass, knowing your Chiron placement can help unlock a superpower in you.
According to Greek mythology, Chiron was named after a Greek healer and philosopher who ironically wasn’t able to heal himself.
Additionally, Chiron is symbolized as a key to demonstrate unlocking your inner troubles.
How can I figure out my Chiron sign?
A simple way to figure out your Chiron sign is by seeing which zodiac sign the placement was located in when you were born.
You can use a Chiron sign calculator from astrological sites such as Astro Style.
Similar to your birth chart, you’ll just need to know your date of birth, time, and place of birth.
Chiron typically stays in one zodiac sign for eight years unless it enters Saturn’s orbit where it can go through a sign in under two years.
Because Chiron normally travels from zodiac to zodiac within eight years, it takes about 49 years to maneuver through all 12 zodiacs.

What is Chiron?
Chiron was first considered an asteroid when it was discovered in 1977.
However, as the years have gone, it is now considered a minor planet part of Centaur.
Chiron orbits between Saturn and Uranus which are complete oppositional planets in astrology.
According to Barbara Hand Clow’s book Astrology and the Rising of Kundalini, the author refers to Chiron as a “rainbow bridge” between the two planets.
