Chiron in each sign
- ♈︎ Chiron in Aries
- A tender spot around simply existing and asserting yourself: doubting your right to take up space. Healing comes through acting before you feel ready and helping others find their courage.
- ♉︎ Chiron in Taurus
- A wound around security, the body or self-worth — feeling that comfort or money could vanish. Healing comes through building steadiness slowly and teaching others to trust their own value.
- ♊︎ Chiron in Gemini
- A sore point around being heard or feeling clever enough: fear of saying the wrong thing. Healing comes through finding your own voice and helping others put hard things into words.
- ♋︎ Chiron in Cancer
- A wound around belonging, family or being cared for. Healing comes through becoming the safe place you needed and offering others the nurture that was missing.

- A tender spot around being seen, praised or loved for who you are. Healing comes through creative self-expression and encouraging others to shine without apology.
- ♍︎ Chiron in Virgo
- A wound around being useful, healthy or good enough, often felt as perfectionism. Healing comes through accepting imperfection and turning practical skill into care for others.

Frequently asked questions
What is Chiron in astrology?
Chiron is a small icy body orbiting between Saturn and Uranus, discovered in 1977. Astrologers named it after the wounded healer of Greek myth and read its sign and house as a lasting sore spot that can become a source of wisdom and of help to others.
Do I need my birth time for Chiron?
Not for the sign. Chiron moves at most about 0.1° a day, so your birth date gives the sign and degree. A birth time adds the house, which many astrologers consider the most telling part.
How long does Chiron stay in a sign?
Between about 1.5 and 9 years. Chiron’s orbit is very elongated: it races through Virgo and Libra, where it is closest to the Sun, and lingers for years in Pisces and Aries.
When is the Chiron return?
Around age 50, when Chiron completes its 50-year orbit and returns to its birth position. This calculator gives the exact dates; retrograde loops can make the return exact up to three times within a year.
Where is Chiron now?
Chiron is at 28°20′ Aries, retrograde, as of October 26, 2026.
How accurate is this Chiron position?
We use NASA JPL Horizons’ ephemeris of 2060 Chiron, sampled every 5 days from 1900 to 2100 and interpolated; spot checks against Horizons agree within a fraction of an arcsecond. Astronomy Engine, which we use for the planets, does not include Chiron.
Astrology is a symbolic and cultural tradition. The planetary positions on this site are calculated with astronomical accuracy; the interpretations describe what astrologers associate with them and are not scientifically validated predictions about personality, relationships or the future.
