What Does Chiron Mean in Astrology?
Chiron is not a planet, yet it’s considered quite important in astrology. It represents the archetype of the wounded healer. In the birth chart, this centaur shows where and how you were wounded (it’s mostly associated with karmic wounds). However, it also guides you on your journey of self-integration and healing. Chiron encourages you to accept your wounds. The wound it represents tends to be irreversible in the sense that it takes up so much space that it stays a part of who you are, but even if the scar stays there, the pain can be healed.
Chiron got its name after the famous centaur in Greek mythology who has the same name. Chiron was famous and well-respected for his erudition and his knowledge of the healing arts. However, when one day he was wounded by the shot of an arrow, he was unable to heal himself. The pain he had to endure was so excruciating that he asked Zeus for permission to give up his immortality and chose death in the end.
Chiron was discovered in 1977. Its orbital period is 50.4 years. This celestial object takes place between Saturn and Uranus, but its orbit is very elliptical. This also causes it to spend different amounts of time in different zodiac signs. It goes retrograde for approximately 5-6 months (the exact period depends).
The Tenth House in Astrology
The tenth house is very important in the chart wheel. Its cusp is the Midheaven or Medium Coeli (MC), one of the most important points in the birth chart. It is the highest point of the birth chart, hence the most visible one. The zodiac sign associated with the 10th house is Capricorn.
As an angular house, its matters materialize in the physical world: this house speaks about your profession, career, greatest accomplishments, your legacy. This house is how the world perceives you (which is different from how people who personally know you perceive you). It describes your public image and reputation too.
Besides that, it also governs one of the parents. The 10th house is the house of authority figures, your relationship to authority, you as an authority figure and your leadership style.
