Chiron and His Wound: They are One and the Same
The Chiron myth- short version:
- Chiron was a centaur, son of Saturn and the nymph Philyra, rejected by both parents.
- Chiron was a healer, astrologer, oracle, teacher, mentor, wise man- taught many famous heroes.
- During a scuffle, one of Chiron's students, Heracles, accidentally wounded his mentor, Chiron, with an arrow dipped in the poison blood of the Hydra which created a wound that couldn't be healed.
- Chiron, despite being a wise healer, couldn't heal his own wound.
- Later, Chiron agreed to give up his immortality and take Prometheus's place, chained to a rock. Eventually Chiron died and no longer suffered from his wound.

'I’ve had a lot of students come to me with questions about Chiron lately. I think it has a lot to do with Chiron and Neptune dancing together in Aquarius right now. We need a larger focus on how we can heal through connecting with others. But Chiron in synastry, one on one, can be very tricky to interpret. There is a lot of focus on the, by now infamous, Chironian incurable wound. The big question from students is always, “who is the wound-er and who is the wound-ee?”'

'Venus in the 12th house, Venus in Pisces, Venus-Neptune aspects and Neptune in the 7th house can manifest in similar ways, because Neptune, the 12th house, and Pisces are all related energies and because Venus rules the 7th house of relationships. (Neptune in Libra–a placement shared by a whole generation–can have some of these qualities as well if it’s strong in the chart.)'
- Chiron Cycles and Life’s Purpose -
'Many astrologers consider the Chiron Return a major astrological life cycle. The Chiron Return occurs when Chiron has made a complete orbit around the Sun and goes home to the position it held at an individual’s birth. The Chiron return is one of three major astrological life cycles. The cycles are, ages approximate: the Saturn Return at 30; the Uranus Opposition at 40; and the Chiron Return at 50. Chiron pioneer Barbara Hand Clow gives these three cycles the following key words: physical crisis (Saturn), emotional crisis (Uranus) and consciousness crisis (Chiron).'

- Lost – Found (The Early Rules of Horary Astrology on Missing and Stolen Objects) -
A horary chart for this kind of question can be constructed both for the moment we discover that an object is missing and for the time when an astrologer hears or reads the question posed to him. The simplest way to predicting whether the missing or stolen object will be found or retrieved is by delineating the luminaries. If in the chart of a question or an event the Moon in a nocturnal or the Sun in a diurnal chart closely aspect their rulers the object will be returned to its owner.
