A planetoid discovered in 1977, believed to have originated from outside our solar system, Chiron travels between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus in a 49 year orbit (7x7). His emblem, the Centaur, represents holistic understanding. Chiron governs healing and relationships, but Chiron profoundly stands for the deep wounds we have brought into this life to be healed and so to enable us to heal others. "Astrologically, Chiron is a knowledge holder who transmits higher teachings either as an outer teacher (Saturn) or as an inner teacher or spirit guide (Uranus). Embodying the archetype of "the wounded healer", Chiron stresses the importance of going within to find a cura or answer - and then sharing it with others. In his two primary subjects of education and medicine, Chiron unites the body and mind, instinct and intellect. We see his ancient teachings now emerging through the recent advent of holistic health and education."
