Chiron loops back across sign boundaries, so births near the edges of a span may have Chiron in the neighboring sign. The calculator above settles it for your date.
What a Chiron Return Is
Chiron is a small body that orbits between Saturn and Uranus in about 50.7 years. Its return to its birth position comes between ages 49 and 51 for everyone born in the last two centuries.
In astrology Chiron describes a lasting sensitivity, the place where we were hurt and where, over time, we learn to tend ourselves and others. Its return completes that long relationship once. People often find it a time to meet an old ache with more gentleness, and to notice how much of their care for others grew from it.
Why Chiron's Speed Varies So Much
Chiron's orbit is strongly elongated. Near the Sun it crosses Libra and Virgo in under two years; far from it, it spends about eight years in Aries and Pisces. The return itself always comes near 50, because a full orbit takes the same time wherever it starts, but how long Chiron lingers in your sign depends on which sign it is.
Questions for Your Chiron Return
What has your oldest hurt taught you about other people? Where have you become the companion you once needed? Chiron's return asks for acceptance: a quieter relationship with what cannot be undone, and with the wisdom it left.
How This Calculator Works
Without a birth time, Chiron is placed where it stood at noon on your birth date. Chiron moves at most about nine arcminutes a day, so the dates usually move by a day or two. The calculator recalculates for the first and last minute of your birth day and tells you how far the dates can move.
Chiron's position comes from Swiss Ephemeris tables covering 1801 to 2199, interpolated to within a twentieth of an arcminute.
Positions come from the engine behind every Selfgazer chart: VSOP87 planetary theory through Astronomy Engine, with Chiron from Swiss Ephemeris tables. Against the Swiss Ephemeris the planets agree to within half an arcminute. Each pass is found by scanning the planet's path and narrowing every crossing of your natal degree to the minute, with a finer scan around each station so a brief touch before the planet turns is not missed. Your birth time is converted with your birthplace's historical time zone rules.
