In modern astrology, Chiron is a minor planetary body whose position may be included in a natal chart as an additional interpretive factor. Named after the centaur Chiron of Greek mythology, it is commonly associated with themes involving vulnerability, healing, growth, mentorship, and the integration of difficult or sensitive experiences. Astrologers may consider Chiron’s zodiac sign, house placement, and aspects when exploring how these themes appear within the larger pattern of a natal chart. Its astrological meaning is symbolic and interpretive rather than predictive.
