Michael Lutin on Chiron

Where Chiron transits, you feel like an outsider, and even though people think you have it totally together in that area, and are on top of every situation, YOU yourself feel as if you are falling apart. Even while you privately can feel like a loser, you have tremendous knowledge and wisdom to impart, and often powers to soothe others, allay their fears, make their lives better, reduce their pain and even heal them. You become a teacher in the area in which you feel the weakest. Even if you feel like the geek of all time, tthe one nobody cares deeply about, in your geekiness you have powers other people do not have. Chiron, therefore, rules your greatest ironic twist.

It represents the pain that precedes a great transformation – like childbirth or the preparation for death. It puts you on the brink of experience and requires your periodic retreat from the world while you regain your strength, lick your wounds, and prepare to come back stronger, older, wiser and with more compassion for those less fortunate than you. .
