Natal significance: The apocryphal planet Chiron, which some believe to be the true ruler of the mysterious sign Virgo, is itself an enigmatic force which, when activated, can unlock the key to issues which have been lurking deep within your psyche. Chiron is known as the "wounded healer;" learning to deal with the Chiron energy in your chart can help you get in touch with past pain and to turn the process of healing into positive growth and strength. As evidenced by its orbit between Saturn and Uranus, Chiron can be a bridge between using what had previously been holding you back to make you stronger and moving on to a progressive, enlightened way of being you could never previously have imagined.
Transiting significance: A Chiron transit is not unlike the opening of an old wound, but if you are receptive to the process of overcoming denial, letting go of your bitterness and learning from the experience, this action can have a healing, cleansing effect.
