Now that it's an established part of our solar system, Chiron is used by some astrologers to pinpoint the wound you carry with you throughout your life, which is possible to heal and draw from - to help others. And that ironic symbolism is now at the core of how the comet is now interpreted and used in astrology. Upon its discovery, Chiron was named for the centaur in Greek mythology who, despite being a healer to others, could not heal himself, notes CafeAstrology. (Case in point: My dad, who was my first mentor, began studying astrology in 1969, almost a decade before the comet was noted by Kowal, and therefore, it didn't come up at all during my own introduction to astrology.) So astrologers who've been studying for decades - or whose mentor was soaking up their own core knowledge pre-Chiron - might opt not use it in their chart or predictive readings. There's a reason you might do a reading with a pro astrologer or read your horoscope all the time and still never come across a mention of Chiron: The comet, which sits between Saturn and Uranus, was only just discovered by American astronomer Charles Kowal in 1977.
