How to Use Chiron in Practice?

The house where Chiron falls in your chart indicates the life area where the wound is opened, while the sign shows the nature of the wound. The Chiron return (around age 50) is a critical time when these themes can be re-intensified and integrated with maturity. The important thing is: this wound is never a “flaw” — when approached correctly, it transforms into a gift where you can help others the most.
