You might assume that a planet named after a character in a modern work of fiction couldn’t possibly have any relevant astrological interpretation. You’d be wrong.

This Is About Chiron | Eric Francis Coppolino
Chiron, now included in a class of objects called centaur planets, has the distinction of being the first comet-like body studied closely by astrologers for how its cyclical properties and natal positions comment both on the life of an individual and on social movements. The November 2014 probe-landing on a comet opened the door to understanding more about objects like Chiron.

Advent: Chiron in Pisces | Eric Francis Coppolino
