Chiron return
Around age 50, Chiron comes back to where it was when you were born. An old hurt comes up again, and this time you have the means to look after it.
What it means
Chiron is the wound that teaches. Its place in your chart shows where you felt not good enough, and often where you later learned to help others with the same thing.
At the return that old theme comes back. For some people it is grief. For some it is a turn toward healing work. For many it is the year they finally say out loud what hurt, to the person it was about or to someone safe.
Who has it now
Active on Nov 6, 2026 if you were born Jun 1973 to Sep 1973 or Apr 1974 to May 1978 or Dec 1978 to Feb 1979. That is within 8°, the orb the app uses. Your birth time and year can move this by a day.

What does Chiron return mean for you?
The dates above come from your birthday alone. What the transit brings depends on the rest of your chart: the house Chiron crosses and the planets it touches on the way. Solstice reads them with your birth time and place, and talks with you about it while it lasts.
