Chiron Return occurs around age 46 – 53 and is another sort of midlife crisis cycle.  Chiron is referred to as the wounded healer.  It is mastery over the wounds we carry, and through that process we help to heal others, because we become experts in that area. Once we go through this process, we can discover that choices we made through our wounded self isn’t working for us anymore, because ‘hopefully’ we’ve healed.  These can be career choices or partnerships; it depends on where it is in your chart. You can discover your calling, because you let go of the fear and feelings of inadequacy that were holding you back. You can become more integrated and find your own power. An example of this is the caretaker who was always serving and caring for others at the expense of their own self-care.  They finally say ‘enough’ and start saying no to others dumping on them.  They can also get a burst of health consciousness and want to change bad habits.
