Astrologically speaking, the planet Saturn is the force of discipline. Saturn defines your duties, responsibilities and the structure of your life. Saturn also represents the heavy hand of authority, fear, inhibitions, constrictions, restrictions, reservations, anxiety and limits imposed. It is a symbol for the force of gravity. Words like "must" and "can't" relate to Saturn.

Hard work and perseverance are also saturnian concepts and that's not all bad. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine."

Chapter 8A. Chiron in Your Chart

Discovered in 1977, Chiron is a relative newcomer to astrology. Named after the half-brother of the Greek god Zeus, Chiron is a comet from outside our solar system, according to the latest scientific findings. In Greek mythology, Chiron was tutored by the Sun and the Moon (Apollo and Artemis) and, in turn, taught the offspring of other gods.

Chiron taught special skills such as astrology, philosophy, ethics, music, medicine, horseback riding, and weaponry. These skills where thought necessary for gods, and humans, to achieve their destinies. The position of Chiron in your birth chart denotes what and where you may teach or be taught. It is also where you can be healed and how you can heal others.

A Centaur, who is part human, and part horse, Chiron is a half-breed. His higher self sometimes struggles with his own animal nature. What follows is a description of the "chironic" side of your character.

ASSERTIVE MENTORING

The key to your mind-body connection is your self image. You need to be a maverick. To optimize your health and maximize your energy, you need to act in accord with your true inner desires. You're the kind of person who can open new doorways to the subjective world. Put another way, you don't need to convince others of anything. You need to believe more in yourself. Once you accept yourself, the world will accept you. Increase your capacity for holistic understanding by learning from astrologers, herbalists and massage therapists. It is your fate to be something of a healer or mentor. You could even become a guru of sorts.

Imagine for a moment that you're Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame, Yoda the Jedi Knight or Helen Keller mentoring the blind. Give some sagacious thought to how your character is your destiny and how all observation is to some extent self observation.
