What it is
Your Chiron in Leo
What Chiron in Leo actually means
Chiron is a small body between Saturn and Uranus with a lopsided fifty-year orbit, so it spends anywhere from two to eight years in a sign. It was in Leo about 1991 to 1993 and again 2039 to 2041. In a chart it marks the wound that does not quite heal and the skill that grows around it: the place you help others with precisely because you could not fix it in yourself.
The Leo wound is about recognition: an early experience of being overlooked, shamed for shining, or praised only for performing. It leaves a person who gives others the spotlight and flinches from it.
