Chiron is named for a centaur in Greek mythology who was a powerful healer and teacher but could not heal himself. Because Chiron is a sign of healing, the wounds and fears it depicts aren’t only your weak points. If you master those fears, you can be a guide for others and help them do the same.
If your Chiron sign is in Capricorn, then the asteroid falls in the sign of Capricorn on your natal chart.
Chiron in Capricorn typically desires structure in their lives and works to plan out every aspect of life because they see it as the best route to achieving their goals. Many people who fall under Chiron in Capricorn struggle with control, becoming overly controlling of the people around them or letting themselves be controlled in the name of success.
Capricorn is the most ambitious zodiac sign. That’s why Chiron in Capricorn’s fear of failure is so great—they dread being unable to fulfill their many ambitions.
Regardless of whether this leads to underachievement or overachievement, Chiron in Capricorn people tend to feel like failures—even when they aren’t.
But Chiron in Capricorn won’t be satisfied by empty compliments; they want recognition for the meaningful things they do, especially regarding their career and personal accomplishments.
Rather than relying on others for validation, practice self-affirmations that give you strength. Block out negative thoughts and try to express your feelings rather than bottle them up. Work on appreciating your accomplishments and celebrating failures as valuable lessons rather than setbacks.
Don’t let fear of judgment or failure stop you from doing something you really want to do. Do you want to learn painting but wonder what other people will think of your work? Don’t worry. You’re doing this for you—not them. Life is too short to spend living for other people! Chiron in Capricorn is bright, hardworking, and capable. You can do anything you set your mind to, and you don’t need anyone else to tell you what that should be.
Since Chiron in Capricorn is the wound of recognition and achievement, their greatest wounds arise when these achievements aren’t acknowledged. Do you dream of praise and recognition but feel like you never seem to get it? Or do you ever feel invisible, like you’re fading into the background? That could be your Chiron wound.
For example, you might have an ancestor who was ostracized by their village (or even killed) for being a misfit. Due to the impact of that experience in your past life, the underlying need for acceptance might pass to you.
