Wounded healer Chiron slips into its annual retrograde on July 26, backing up through self-aware Aries until December 29. Feeling silenced, thwarted or resentful? Your Chiron retrograde in Aries horoscope can help.
Transformative comet Chiron is teaching us all a lesson in self-empowerment and the constructive use of anger while it travels through Aries (2018-2027).
The annual retrograde period (July 26 to December 29, 2024), provides an important window for introspection.
Are you using the power of your voice to dominate others? If you’ve been playing a game of “the person who speaks the loudest wins,” switch your strategy to active listening, with the goal to understand rather than to respond.
For those who feel perpetually talked over, the Chiron retrograde in Aries gets you closer to the core of any confidence issues that stand in the way of your self-expression.
Chiron holds the ‘key’ to helping you go deep
Chiron’s role in astrology is pretty profound. As “the wounded healer,” its job is to reveal our personal and collective pain and guide us toward a high-vibe transformation.
You may not have heard much about the comet Chiron—or an asteroid, comet or planetoid, depending on which astronomer you talk to. This heavenly body makes a flower-shaped orbit between Saturn and Uranus, taking 49-50 years to move through all 12 zodiac signs.
Since its mission is to unlock a solution for transcendent healing, Chiron’s symbol, fittingly, is a key. There’s no denial allowed here: We must address the wound to dressthe wound. And yet, Chiron can make the wound far more visceral in order for us to heal it.
Chiron orbits between two intensely oppositional planets:• uptight, restrictive Saturn• and liberated, revolutionary Uranus

Chiron retrograde in Aries makes transformation an inside job
Looking within can be hard, but it’s worth it!
Chiron may hold the key to your alchemical gifts, but to access them, you must turn inward and push past your own stumbling blocks.
Chiron’s backspin is an optimal time to recover from any personal power outages that may be stopping you from sticking up for your beliefs. The Chiron retrograde can help us all uncover soulful strategies for the battle.
Chiron in Aries (2018-2027), is bringing issues of anger management, leadership and personal power to the world stage. And it’s been nonstop. This ongoing cycle has brought worldwide conflicts from the Russia-Ukraine war to Israel and Gaza, along with civil wars in Haiti and Sudan.
Since Chiron moved into Aries, sweeping social justice movements have emerged to right the wrongs of inequality across race, gender and sexuality. Yet, true to the firebrand energy of Aries, many have been as polarizing as they have been revolutionary.
On a personal level
Chiron in Aries reveals where fear of conflict is keeping you stuck in self-destructive patterns. Conversations about generational trauma, healthy boundaries, attachment styles and other personal psychology have swept through the zeitgeist.
Simultaneously, you may be processing family trauma along with anger and grief you never fully metabolized. Pull back from triggering situations as needed. The Chiron retrograde in Aries is a great time to do deep work with professional practitioners, both traditional and mystical.
This passage forces us to introspect, study our own boundaries and responses to the triggering stimuli. Yes, there’s a time to fight for our rights—but is there a way to do so that doesn’t involve domination, violence, one-upping and power-mongering? That’s something we’re all still figuring out during this Chiron-in-Aries cycle.
Once the Chiron retrograde in Aries ends and the healing comet resumes forward motion (on December 29), we will hopefully have gained the confidence to make any necessary changes to our inner and outer worlds.
