Stop making sacrifices and stand up for yourself! A confidence boost arrives to aid in that effort when the Chiron retrograde ends on December 29. The healing comet rockets forward in self-sufficient Aries ending a retrograde that started on July 26.
Have you been holding in your honest feelings? It’ll be easier to speak your truth when healing comet Chiron rockets forward in courageous Aries this December 29.
Warning: the fiery Ram’s energy in known to be temperamental. While Chiron wheeled backwards through Aries since late July, passive-aggressive barbs and sneering put-downs may have been people’s best defense. As the “wounded healer” asteroid resumes forward motion, find the fine line between assertiveness and aggression. Regulate your emotions, even if you are righteously pissed off. If you want to have a productive conversation, unleashing a surge of suppressed resentment won’t serve your goal.
Chiron also has incredible healing powers. Unlock its KEY potential (the Chiron symbol is a key, after all!) and turn anger into purpose and passion. Acknowledging that you are upset is important, so we’re not suggesting you sweep authentic rage under the rug. But find a healthy outlet to “off-gas” that steam. Do a vigorous workout. Find a safe sounding board like a mentor or therapist. Once your temper has cooled, you’ll be able to deal proactively.
The good news is that on the day after Chiron retrograde ends, a Capricorn new moon (the second new moon of the month!) arrives in the ambitious sign. This final moon of the year in a driven sign means we all get a burst of energy to crush EOY goals and start drafting ones for 2025.
Under this lunation, efficiency is the name of the game, and guess what isn’t? Wearing struggle like a merit badge. Advocate for what you need (to delegate? outsource?) to get the job done and enjoy the rest of the holiday season. You got this.

Since then, you’ve had the somewhat painful opportunity to figure out which “wounds” (emotional and otherwise) could use some dressing. Keep doing the work, Aries, because it’s paying off.

Taurus (April 19-May 20)
December 29’s stars sound the call for forgiveness. Is hanging on to that grudge worth all the effort it takes to keep it alive? As Chiron, the “wounded healer,” ends its annual retrograde, you’ll remember that when you forgive, liberation follows. It’s been long enough, Bull. Besides, we’re not saying to get swept up in the drama again. You may want to help others change, but if they’re not on-board with self-improvement, either accept them as they are or move on. Sometimes, inner peace only comes with surrender.

Gemini (May 20-June 20)
“Healer-feeler” Chiron wakes up from a five-month retrograde on December 29. Since July 26, you may have felt like you were on the outside looking in. But now you’ll realize that perspective is everything—even when it comes to “belonging.” Unless your name is Glinda, being popular isn’t the be-all and end-all of life. Besides, by focusing on status, you lose sight of your authentic needs. Your efforts are much better spent seeking out like minds and forging sincere friendships that can go the distance.

The truth can be a big pill to swallow on December 29, but wash it down anyway. Not long ago, a caring soul may have come down hard on you, holding you accountable for your choices.

As galactic guru Chiron resumes direct motion (after being retrograde since July 26), set aside your pride and be brave enough to look within. Once you do, you may even be inspired to thank your tough-love messenger for taking a stand for you!

Do you think someone is keeping a secret from you? Instead of sneaking around like a private investigator, start inquiring directly (yet strategically and diplomatically).

Libra (September 23-October 22)
An important relationship begins to heal starting December 29, as Chiron, the celestial soothsayer, turns direct and gives you a high-vibe perspective on this lingering conflict.

Ready to shake off the sluggishness of holiday hedonism?

Check out a mantra-based cardio class or a yoga class that ends with a gong meditation. An ounce of preventative medicine is worth a pound of cure. Fend off future aches and pains with some body-loving treatments like an acupuncture session, lymphatic massage or immune-boosting natural tinctures.

Sagittarius (November 21-December 21)
December 29 offers a chance to get in touch with your true feelings, as “healer-feeler” Chiron wakes up from a five-month retrograde.

These behaviors stem from an old hurt, but they don’t have to inform your future. Find a book, a TED talk or an influencer who is an expert on the subject, like therapist Terri Cole, the author of “Too Much.” When the Chiron retrograde ends, it may be time to book an actual appointment to someone who can help you heal these wounds.

Stop pushing yourself and make stress reduction as high a priority as finishing the work!

When Is The Next Chiron Retrograde?
The next Chiron retrograde is July 26 to December 29, 2024. The 2024 Chiron retrograde is in Aries again, where the comet has been traveling on a 9-year journey that began in 2018 and ends in 2027.
The next Chiron retrograde is July 30, 2025 to January 2, 2026.
What Happens When Chiron Is Retrograde In Aries?
When Chiron is retrograde in warrior sign Aries, our collective wound around themes of rage, violence and personal responsibility becomes more inflamed. This timeout brings a chance to look deep within and gain greater emotional regulation. Our healing gifts emerge as we do our inner work.
While in Aries, the comet teaches us all lessons in self-empowerment and the constructive use of anger. 2024 gave us no shortage of important causes to stand up and fight for, and Chiron’s backspin helps us uncover soulful strategies for the battle. The 2024 Chiron retrograde was an optimal time to recover from any personal power outages that may be stopping you from sticking up for your beliefs; we hope you made some gains.
Remember: Chiron isn’t a planet
Chiron is not a planet, but in recent years this comet’s been called everything from an asteroid to a planetoid.
Known as “the wounded healer,” Chiron’s symbol is a key because it unlocks the power that we derive from pushing through pain. Chiron holds the key to your alchemical gifts, but to access them, you must turn inward and push past your own stumbling blocks.
How Many Years Is Chiron in Aries?
Chiron generally stays in a single zodiac sign for eight years. Chiron in Aries began in 2018 and ends in 2027 with the following Chiron retrograde dates:
2018: July 5 to December 9
2019: July 8 to December 13
2020: July 11 to December 15
2021: July 15 to December 19
2022: July 19 to December 23
2023: July 23 to December 26
2024: July 26 to December 29
2025: July 30 to January 2, 2026
Chiron enters Taurus on July 20, 2026, until 2033.
Want More? Do You Know Your Chiron Sign?
The reason Chiron’s symbol is the key is because it unlocks our healing gifts by taking us through our own transformational process. So look to your Chiron sign to find those!
Are you in your Chiron return?
Since Chiron takes approximately 49 years to journey through all 12 zodiac signs, we all go through a “Chiron return” near our 50th birthdays.
At this point in our lives, our core wounds may surface for another round of therapy, especially if we’ve resisted doing any deeper self-examination. So between ages 49-51, the Chiron return (when Chiron returns to the sign it was in when you were born) will certainly insist upon soul searching.
You’ll need your birth date and time to calculate your Chiron sign. You may also do a free birth chart if you want to see all your planet placements.
