Chiron has multiple definitions, including a celestial body and a figure from Greek mythology:

• Celestial body Chiron is a comet-like icy object that orbits between Saturn and Uranus. It was discovered in 1977 by American astronomer Charles Kowal and was originally classified as an asteroid, but is now considered a centaur. Chiron is about 125 miles in diameter and has an eccentric orbit that takes 50.45 years to complete. In astrology, Chiron is known as “the wounded healer” and is said to offer insights into mental health and trauma. The symbol for Chiron is ⚷, which is a key and a monogram of the letters “O” and “K”. The “O” and “K” stand for “Object Kowal”, which was a provisional name for the object before it was discovered.
• Greek mythological figure Chiron was an immortal centaur, half horse and half man, who lived in Greek mythology. The son of Cronus, a Titan, and Philyra, an Oceanid, Chiron, was known for his wisdom and knowledge of medicine, unlike other centaurs who were often violent. He is often depicted as the prototypical wounded healer after being poisoned and suffering great pain. This has led to the idea of the “Chiron effect”, which suggests that healers who have experienced trauma can use that experience to provide more effective healing. It’s empathy.

The pulse to the body in time for Chiron is to both shoulders and the whole neck. Everything in between those joints, all the tissue is asking to be aligned and healed by Chiron. This is doubly true since Aries rules the head, and Chiron is in Aries right now.
