Chiron, the small body astrologers associate with old wounds and the skills they teach, appears to slow and reverse in Taurus this year. It stations retrograde on 16 August 2029 at 12°40' Taurus and stations direct on 17 January 2030 at 7°54' Taurus, a span of 154 days spent entirely within the sign. The shadow period runs from 23 April 2029 to 8 May 2030.
The tradition treats Taurus as the sign of the body, the senses, material security and steady self-worth. Astrologers read Chiron's retrograde here as a season for revisiting tender spots around comfort, possessions or self-value, less to fix them quickly than to understand them. One modest practice is to notice what makes you feel safe, and to ask whether it still does.
