In astrology Chiron is read as the wounded healer, pointing to old hurts and the knowledge that grows from them. Aries is the sign of the self, courage and first impulses, so the tradition connects this retrograde with questions of confidence and the right to take up space. Astrologers treat retrogrades as times to revisit rather than push forward. A modest suggestion is to notice where you hesitate to act for yourself, without rushing to fix it.
