How long do Chiron transit aspects last?

There is no single duration for every Chiron aspect because the active period depends on the orb being used and whether Chiron turns retrograde. Retrograde motion can repeat a contact in stages, so check when Chiron enters and leaves the chosen orb around the natal planet.

What is the difference between soft and hard Chiron aspects?

Trines and sextiles tend to make an old wound easier to understand and integrate, while squares and oppositions press the conflict into view; a conjunction directly merges Chiron with the natal planet's function. The planet involved shows which kind of issue carries the theme.

Do Chiron transits affect everyone in the same way?

No. A personal Chiron transit depends on an aspect to a specific natal planet, and its expression changes with the planet, aspect type, and closeness to exact contact, so the individual chart matters more than the collective position alone.

In detail

Chiron transit aspects arise when transiting Chiron forms a major aspect to a natal planet; the theme becomes sharper near exact contact, and retrograde motion can bring the same contact back in stages. Chiron signifies a wound that may remain sensitive yet become consciously usable, while the natal planet identifies the function or life issue carrying it. Trines and sextiles favor integration, squares and oppositions expose conflict, and conjunctions merge the two themes directly. Melanie Reinhart specifically frames Chiron as linking woundedness with the capacity to heal.
