I think Chariklo deservers her own thread.
Being the beloved wife of Chiron and having lived in a harmonious marriage with him, which itself seems miraculous, after him having been abandoned by his own mother Philyra as a newborn (partly cause she thought he was ugly, partly cause most probably her sex with Chronos had not been really consentual on her part). So Chiron was pretty much born (emotionally) wounded, even before receiving the physical wound, and what was wounded in him was the feminine principle.
Nevertheless he did not condemn or stay away from the whole female gender, but married the Nymph Chariklo and as the myth tells they`ve been married happily and had four children I believe.
In some versions of the myth there is even a reconciliation with his mother Philyra, who then continues to live with Chiron, Chariklo and their children in a cave and they do much healing and teaching as a "tribe".
(in other myths however she is being transformed in some plant or rock, I forget).
Anyway I find Chariklo very intriguing, and I think she would have to do with "healing" as well as "overcoming shisms and going beyond boundaries".
These were my thoughts, here are some others:

I find it especially interesting that it was mentioned how strong she is in artists or writers connected with the science fiction genre. I`ve been for many many years very fascinated with Star Trek (mostly the next generation, and curiously enough, Deep Space Nine. I never really understood why it was especially DS9 that held such tremendous appeal and fascination to me).
Anyway I also belong to those people with Chariclo in aspect to Mars, as was written is the most prominent aspect of those somehow touched by this genre. For me it is a trine, and it is not exact. but it`s there.
In fact my Chariclo has a bunch of aspects:
my CHARICLO on 6 Aries in 4th house
Sabian: "A Man Succeeds In Expressing Himself Simultaneously In Two Realms"
(the sabian just seems so fitting for her relation to transforming boundaries)
aspects:
conjunct IC: 1°34
conjunct ALMA 0°11
conjunct GAEA 1°40
conjunct AURA 1°55
opposite COMPASSION 0°15

trine ASC 0°37
trine Mars 1°23
trine POLYHYMNIA 0°23
trine ANGEL 0°58
trine LUST 1°10
trine WISDOM 1°21
square Venus 0°25
square FELICITAS 0°01
square ISIS 1°59
square OSIRIS 1°17
declinational aspects:
cp Sun 0°24
cp POLYHYMNIA 0°33
cp VESTA 0°24
(I never even knew I was having a triple parallel of Sun, Polyhymnia and Vesta. lol)
EDIT:
Interestingly -a nd I was not aware of that before- Tr Chariklo is at the moment on 27°35 Sagittarius,
conjunct my

REIKI 27°35 Sag
CIRCE 27°37 Sag
Sabian
