..And I have heard that it supposedly indicates an emotional wound from past lives, as Chiron indicates the Wounded Healer. And retrogrades are supposedly indicative of past life karma. But unfortunately I don't know anything more about what retrograde Chiron means. I wish I did! lol

...But here is what astrologer Debbi Kempton-Smith wrote in her book 'Secrets from a stargazers notebook' about retrograde planets:

"If you see an Rx on your chart, the little planet isn't feeling well. It needs medicine. It shows an area in your character and upbringing where you're a bit bottled up, so you act with caution and reticence...People with retrograde planets usually have this subtlety and intelligence at their command, but they see more choices and more complexity in everyday situations. At one extreme is self-absorption and crippling shyness - at the other extreme is the wonderous ability to see the universe in a grain of sand...All retrograde positions make you hesitate and at best refined. It gives class, bustah!"

Chiron Past Life:
"If Chiron is in retrograde in your chart, you face issues of arrogance and/or greed. You may have overwhelming desires to exceed at any cost and at the expense of others. Looking for the easy way to reach easy street, even if it means making unscrupulous deals in the process.

From a past life perspective, you were probably a person who lived in poverty or were destitute or both. Or you may have been expected to succeed, pressured at all turns, but failed in some manner. Only to be blamed, disrespected or ostracized from those you cared most about. Either of these situations possibly left you with seeing the suffering of those you loved, which left a very strong impression on your soul. These past incarnations have left you with a drive to succeed at any cost.
