Chariklo's discovery may have been a harbinger of the modern-day celebrity culture, which thrives off publicity and personality. Chariklo is the artist or performer, who, as L. Ron Hubbard once said, "dreams the dreams of humanity", and his or her retinue, whose function is to protect him or her from the intrusions of the adoring masses; Chariklo is the astronaut, whose charisma and heroism makes it possible to perform the less glamorous but equally substantial efforts of ferreting out the universe's secrets.

Zane Stein has established a link between Chariklo and performers and creators of science fiction, which has been called "a way of trying futures on for size", of helping us find our way as a society.

Philip Sedgwick has this to say about Chariklo:

The wife of Chiron probably functioned as a sacred prostitute in the matriarchal temples. In our society she refers to social boundaries, especially those of a cross gender or sexual nature. She examines interactions to determine the intent of the scenario prior to judging it or responding emotionally. Chariklo represents healing interpersonal discrepancies on all levels. Studying boundaries from the aura/energy point of view offers the insights of Chariklo. She also asks for a momentary pause before taking an aggressive response to any relationship injustice.

...[Chariklo heals by] redefining the concept of boundaries [and] forgiving inadvertent transgressions.

Chariklo: In Greek myth, Chariklo was the wife of Chiron. She offers relief from the dictates of patriarchy, through the safeguarding of sacred sexuality. Chariklo can represent balanced, active feminine expression, however she also serves in the protection of social boundaries including those that are transgender or sexual in nature. The polarization of woman into virgin or ***** that characterizes many cultures, can be left behind for mature, self-fulfilled, maternal yet sexually active womanhood. As expressed by astrologer Philip Sedgwick, Chariklo serves in maintaining two important personal boundaries; one that would promote quality relations with other people and another that protects personal, sacred space, namely the enclosure of one's own spirituality and individuality.

Hmm..

Yeah, I've been wanting to find out more about Chariklo.. Personally, I feel she is an asteroid that needs further investigation. I feel like the information that is out there about her is kind of scattered.

I find it interesting she is Chiron's Wife.

She and my father both have exact conjunctions of CHIRON and CHARIKLO, which, in turn, gives them an exact conjunction in their composite, and CHIRON conjunct CHARIKLO DW, 2º.

Or are all asteroids pretty much the same in color?

but.. Isn't she a dwarf planet?^

Regardless.. I think the ring thing is pretty cool.

Maybe she acts as somewhat of a grounding energy for Chiron?

I hope that she is an asteroid that is more discussed over time.

I don't know why we don't look at her more closely in synastry with Chiron.

I like this interpretation and find it more relevant than most of the others I've seen:
