How does it feel to have your ruling "planet" be Chiron rather than Jupiter?
You poor wounded sensitive creature!

Knowing a planet or planetary body's Ruler is important in astrology.
Knowing where a sign is domiciled has been done since the beginning of astrology, mixing myths with the skies. Traditional/Modern Rulers now co-mingle.
It helps with delineating a chart & interpreting more clearly.
Over time & consensus, the astrology community have established Rulership over the
& this knowledge has helped with our understanding of astrology.
Eventually, over time, Chiron will be given a Ruler....as will Ceres, BML, etc.
One never stops learning in astrology if you want to take it seriously!

Now you understand Pisces. Your Sun-sign is just the Sun's humble Domicile.
Mine is the Sun's sacred Shrine.
All hail the mighty Sun!
Chiron’s energy is closer to Scorpio/Sagittarius than Virgo. Chiron, like all Centaurs, ultimately deals with connection and transformation of energies. Chiron in particular is the link between Saturn and Uranus. Chiron is less of a planet than Ceres and honestly given slightly more importance than necessary over Ceres. If you’re too focused on fitting Chiron into the archetype of actual planets, you should continue your research and look at how some other Centaurs function within the chart (Chiron isn’t even the largest of the bunch) and begin integrating them, and even Kuiper Belt Objects, into your work to cultivate deeper understanding. There are plenty of career astrologers who have done a lot of the leg work to delineate the meaning of these other placements.
Regardless, Chiron does not even act like a planet when looking at it in charts. Like all Centaurs, Chiron crosses the orbits of other planets and links those energies together. No actual planet does that. Centaurs describe the process through which the energies of the planets they link are transmuted. Calling it a planet or not does not change how it operates in the chart.I agree with most of what you say, I am reading Erminie Lantero’s book right now, and the astrologers you speak of, talk of how in a very small orb, it behaves as a planet. They don’t call it one, they treat it as one. So far, I am preferring Lantero’s approach and writing to Clow’s. Although, for most readers, I think that Clow’s format would be more endearing. Lantero delves into the myth’s and history more, and I like her style of writing.
