Chiron at 29 degrees: what the degree means, the birth windows when Chiron sat at 29° in each sign, and the real age your Chiron first gets squared, solved from the ephemeris.
Chiron at 29 degrees means Chiron sits in the 30th degree of whatever sign it occupies in your birth chart. In degree theory, 29 carries a Leo-flavoured wound: it is about being seen, applauded or ignored, and it heals when you create for your own pleasure before anyone claps. 29 is also the anaretic degree, which turns the placement up. The number itself is not an age: transiting Chiron first squares a 29° placement anywhere from about 5 to 23 years old depending on the sign, because Chiron’s speed changes fourfold around the zodiac. The dated birth windows and the real ages are below, sign by sign, solved from the ephemeris.
What 29 degrees means
In degree theory, 29 carries a Leo-flavoured wound: it is about being seen, applauded or ignored, and it heals when you create for your own pleasure before anyone claps. That flavour sits on top of the sign Chiron is actually in: a 29° Chiron in Capricorn and a 29° Chiron in Cancer share the degree’s tone but not its story. The 29th degree is the last one in any sign, the anaretic degree. Points here are read as urgent and unfinished: the sign’s whole lesson is being crammed into its final moments. A Chiron at 29 degrees tends to feel the wound as a deadline, something that must be resolved before the next chapter can start, which is exactly why it keeps getting rushed. Degree theory is a modern reading, not a measurement; treat it as colour. Everything dated on this page is measurement.
Born with Chiron at 29°: the birth windows
Chiron takes about fifty years to go round once, so it has crossed the 30th degree of every sign roughly twice since 1930. These are the windows, sign by sign, computed from the Swiss Ephemeris. Find your birth date to read the sign your 29° Chiron is in, then use the calculator for the exact minute, house and aspects.

- Chiron at 29° Taurus: born May 24, 1933 to Mar 23, 1934 (on and off across its retrograde loops), or Jun 7, 1983 to Apr 10, 1984 (on and off across its retrograde loops).

The age your Chiron gets touched
Every Chiron placement is squared, opposed and finally returned to by transiting Chiron. Those are the dates the wound gets touched, and they depend on the sign far more than on the degree: the same 29° gets its first square at 5 in the fastest sign and 23 in the slowest. Ages below are for a birth in the middle of the most recent window and can shift by about a year at the window’s edges; the calculator solves your exact passes.
- 29° Aries, born 1976: first square at about 15 (around 1991), opposition at about 20, return at about 50.
- 29° Taurus, born 1983: first square at about 10 (around 1993), opposition at about 15, return at about 50.
- 29° Gemini, born 1988: first square at about 7 (around 1995), opposition at about 14, return at about 50.
- 29° Cancer, born 1991: first square at about 5 (around 1996), opposition at about 14, return at about 50.
- 29° Leo, born 1993: first square at about 5 (around 1998), opposition at about 17, return at about 50.
- 29° Virgo, born 1995: first square at about 6 (around 2001), opposition at about 23, return at about 50.
- 29° Libra, born 1996: first square at about 8 (around 2004), opposition at about 29, return at about 51.
- 29° Scorpio, born 1998: first square at about 12 (around 2010), opposition at about 35, return at about 51.
- 29° Sagittarius, born 2001: first square at about 16 (around 2017), opposition at about 37, return at about 50.
- 29° Capricorn, born 2005: first square at about 22 (around 2027), opposition at about 36, return at about 51.
- 29° Aquarius, born 2010: first square at about 23 (around 2033), opposition at about 33, return at about 50.
- 29° Pisces, born 2018: first square at about 20 (around 2038), opposition at about 27, return at about 50.
The degree is not an age
A common shortcut reads the degree number as the age the wound formed or wakes up. The orbit does not work that way. Chiron moves through Libra and Scorpio in under two years each and through Aries and Taurus in seven to nine, so a Chiron at 29 degrees is first confronted at 5 for some people and 23 for others born with the same number. If a year stands out in your memory, the ages above will usually explain it better than the degree does.
How to find your Chiron degree
Enter your birth date, time and place in the free Chiron calculator. It returns Chiron’s exact degree and minute, the sign, the house, whether it was retrograde, the aspects that wire it into your everyday planets, and the dated milestones for your own chart rather than for a window. If you only know the date, the sign and degree still come out exactly; the house needs the time.
