When Was Chiron Last in Leo?
Updated October 5, 2026
As of October 2026, the last time was 1991–93: Chiron was in Leo from 21 July 1991 to 3 September 1993. Next: Chiron first enters Leo on 28 August 2041; retrograde motion carries it back and forth across the sign's boundary, so it enters three times in all and leaves for good on 1 July 2044.
Each bar runs from first entry to final exit. Stretches marked with a neighbouring sign are times it crossed back over the boundary before returning.

How these dates were found
With Horoskopos's sky search: Chiron's geocentric, apparent, tropical ecliptic longitude, computed with the open-source Astronomy Engine library, with each sign boundary found to the minute. Sample ingresses agree with NASA JPL's Horizons ephemeris to within about two and a half hours. Chiron is computed from orbital elements bundled for 1800–2100, so its dates are limited to that span.
