typical time in Sagittarius

every ~50 years

it comes back

As of October 2026, the last time was 1999–2001: Chiron first entered Sagittarius on 7 January 1999 and, because retrograde motion carried it back and forth across the sign's boundary, entered it twice in all before leaving for good on 11 December 2001. Next: Chiron first enters Sagittarius on 9 November 2049; retrograde motion carries it back and forth across the sign's boundary, so it enters twice in all and leaves for good on 6 October 2052.

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.
