My astrological chart locates all the constellations, all the planets (even Pluto!), the Sun, the Moon, and ... Chiron?
Cafe Astrology explains it at the page linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Chiron” (|Comet with an erratic orbit, symbolized by a |Centaur who--though he was Famous for Healing Others--could not Heal his Own Wounds) is related to ancient words that mean "Surgeon" (am I the first one to note its similarity to "|Chronic" ... which 'the lonely island'-boys note is similar to "|Chronicles"?)
Okay, I'll quote Cafe Astrology below:
Chiron is a comet with a unique and erratic orbit. In the natal chart, Chiron is symbolized by the “wounded healer”. It represents our deepest wound, and our efforts to heal the wound. Chiron was named after the centaur in Greek mythology who was a healer and teacher who, ironically, could not heal himself.
Chiron in our natal charts points to where we have healing powers as the result of our own deep spiritual wounds. We may over-compensate in these areas of life. Chiron, as a wounded healer, first must face issues of low self-worth and feelings of inadequacy and learn to rise above these issues. Because the wound goes deep, and we may work hard to overcome the wound, healing powers are potent....
The glyph, or symbol, for Chiron resembles a key and is comprised of an “O” and a “K”, representing “Object Kowal”, which was what Chiron was originally named (Charles Kowal discovered Chiron in 1977).
