Because astrology is complete bollocks and astrologers don't have the slightest clue of what they're talking about.

FYI, Chiron in astrology refers to a comet, or planet [sic] discovered in 1977; in astronomy it is a Centaur asteroid/minor planet/comet (it brightens when nearer the Sun), the first of the Centaurs to be discovered. Another online source for astrology states that Chiron was originally a star in the constellation of Centaurus, probably that’s the source of the astronomers’ name for that family of asteroids?
