Chiron was discovered at a very interesting time.
November 1st is the Samhain holiday.  This is the time of Halloween, the Day of Remembrance of the Dead and the Night of the Devil, the time of the descending month, also the time of respect and preparation for death.  This was the most powerful threshold time, known as the night was the beginning between the years, when the portal between the worlds opened and the dead walked among mortals.
 It is a moment of timelessness, halfway between the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice, as the sun continues to descend southward, plunging the earth into darkness.  In the night sky of the Pleiades, a star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters, ascends into the sky as the sun begins to set, giving Samhain the responsibility of hosting a funeral and mourning the Celtic lands.
