Typhon, sometimes referred to as Typhaon or Typhoeus, is the son of Gaea and Tartarus. Oftentimes, he is depicted as a fire-breathing dragon with one hundred heads. Typhon and Zeus went head to head in one of the first battles of the Titanomachy - Typhon repelled all the Olympians except Zeus, who had every tendon pulled out of him by Typhon. Hermes took back these tendons, and Zeus then used his bolt against Typhon and confined him under Mount Etna. Typhon was then said to be the cause of volcanic and seismic activity in the area. IN MY OPINION Typhon in your chart can represent a) where you breathe fire, b) where you scare people away, and/or c) where even suppressed, you make your presence known.
i encourage you to look into the aspects of typhon along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of typhon AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede typhon!
