Chariklo is the daughter of Apollo. Throughout myth she appears in smaller roles (literally where is all the info on her? just because she’s not naked enough or a goddess of Olympus, she doesn’t get any of her own myths?!): the wife of Chiron, the nurse of Achilles, foster mother to Asclepius (lol yes her own brother), etc. She is thought to be a skilled shapeshifter - she could switch between nymph and centaur. Chariklo is also a strong shaman - though her husband got all the credit for healing and knowledge on medicine. It is thought that after Chiron’s death, she is the one who took over his legacy on earth. IN MY OPINION Chariklo in a chart represents a) where you tend to work behind the scenes then later get the credit, b) where you are seen as a nurturer, c) where you blend in (or shapeshift) to better fit your atmosphere, d) how you heal others, and/or e) where you are likely to inherit a big industry.
i encourage you to look into the aspects of chariklo along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of chariklo AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede chariklo!
