Chiron takes about 4 years to cross one sign. Everyone born inside that window has it in the same place, so this aspect is largely a description of the age gap between two people rather than of the relationship.
Put concretely: if you and your partner were born a few years apart, this aspect was decided by the calendar before either of you existed. Why 40.1% of the aspects people ask about work this way →
What these two planets are doing
Lilith
What refuses to be domesticated.At 90° the question this pairing raises is whether the same wound is being pressed or tended, set against whether that part is allowed out or has to hide. A square puts those two demands at odds rather than in agreement, which is why this aspect is read as work rather than ease.
Chiron moves 5.3 times slower than lilith, so the faster one sets how long the exact angle holds.
