Aspects
Amor Square Chiron
The hurt around unconditional love and the wish to love and be loved freely keep grinding against each other, keeping an old wound close to the surface. It can show as a deep belief that love must be earned, a pattern of conditional or withheld acceptance, or a sense that you are only loved for what you do. This square will not let the wound stay buried, it pushes you to do something with it. The way through is active: tend the hurt honestly instead of working around it, practice giving and receiving love without conditions, and let the pain become compassion for others who feel unlovable, rather than a groove you keep falling into.
Lean in — Practice giving and receiving love without conditions.
Watch for — Keep believing love must be earned.
