Aspects
Ceres Opposition Chiron
The wound around being cared for tends to come at you through other people. You may draw in those who need healing around nourishment, step into the role of the one who mends, or find that relationships re-open the old ache of care that hurt or fell short. There can be a back-and-forth of who is wounded and who is healer. The work is to stop the wound from running the dynamic: recognize when you are over-giving to soothe your own hurt, let others tend you too, and bring the healing into balance, so the bond mends both of you rather than re-staging the original lack.
Lean in — Let others care for your wound, not only the reverse.
Watch for — Over-give to others to numb your own hurt around care.
