Aspects
Ceres Semi-Square Chiron
A low-grade friction runs between your urge to nourish and an old wound around nourishment, so caretaking can become a way to manage a hurt that never quite heals, or you over-give to outrun it. The irritation asks you to tend the wound, not bury it in caring. Let yourself be nourished, not only the nourisher.
Lean in — Let yourself receive care, not only give it.
Watch for — Over-give to others to avoid your own old hurt.
