Aspects
Ceres Square Chiron
The hurt around being cared for and the work of caring keep grinding against each other, keeping an old wound close to the surface. It can show as pain around food and the body, a hard history with a parent's care, or a recurring sense that you are not nourished and cannot quite nourish others the way you wish. 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, learn to give and receive care in healthier ways, and let the pain become a source of compassion rather than a groove you keep falling into.
Lean in — Tend the care wound honestly so it can finally change.
Watch for — Bury the hurt and keep re-living it through the same patterns.
