Aspects
Chariklo Conjunction Moon
Your emotional life and the Chariklo gift of holding space are fused, so you can sit with intense feeling, your own and others', without being capsized by it. You instinctively become the emotional safe harbor, soothing others by your steadiness and offering a container in which hard feelings can simply be. The gift is a deep, calming emotional presence. The shadow is absorbing everyone's distress while your own goes untended, or a composure that keeps you from ever letting your own feelings spill. Hold space for others as you do so naturally, but let your own heart be held too, and let your feelings move rather than only be contained.
Lean in — Hold space for others while letting your own heart be held.
Watch for — Absorb everyone's distress while your own feelings stay contained.
