Aspects

Chariklo Opposition Chiron

The interplay of woundedness and dignified holding tends to come at you through other people. You may become the steady companion to those in pain, draw in the wounded who need a grace-filled witness, or find that holding others re-opens your own old hurt. There can be a back-and-forth of who is wounded and who holds the space. The work is to keep it in balance: notice when you only ever hold and never let yourself be held, allow others to be the steady presence for you too, and tend your own wound rather than disappearing into the role of the calm one. Real healing here goes both ways.

Lean inLet others be the steady presence for you too.

Watch forOnly ever hold space and never let yourself be held.
