Aspects
Chariklo Opposition Imum Coeli
The sanctuary at your roots keeps reaching up toward your place in the world. With Chariklo opposite your Imum Coeli, anchored on the outer, public end of the axis, the gift of holding space is grounded in home and family yet keeps surfacing as you step outward, so the refuge you make at your base tends to color how you meet the wider world, the steadiness of your home traveling with you. You may carry your private sanctuary into public life, or feel pulled home to hold the family whenever you rise. The gift is a rootedness that steadies your outer path. The shadow is a home that absorbs all your holding with none left for the world. The lifelong work is to let the sanctuary at your roots feed rather than tether your public reach.
Lean in — Let the sanctuary at your roots feed your public reach.
Watch for — Let a home absorb all your holding with none left over.
