Aspects
Chariklo Square Sun
Who you are and the Chariklo gift of holding space keep getting in each other's way. You may hold a graceful composure that costs you, suppressing your own turmoil to be the steady one, or your need to be seen collides with the self-effacing role of the container, and you resent whichever you give up. There is a real risk of a poise that becomes a mask, or of holding so much for others that your own self goes unheld. This square will not settle for performance, it asks for action: to offer real grace without hiding your own struggle, until being yourself and being a sanctuary stop fighting.
Lean in — Offer real grace without hiding your own struggle behind it.
Watch for — Wear poise as a mask while your own turmoil goes unheld.
