Aspects
Chiron Conjunction Eros
A deep, tender wound around desire, of sexuality that was shamed, rejected, or hurt, or passion that brought pain, sits right on top of a real gift for helping others heal there. The hurt does not fully close, yet it is exactly what lets you understand erotic wounding and meet it with rare compassion. You become a kind of healer in the place you were hurt, often around the body, attraction, and the right to want. The work is to keep turning the wound toward healing rather than re-opening it: reclaim your own desire as good, bring your hard-won understanding to others, and let yourself receive the tenderness you offer.
Lean in — Reclaim your own desire as good, and help others do the same.
Watch for — Tend everyone's erotic wounds but your own.
