Aspects
Chiron Conjunction Pholus
A tender wound around release, of having set off more than you could hold, of being the one through whom a family's contained material erupted, or of being hurt when a lid came off, sits right on top of a real gift for helping others release what they have kept sealed. The hurt does not fully close, yet it is exactly what lets you understand the danger and the necessity of opening the jar, and guide others through it with rare care. You become a healer in the place where release wounded you. The work is to keep turning it toward healing: tend your own contained material, and help others open theirs safely.
Lean in — Tend your own contained material, then help others open theirs safely.
Watch for — Stay sealed yourself while helping everyone else release.

- Forrest, The Inner Sky (1988)Reads the contact in evolutionary terms, as a wound whose release can become healing.
