Aspects
Chiron Conjunction Venus
Venus conjunct Chiron fuses your capacity to love and value yourself with an old wound, often a deep hurt around being lovable or worthy. Love and the ache are inseparable here. The gift is a profound understanding of the wounds in love, so you can help others feel lovable and worthy. The shadow is a raw, easily reopened hurt around affection and self-worth. The growth is learning to love and value yourself as tenderly as you do others. At your best your very way of loving helps others heal.
Lean in — Build love and worth through the wound, not around avoiding it.
Watch for — Treat the old hurt as the whole of this part of you.
