Aspects
Chiron Conjunction Venus
Venus When two planets sit at the same point in the zodiac, blending their meanings into one. The most powerful and direct of the aspects. 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.
