Aspects
Chiron Conjunction Vesta
A deep, tender wound around devotion, of focus that was shamed, a sacred or sexual self that was hurt, or a dedication that cost too much, sits right on top of a real gift for healing others through focused, devoted attention. The hurt does not fully close, yet it is exactly what lets you tend the wounded place in others with rare steadiness. You become a keeper of the flame in the very place you were burned, often around the body, sexuality, or the sacred work. The work is to keep turning the wound toward healing: serve from your understanding, heal your relationship to the sacred and the sexual, and let yourself receive the focused care you so freely give.
Lean in — Tend others from the very place you were wounded, and heal it.
Watch for — Pour focus into everyone's sacred work but your own healing.
