Chiron Opposition Eris

The wound of exclusion tends to come at you through other people. You may draw in those who are marginalized and need a champion, step into the role of advocate for the cast-out, or find that conflict re-opens your own old hurt of rejection. There can be a back-and-forth of who excludes and who is excluded. The work is to keep the wound from running it: notice when you fight others' battles to avoid your own hurt, let yourself be welcomed rather than always the defender, and bring the dynamic into balance, so the advocacy heals you too rather than restaging the rejection.
