Aspects
Chiron Opposition Eros
The wound around desire tends to come at you through the people you are drawn to. You may attract lovers who are wounded around sexuality, step into the role of the one who heals through intimacy, or find that attraction re-opens an old ache of rejection or shame. There can be a back-and-forth of who is wounded and who heals in the erotic field. The work is to keep the wound from running it: notice when you over-give in intimacy to soothe your own hurt, choose partners who are good for you, and let desire be mutual healing rather than a restaging of the original pain.
Lean in — Choose lovers who are good for you, and heal together.
Watch for — Over-give in intimacy to numb your own erotic wound.
