Aspects
Chiron Opposition Sedna
The deep wound of abandonment tends to come at you through other people. You may draw in those in profound exile who need help surviving, become the one who guides others back from the abyss, or find that closeness re-opens your own oldest betrayal. There can be a back-and-forth of who is abandoned and who rescues. The work is to keep the wound from running it: notice when you guide everyone else through the depths while staying frozen yourself, let others reach you too, and bring the dynamic into balance, so the healing thaws both rather than restaging the original abandonment.
Lean in — Let others reach and help you too, not only the reverse.
Watch for — Guide everyone through the depths while staying frozen.
