Aspects
Chiron Quincunx Pholus
Your catalytic instinct never quite fits an old wound that a release could reopen, so you keep adjusting between lifting the lid and protecting the hurt. The gift is the small key that can open an old wound toward healing. The shadow is reopening the wound without a plan to hold it. Keep recalibrating between the release and the healing.
Lean in — Open the old wound only with care to hold it.
Watch for — Reopen the wound with no plan to hold it.
