Aspects
Chiron Quincunx Vesta
Your urge for devoted focus never quite fits an old wound around sexuality, shame, or self-denial, so you keep adjusting between consecrating yourself and protecting the hurt. The gift is a hard-won capacity for sacred focus. The shadow is over-devotion as flight from the wound, or denial of desire. Keep recalibrating between the sacred work and healing.
Lean in — Devote yourself to the work while healing the wound.
Watch for — Over-devote, or deny desire, to flee the wound.
