Aspects
Chiron Semi-Sextile Cybele
The Cybele theme and a deep wound sit a step apart, so an old hurt around mothering, being mothered, or the smothering or absent mother can quietly meet your capacity to nurture, a resource that, tended, becomes a gift for healing others' primal wounds. What hurt you in the mother can teach you to shelter cleanly. Let the old wound deepen your nurture without making you repeat it.
Lean in — Let your old mother-wound deepen your nurture, not repeat it.
Watch for — Pass on the smothering or absence that once wounded you.

- George, Asteroid Goddesses (1986)Reads Cybele through her myth, the Phrygian Great Mother of the mountains, of primal nurture, wild nature, and ecstatic devotion, as a point of elemental, commanding maternal power.
- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of the Great Mother and the wound as an inner dynamic of the mother-wound and its healing.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
