Aspects
Chiron Semi-Sextile Demeter
The Demeter theme and a deep wound sit a step apart, so an old hurt around mothering, being mothered, or losing a loved one can quietly meet your capacity to nurture, a resource that, tended, becomes a gift for caring for others through their losses. What grieved you can teach you to comfort. Let the old wound deepen your care without making it cling.
Lean in — Let your old grief deepen your care for others' losses.
Watch for — Use mothering others to avoid an old wound of separation.
