Aspects
Chiron Semi-Sextile Nessus
The Nessus theme and the Chiron wound sit a step apart, so an old wound around harm or betrayal can quietly become a source of understanding, a resource that, tended, turns into the medicine you offer others. What hurt you teaches you to help. Let your own wound deepen your care for the harmed.
Lean in — Let your own wound deepen your care for those who were harmed.
Watch for — Use helping others to avoid your own abuse-wound.
