Aspects
Chiron Sesquiquadrate Mercury
Mercury sesquiquadrate Chiron sets up an intermittent, agitating friction between your mind and the old wound, flaring at intervals, often when you most need to speak. The gift is that each flare is a chance to reclaim your voice a little more. The shadow is reactivity or freezing when the old hurt is touched. The growth is catching the pattern and speaking anyway. At your best you use each recurrence to heal another layer of the voice-wound.
Lean in — Use each flare of verbal doubt to reclaim your voice.
Watch for — Freeze or lash out when the old hurt about being heard is touched.
