Aspects
Chiron Square Eris
The hurt of being cast out and the force that wants to disrupt keep grinding against each other, keeping an old wound close to the surface. It can show as a deep sense of not belonging, a reflexive rage when excluded, or a pattern of conflicts that reopen the original rejection. This square will not let the wound stay buried, it pushes you to do something with it. The way through is active: tend the exclusion wound honestly rather than acting it out, find where you genuinely belong, and let the old rage become advocacy and compassion for others who are cast out, rather than a groove you keep falling into.
Lean in — Tend the exclusion wound and find where you genuinely belong.
Watch for — Act out the old rage instead of healing it.
