Aspects
Chiron Square Eros
The hurt around desire and the wish to want freely keep grinding against each other, keeping an old wound close to the surface. It can show as shame around sexuality, a history where desire brought rejection or pain, or a recurring sense that wanting is dangerous. This square will not let the wound stay buried, it pushes you to do something with it. The way through is active: tend the hurt honestly instead of working around it, reclaim your desire as healthy and yours, and let the pain become compassion for others carrying the same shame, rather than a groove you keep falling into.
Lean in — Reclaim your desire as healthy and tend the old shame.
Watch for — Keep treating your own wanting as something dangerous.
