Aspects
Chiron Square Black Moon Lilith
The hurt around the refused self and the drive to reclaim it keep grinding against each other, keeping an old shame close to the surface. It can show as a deep wound around rage, sexuality, or power that was punished, a pattern of suppression and eruption, or a recurring sense that your wildness 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 shame honestly rather than acting it out or numbing it, reclaim your sovereignty over your own instincts, and let the pain become compassion for others who were shamed, rather than a groove you keep falling into.
Lean in — Tend the shame honestly and reclaim your own instincts.
Watch for — Swing between suppressing and acting out the wound.
