Aspects
Chiron Square Sappho
The hurt around love and belonging and the wish to connect and create keep grinding against each other, keeping an old wound close to the surface. It can show as a deep fear of rejection, a pattern of unrequited or painful bonds, or a sense that the way you love or create is not welcome. 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, let yourself belong and create as you are, and let the pain become compassion for others who feel unwelcome, rather than a groove you keep falling into.
Lean in — Let yourself belong and create as you are, and tend the old hurt.
Watch for — Keep re-living the rejection by hiding how you love.
