Aspects
Nessus Conjunction Sun
Your sense of self and the Nessus principle of power and its misuse are fused, so questions of harm, boundaries, and consequence sit close to your identity. You may carry a family or ancestral pattern of abuse or power misused, feel its weight as part of who you are, and stand at the place where it can finally stop. The gift is the power to be the one who breaks the cycle, who refuses to pass the harm on. The shadow is identifying with the wound, repeating the pattern as victim or perpetrator, or a charged relationship to power and control. Own that the buck can stop with you, and choose, consciously, not to hand the harm forward.
Lean in — Choose to be where the inherited harm finally stops.
Watch for — Identify with the wound and pass the pattern on as victim or harmer.
