Placements
Chiron in the 1st House
With Chiron in the first house, the old wound sits in your identity and the way you meet the world, so the hurt can feel like it is simply who you are. Often there was an early sense of being damaged, different, or somehow wrong at the level of self. People feel both your woundedness and your healing presence the moment they meet you. The gift is that your very being can help others feel less alone in their hurt. The work is befriending yourself rather than treating yourself as the problem. At your best you become a living proof that a wounded person can still heal others.
Lean in — Befriend yourself instead of treating yourself as the flaw.
Watch for — Wear the wound as your whole identity.
