Chiron in the 2nd House
With Chiron in the second house, the old wound sits in money, possessions, and self-worth, so value and security feel chronically uncertain. Often there was early scarcity or a sense that you were not worth providing for. As you face it, you become able to help others find a worth that does not depend on what they own. The gift is a hard-won knowledge that you are valuable apart from having. The work is letting yourself receive and trusting that enough is possible. At your best you help others feel they are worth caring for.
Lean in — Let yourself receive and trust that enough is possible.
Watch for — Tie your whole sense of worth to what you can hold.
