Chiron in the 7th House
With Chiron in the seventh house, the old wound surfaces in partnership and the close other, so relationships become where the hurt and the healing both happen. Often the wound is met through a partner who reflects it back, or through a pattern of bonds that wound. As you face it, you become skilled at helping others heal their relating. The gift is a hard-won understanding of what real meeting costs. The work is staying open to closeness without bracing for the old pain. At your best you help others learn to be met as equals.
Lean in — Stay open to partnership without bracing for the old hurt.
Watch for — Cast every partner as the one who will wound you again.
