Nessus in the 1st House
Nessus in your 1st house carries the harm pattern in your very identity. You may carry the wound of abuse or betrayal visibly, or have to watch the inherited reflex in yourself, and others may sense both the hurt and the guardedness. The work is to be the one where the cycle ends, in your own person. The gift is hard-won self-awareness; the way through is to heal the wound and refuse to pass on what was done to you.
Lean in — Heal the wound in yourself and refuse to pass it on.
Watch for — Let the inherited pattern define how you meet the world.
