Chiron in Aries

With Chiron in Aries, the old, tender place is around assertion, anger, and the simple right to exist on your own terms. Often there was an early sense that wanting things, or pushing for them, was dangerous or punished, so courage and self-assertion feel fraught. The wound rarely closes completely, but as you face it you become unusually able to help others claim their own nerve. The gift hides inside the hurt: you understand what it costs to stand up, so you can midwife that in someone else. The work is acting anyway, gently and repeatedly. At your best you teach courage because you had to find your own.
