Positions
Chiron in Leo
With Chiron in Leo, the tender place is around self-expression, creativity, and the right to be seen and celebrated. Often there was an early experience of being shamed for shining, overlooked, or made to feel your light was too much or not enough, so showing yourself carries fear. The wound stays sensitive, but facing it makes you wonderful at encouraging others to express and be seen. The gift is that you know how it feels to dim, so you can help someone glow. The work is expressing yourself anyway, for its own sake. At your best you give others permission to shine.
Lean in — Express yourself for the joy of it, not for the applause.
Watch for — Hide your light because it was once unwelcome.
