Positions
Chiron in Scorpio
With Chiron in Scorpio, the tender place is around power, intimacy, betrayal, and loss, the territory most people keep hidden. There may have been an early experience of violation, abandonment, or a trust broken at the root, so the deep places carry real pain and a guardedness. The wound does not fully close, but facing it makes you a powerful guide for others through their own darkness and rebirth. The gift is that you have been to the underworld, so you can sit with someone there. The work is letting yourself be that intimate and that vulnerable again. At your best you help others transform what nearly destroyed them.
Lean in — Let yourself trust and be intimate again, slowly and on purpose.
Watch for — Use the old betrayal as a reason to control everyone close.
