The wound
A person with Chiron in Leo carries a wound in shining on stage and laying down own voice. In childhood, creative expression was criticized, was made ashamed when applauded, received "don't outshine" messages. In romance, doubt "will they love me" is fundamental — fear of losing partner is large. Relationship with children (if own) is hard — must learn how to love them. Physically, heart, back can be sites of wound somatization. In adulthood, inability to finish creative work, constant feeling of "not enough." Healing: allowing childlike play, completing small creative works, trying to be vulnerable in romantic love.
The gift
When tended, becomes a teacher who gives permission to those who say "I dare not shine." The creative coach-mentor role.
Practice
Finish one small creative work each week. Be vulnerable in romance. Play with a child.
