Chiron in Aries
unable to say who you are · rejected initiative · wound of courage · fear of leading
The wound
A person with Chiron in Aries carries a wound in the ability to say "I am here, I want." If criticized for assertiveness in childhood, told "don't ask for that," lived in an environment where decisions were made by others, the belief "showing myself is a mistake" took root. Struggles with flirting in romance, stepping forward at work, saying no on own behalf. Physical issues in the head area (migraine, sinus) are associated with this wound. In adulthood, must return again and again to owning personality, saying "I want," standing in the front row. Healing: accumulating small courage acts.
The gift
When this wound is tended, becomes a natural coach for those who can't find their own voice. The role of sharing the courage journey, giving permission, directing comes naturally.
Practice
Say one small "I want" each day. Start a sport that makes you feel strong.
