Nessus in Leo
father pride · child abuse · humiliation on stage · ego belittlement
Meaning
Nessus in Leo marks accountability for cycles of abuse through pride and visibility. Your father's pride humiliated you, you were in the shadow of a shining sibling, your child's success touched your own wound. Nessus under Sun rulership — the impulse to extinguish another's light. Your work: actually allowing your child to shine; applauding them where you weren't applauded. Service instead of ego, generosity instead of pride.
How to break the cycle
Don't conflate your child's success with your own wound. Drop old rivalry. Give light generously — the wound finds healing there.
⚠ Shadow
«It wasn't done for me, so it won't be for you either» — hidden rivalry. Envying your child's success is the most destructive Leonine Nessus.
