Transit Chiron Square Natal Eros

This transit brings the ache of old hurts into direct contact with the heat of wanting. Desire rubs against scar tissue, revealing where tenderness and defense still live side by side. It asks for honesty about what you long for, and gentleness with the parts that learned to brace.

Chiron square Eros is the sensation of reaching toward warmth while expecting to get burned. Attraction lands with a thud on old narratives: if I want, I’ll be shamed; if I receive, I’ll owe; if I show, I’ll be left. The body remembers what the mind rationalizes—muscles tighten, breath shortens, and desire becomes either strategic or theatrical. We pursue the unavailable to reenact the ache, or perform for approval to outpace it. The square amplifies the split between the one who longs and the one who stands guard at the door.

Working with this tension means letting desire be information rather than instruction or indictment. Name both the tenderness and the wanting, and move at a pace your nervous system can trust. Boundaries become bridges when they are spoken, not walls when they are assumed. Eros broadens beyond sex into aliveness: color, play, awe, creativity, warmth on skin. In that wider field, the wound can hold its wisdom without driving the car, and desire returns as companion rather than test.
