Transit Eros Opposition Natal Chiron
Longing touches wounds

Eros moves like a spark through the body, while Chiron remembers the moments it burned. During this time, desire carries an echo: the heart leans forward and the nervous system leans back. Someone’s gaze, a text, a song, a flash of chemistry can stir not just hunger but a flinch. Old stories about being too much, not enough, or unsafe may rise to the surface. The contrast is vivid, and it’s easy to mistake the tension for a sign that something is wrong with you, or with love.
If you can stay close to yourself, the friction becomes dialogue rather than verdict. Let the part of you that wants speak to the part that fears, and let both be right for a while. Pace becomes medicine: slower touch, clearer words, pauses that honor breath. Curiosity softens reflex. Desire can point to exactly where care belongs, and care can belong inside desire, not as a condition but as its companion. This is how eros stops reenacting the wound and starts irrigating it.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Attraction acts like a mirror, reflecting both chemistry and the old injuries that complicate closeness. Honest check-ins, simple language, and room to recalibrate turn potential misunderstandings into deeper trust.
Sexuality & Embodiment
The body remembers, even when the mind has moved on; pleasure meets places that once shut down. Treat touch as conversation—ask, listen, respond—and let aftercare be part of the experience, not an apology for it.
Creativity & Expression
Themes of longing, repair, and raw beauty want a medium. Imperfection becomes style when you let the crack in the voice, the messy draft, or the unfinished edge tell the truth.

You do not have to choose between desire and protection. There is an adult in you now who can hold the door for both—welcoming the spark, tending the bruise, and naming the pace that lets you stay present. Boundaries turn from walls into bridges when they are spoken with warmth.
When triggers arise, practice coming back rather than closing down. Name what you felt, what you wanted, and what would help next time. Repair is not a failure of love; it is love learning its craft. In that practice, tenderness becomes strength and longing becomes a compass rather than a trap.
My longing and my ache are learning to hold each other.
