The courage to assertively love what hurts is beautiful.
Healing occurs when the wound is totally exposed in a relationship, in your self-expression, self-care or creative work. The pain won’t neatly vanish – you have to carry the embarrassment or vulnerability forward. But you’re choosing to thrive while wearing your bleeding heart on your sleeve.
Pain is a badge of honour because it indicates you’ve lived. You’re not a victim – you’re a warrior who declares “I’m messy and impatient and I’m still going to pursue what I love.”
Maybe you’ve been told you’re too aggressive in going after what you want or you don’t play nice. Someone disapproved because you stirred things up when you “should have” kept the peace. But Venus in Aries loves to stir things up and this is how you’ll heal – by embracing the heat that makes you smile even if it makes others flinch.
Venus/Chiron can be extremely attractive to others because they admire your courage. But on a deeper level they sense the empathy and wisdom you’ve gained from living with this wound – healing also includes an awareness of how much others hurt.
A relationship that begins with this signature will be challenging and magnetic- it will trigger all the sore spots (in an upfront manner) and there will be the simultaneous promises of healing and happiness. But the second part only occurs if both partners are ready to unite love with confrontation.
