Chiron in Cancer
Chiron in Cancer carries a wound around belonging and being cared for. The person may have felt homeless in their own family, and heals by making a home for others. The gift is nurture that knows what its absence feels like.
In plain words
Chiron stands for an old hurt that taught you something. In Cancer, that works in a Cancer way: caring, protective and easily hurt. You look after your own and remember everything.
