What changes do you notice in your approach to personal passions as they meet with your long-standing approach to healing and individuality?

As Eros transits through Leo, its fiery energy opposes your natal Chiron in Aquarius, creating a dynamic interplay of energies that can have a significant impact on your approach to your deepest passions and your healing journey. Eros, the asteroid symbolizing desire and what kindles your passion, in the bold sign of Leo, encourages you to express your desires more openly, to seek out what brings you joy, and to perhaps approach your creative life with a renewed vigor and a desire to be seen. This transit is about embracing the part of you that wants to shine, to be admired, and to find pleasure in life's offerings.

Your natal Chiron in Aquarius, however, speaks of a more complex relationship with individuality and healing. Aquarius energy is about the collective, innovation, and sometimes a feeling of being the outsider looking in. It suggests that your journey to healing has perhaps been about finding your unique place within the group and understanding that your differences are strengths. The opposition to Eros in Leo may highlight tensions between your pursuit of personal passions and your long-standing methods of healing and asserting your individuality. This contrast can illuminate where you've felt restricted in expressing your passions because of past wounds or where you've sacrificed personal joy for the sake of fitting in or adhering to group ideals.

During this transit, you may find that your passions redefine your sense of individuality, pushing you to consider how your unique contributions can be both personally fulfilling and beneficial to others. The key is to find the balance between these energies-to allow your passion projects to not only heal your own wounds but to also inspire and heal others. It can be a time of integrating your personal desires with your role in the larger collective, acknowledging that the expression of your true self can be both a personal and a communal act of healing.

Eros opposing Chiron may also bring attention to the ways in which your past experiences have shaped your approach to what you love doing. You may notice a tension between wanting to break free from old patterns and the comfort of the known. This period challenges you to redefine what being true to yourself means when it comes to your passions and interests. It's an invitation to reevaluate your approach to pleasure, creativity, and expression, and to consider how these can be pathways to deeper self-understanding and healing. Embrace this transit as an opportunity to forge a new relationship with your passions-one that honors both your individuality and your place in the collective tapestry.
