On August 22, Venus in Cancer squares Chiron retrograde in Aries at 26°55’… this is the celestial equivalent of walking in two directions at once, straddling a tightrope spun between tenderness and rawness, between the womb’s warmth and the battlefield’s grit.

Venus in Cancer longs for sanctuary, for the embrace that erases doubt, the shelter of belonging... Chiron in Aries, however, drags a jagged edge across the heart, whispering that the wound is not elsewhere but here, not later but now.

Together, they pull against one another like tides battling fire—and you, poor creature of flesh and longing—are caught in the undertow of contradiction.

This square insists you live in paradox…

You can’t escape it.
