Emotional Wounds for Chiron in Libras

Libras are naturally social creatures, so they don't take solo time too well when left to their own devices. They aren't comfortable being alone with their thoughts or, worse, their secrets.^{[6]

As compassionate and empathetic individuals, Chiron in Libra placements struggle to show themselves compassion and empathy. Often, putting their own needs on the back burner to favor someone else's. However, their compassion in these scenarios may be taken for granted and manipulated by those Libras are trying to help.
Since Libras are more concerned with other people's emotions, it takes a lot for them to break away from a toxic relationship, whether platonic, romantic, or familial. Picturing a life without the other person is unknown to them, which happens to be one of their biggest fears. Being left to the unknown creates feelings of imbalance, and they struggle to navigate that.
As an air sign who loves open communication, Libras don't like communication that leads to hurt or conflict, so they tend to avoid confrontations. They put a lot of weight on other people's opinions and feelings, so much so they'd rather suppress their true feelings to keep the other person happy.

As social creatures, Libras don't do well alone. Try spending quality alone time with yourself and do something that will help you grow. Read a self-help book or journal about your day, or incorporate a meditation practice into your daily routine.
2
Be honest with yourself. Chiron in Libras tend to suppress their own emotions in favor of someone else’s. Instead of ignoring them, take up journaling. When you’re feeling uncomfortable, disappointed, or concerned about a situation, sit in a quiet place where you can let your pen do the work. Allow your thoughts to flow on the page. Afterward, read them silently or out loud to yourself. It can be a therapeutic process.
- If journaling isn’t your thing, try talking to someone you trust and have a little venting session to get things off your mind. You can also speak to a therapist who can guide you.
- It's important to remember you do not have to protect everyone else's feelings. Only yours. The way you feel is just as important as anyone else.
3
Find inner-harmony outside of a relationship. One way to do that is through self-love. Develop a self-love practice by listening to yourself and filling the time you’d spend devoted to a romantic partner by dedicating it to yourself. Take part in things that will help you become the best version of yourself. Try a new hobby or move your body.^{[8]

- For Libras, a relationship gives them meaning. However, it shouldn't encompass them so much that they lose part of themselves. Finding inner balance all starts with self-love.

What is chiron in astrology?

Nico Pires
Spiritual Advisor, Astrologer and Numerologist

In astrology, Chiron is a planet called “the wounded healer” and is a good placement to find the ways that we project our wounds on other people and try to heal them in those people instead of dealing with the internal wound that's present. I would say the emotional root of your trauma is heavily connected to your Chiron placement, and if you're having trouble digging toward what that root may be, Chiron is a really good place to start.

To understand Chiron, consider this analogy: Say you have an open wound on your leg that's cut and bleeding, and you’re looking out at other people who are moving through the same environment as you. If you don't focus on addressing your wound, you're going to snap at people or try to yank people off of the path and say, “Hey, be careful. Hey, don't walk over there. You could hurt yourself,” and meanwhile, they're like, “You're the one bleeding.” But you're so focused on stopping someone from experiencing your pain that you're not addressing your open wound.
