Chiron in Libra

Chiron is the wounded healer, carrying the chart's deepest wound and the gift for healing that grows from tending it. It claims no rulership and no dignities; the sign colors the wound, the house locates it. In Libra, the wound forms around being wanted, lovable, and worthy of relationship. The first house is the body, the arrival, the self at its most immediate, so here the wound around being wanted shapes how a person presents to others.

This isn't carrying a wound so much as a wound that becomes the source of a healing gift, working at the level of identity, not habit. The trouble is the placement whose untended wound either contorts itself to be liked or guards against closeness to avoid rejection, and never tends the fear of being unlovable beneath.
