The presence of Venus sextile Chiron synastry can support a deeply involved relationship with a strong potential for healing and transformation. This mostly harmonious aspect suggests natural compatibility and an appreciation for how each partner expresses affection.

My Experiences Counseling Venus Sextile Chiron Synastry Clients
When Sarah first came to me distraught over her new relationship ending badly, I noticed the Venus sextile Chiron aspect at play in their synastry chart. Reviewing the symbolism, Sarah recognized Damien’s painful emotional wounds had been repeatedly triggered, causing him to retreat out of fear despite caring for her deeply.
Sharing her knowledge with compassion and providing plenty of time for Damien to reflect, Sarah was able to reconcile their relationship. They learned how old wounds had sabotaged their happiness, so these patterns could be avoided going forward through better communication.
Last I heard, Sarah and Damien now live together in a cottage by the sea with two shelter dogs. They appear to have created an accepting sanctuary where emotional healing continues to unfold.
I have my own experience to share with this aspect. Early in my relationship with my husband Loren, we weathered a major crisis that nearly tore us apart. My passionate partner’s jealousy and neediness went into overdrive after a family tragedy triggered his abandonment wounds from childhood. Meanwhile, I grew judgmental and critical as my fears ignited.
After intense clashes, we agreed to try relationship counseling with an astrologer, not expecting much. Yet with hard work, our Venus sextile Chiron synastry supported necessary mutual understanding and healing. Now married for 15 years, our bond grows richer by the day. This experience and our delving into this aspect with our counselor helped inspire my desire to learn astrology.
