Red Chestnut

Fear or over concern for welfare of others

Red Chestnut is for those who have selfless over-concern and fear or worry for the welfare of others, especially of family and close friends. They fear the worst for their loved ones: that a minor complaint will turn into something serious, that a child at play will fall, or a holiday plane will crash. They are also fretful and worry about other people's problems. It is often a temporary state among carers, nurses, councellors, etc.

The positive potential of Red Chestnut is the ability to care for others with compassion but without anxiety. Positive Red Chestnut people radiate thoughts of health and courage to those who need them and remain mentally and physically calm in emergencies. They are happy to give help when asked but hold back from forcing help on others.
