Aspects
Amor Conjunction Mars
Your drive and your capacity for unconditional love are fused, so you act on behalf of others with real compassion, going to bat for the vulnerable and pursuing connection with a tender, accepting heart. There is gentleness in how you assert yourself and warmth behind your initiative. The gift is drive guided by love, the strength to protect and serve what you accept and care for. The shadow is fighting other people's battles until you are depleted, struggling to assert your own needs because it feels unloving, or letting compassion blunt the healthy edge of your drive. Let your strength serve your open heart without sacrificing yourself to it.
Lean in — Let your strength serve your open heart without self-sacrifice.
Watch for — Fight everyone's battles until your own drive is depleted.
