Aspects
Amor Opposition Moon
Your need for emotional comfort and your urge to love unconditionally sit across from each other, and the tension surfaces in close ties. You may give endless accepting care while your own emotional needs go unmet, or finally tend yourself and feel selfish for it, swinging between over-giving and guilty withdrawal. You meet the needy and the saintly who mirror both. The resolution is balance, not choice: let your own need for care temper your compassion and your loving heart keep your self-care from going cold, so giving and receiving inform each other, and the acceptance you offer so freely also reaches you.
Lean in — Let the acceptance you give so freely also reach yourself.
Watch for — Give endless care, then feel selfish the moment you rest.
