Aspects
Amor Opposition Neptune
The boundary-less side of unconditional love tends to come at you through the people you care for. You may idealize those you love, slip into rescuing or being the one endlessly forgiven, or give so boundlessly that you are drained while the other takes. Compassion blurs into self-sacrifice. The work is discernment and boundary: see the people you love clearly, notice when giving has become martyrdom, and let unconditional love include yourself. Real compassion here uplifts both rather than emptying one to fill the other.
Lean in — Let unconditional love include yourself, not only others.
Watch for — Give until you are drained while the other only takes.
