Aspects
Amor Opposition Sun
The part of you that wants to stand fully as yourself and the part that wants to love unconditionally sit across from each other, often arriving through others, the needy and the saintly who mirror your giving. You may give yourself away in compassion, then reclaim your identity and feel guilty for having needs, swinging between self-erasure and self-protection. The work is balance, not choice: let your selfhood give your compassion boundaries and your unconditional love enrich who you are, so you can be wholly yourself and genuinely loving at once, neither hardened against giving nor dissolved into it.
Lean in — Let your selfhood give the compassion boundaries, and love on.
Watch for — Give yourself away, then feel guilty for having any needs.
