Aspects
Amor Square Moon
Your emotional needs and your capacity for unconditional love keep colliding. You may give accepting care to soothe your own ache, mother everyone while starving yourself, or stay in unkind situations because leaving feels like a failure of love. Comfort and compassion get tangled, so the love you pour out also drains you. This square does not want a tidy truce, it wants action: to tend your own needs as worthy of the same acceptance you give others, to love without making yourself a doormat, and to let boundaries be an act of love rather than a betrayal of it, until your heart and your compassion stop emptying each other.
Lean in — Treat your own needs as worthy of the acceptance you give.
Watch for — Stay in unkind situations because leaving feels unloving.
