Aspects
Ascendant Opposition Bacchus
Bacchus stands across from your rising, so the call to indulge and let go reaches you through the people you meet. Companions either coax you into pleasure or hand you the bill for it, and you learn your own limits by watching theirs. Notice when a crowd's mood is carrying you somewhere your body did not actually want to go. Choose company that celebrates with you rather than at your expense.
Lean in — Read whether the room's pleasure is truly yours
Watch for — Do not borrow an appetite just to match the table
