Aspects
Ascendant Opposition Cybele
Set across from the self, Cybele meets you through the people you face. You keep attracting strong, mothering, or possessive figures who carry the primal protectiveness you have not fully claimed in yourself. Name that power as your own and the tug-of-war over who protects whom eases.
Lean in — Recognize the fierce nurturer in others as a part of yourself to reclaim.
Watch for — Do not outsource your protective strength and then resent the one who holds it.
- projected power
