Ascendant Opposition Demeter
With Demeter opposite your Ascendant, your devoted, providing side shows up most clearly in the people you care for. You can feel that your purpose only switches on when someone needs feeding. Notice when you are leaning on others to give you a role, and learn to nourish yourself without an audience.
Lean in — Ask who is filling your own cup while you fill theirs.
Watch for — Do not need someone to be helpless before you feel whole.
