Aspects
Ascendant Opposition Flora
With Flora opposite your Ascendant, your own freshness reaches you secondhand, through how others light up around you. You may feel ordinary while everyone insists you brighten the place. The work is to stop outsourcing the verdict on your own beauty and to take the compliment as data, not flattery. Believe the people who keep telling you that you bring spring with you.
Lean in — Take it in when people tell you that you brighten a room.
Watch for — Don't wait for others to grant you permission to feel lovely.

- recognition
