Aspects
Ascendant Opposition Persephone
Persephone faces your rising point from the partnership side, so the people across from you keep showing you your own pattern of descent and return. You can feel torn between the lighter self others expect and the deeper self you actually carry. Use the mirror, do not abandon your depth to keep someone comfortable on the surface.
Lean in — Let trusted others reflect your transformations back to you.
Watch for — Do not split yourself to stay palatable to lighter company.
