Aspects
Ascendant Opposition Toro
Toro opposite your Ascendant places your raw strength out on the relationship horizon, so you keep meeting your own force in the people who confront, challenge, or lean on you. Others test how much power you can hold. Read those clashes as a mirror, and learn to meet strength with strength rather than retreat or domination.
Lean in — Treat strong encounters as a mirror of your own force.
Watch for — Pick fights to prove who is stronger.
