Aspects
Ascendant Quincunx Astraea
With Astraea quincunx your Ascendant, your inner sense of justice and your outward self rarely sit comfortably together and need ongoing tuning. You may overcorrect, swinging from rigid to apologetic about your standards. The work is small and continual, fitting your principles to the actual person you are. Adjust the bar to your life rather than waiting for your life to reach the bar.
Lean in — Keep tuning your principles to the self you actually live.
Watch for — Do not swing between rigid purity and self-erasure.

- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of idealism and integrity and the Ascendant, the self and persona, as a specific working relationship.
