Aspects
Astraea Semi-Square Chiron
A low-grade friction runs between the Astraea theme and your wound, so an old disillusionment with a fallen world can drive you to retreat, expecting reality to fail your ideals, or to give up on fairness entirely. The irritation asks you to tend the wound, not relive it. Keep faith in the good without bracing for the world to betray it.
Lean in — Keep faith in the good without bracing to be betrayed.
Watch for — Withdraw from the world from an old wound of disillusionment.
