Aspects
Astraea Semi-Square Neptune
A low-grade friction runs between the Astraea theme and your longing to merge, so a vision of the golden age can become pure escapism, dissolving you into a dream of perfection while you flee a reality that disappoints. The irritation asks you to bring compassion to the actual. Hold your ideal of justice without using it to escape the imperfect world.
Lean in — Hold your ideal of justice without using it to escape.
Watch for — Dissolve into a dream of perfection to flee the real.
