Aspects
Astraea Semi-Square Sun
A low-grade friction runs between who you are and an uncompromising ideal, so disappointment in a flawed world can tempt you to withdraw, to be the disillusioned idealist who retreats rather than engages. The irritation prods you to live your principles where you are. Stand for what is right without fleeing the imperfect world that needs it.
Lean in — Stand for what is right without fleeing the imperfect world.
Watch for — Withdraw in disgust instead of living your ideals here.
