Aspects
Astraea Semi-Square Venus
A low-grade friction runs between your way of loving and the Astraea theme, so an idealized image of love can make you recoil when a real partner proves imperfect, withdrawing rather than meeting them as they are. The irritation asks you to love the actual person. Honor your ideals in love without fleeing the flawed human in front of you.
Lean in — Honor your ideals without fleeing the flawed person before you.
Watch for — Recoil from a real partner for failing an impossible ideal.
