Aspects
Bacchus Semi-Square Sun
A low-grade friction runs between who you are and a deep hunger for release, so the urge to let go can tip into losing yourself in pleasure or escape, identity dissolving into the next high. The irritation prods you to celebrate without disappearing. Enjoy your release without letting it run the self you are building.
Lean in — Enjoy release without letting it run who you are.
Watch for — Lose yourself in the escape you keep reaching for.
