Aspects
Ceres Opposition Mars
Your urge to assert yourself and your urge to nurture sit across from each other, and the friction often shows up through others, the demanding and the needy who pull the two ways out of you. You may swing between charging after what you want and dropping everything to take care of someone, resenting whichever you sacrifice. Anger can flare around being needed, or around not being appreciated for all you provide. The work is balance, not choice: let your drive protect and provide for those you love, and let your caring temper your aggression, so action and nurture face each other and strike a usable peace.
Lean in — Let your drive protect those you love and your care soften it.
Watch for — Swing between charging ahead and dropping all for someone's needs.
