Aspects
Ceres Opposition Moon
Your need for emotional nourishment and your urge to nourish others sit opposite each other, and the gap shows up most in close ties. You may give and give while quietly starving, or attract people who need mothering until your own hunger goes unmet, then swing into neediness yourself. There can be an old echo of the Demeter grief here, a fear of loss and separation that makes attachment fraught. The resolution is not to choose between giving and receiving. Both are meant to flow, each given its turn, so that the same care you pour out so freely is also allowed to come back to you.
Lean in — Let the care you pour out be allowed to flow back to you.
Watch for — Feed everyone while quietly starving, then collapse into need.
