Aspects
Ceres Sextile Pluto
There is an available power here to nurture with real depth, but it comes through facing what is hard rather than around it. When you take the opening, your losses and the darker passages of caring can become a source of strength and a way to help others through theirs. It can develop into healing or supportive work, or simply a love that is not afraid of grief. Reach for it: let your own hard experiences teach you compassion, stay present where others flinch, and the capacity to care through depth and change keeps growing the more you use it.
Lean in — Let your own losses become a way to help others through theirs.
Watch for — Avoid the depth that would make your care strong.
