Aspects
Demeter Semi-Square Moon
A low-grade friction runs between the Demeter theme and your emotional needs, so a loss can trigger a grief-stricken withdrawal, a withholding of warmth that turns your inner world to winter. The irritation asks you to grieve without freezing everyone out. Mourn what you lose without withdrawing the harvest of your care entirely.
Lean in — Grieve a loss without withdrawing all your warmth.
Watch for — Punish a loss by withholding care until everything goes cold.
