Aspects
Demeter Semi-Square Sun
A low-grade friction runs between who you are and a deep protective instinct, so an identity built on caring for and holding others can struggle when they must go their own way. The irritation prods you to be yourself beyond the protector. Let your selfhood survive the seasons when those you tend depart.
Lean in — Let your selfhood endure the seasons of letting others go.
Watch for — Be devastated, unmade, when the one you mother departs.
