Aspects
Demeter Semi-Square Venus
A low-grade friction runs between your way of loving and the Demeter theme, so love can slip into a rhythm of giving and withholding care to control, providing warmth and then withdrawing it when hurt. The irritation asks you to love steadily, not as a seasonal reward. Give your care freely rather than rationing it to manage a bond.
Lean in — Give your love freely rather than rationing it as control.
Watch for — Withhold warmth to punish or manage a relationship.
