Aspects
Demeter Square Descendant
Demeter squares your Descendant, so your instinct to feed and protect keeps creating tension in close relationships. You may smother a partner or pick people who lean on you too hard. Practice caring with consent, checking whether your help is wanted before you give it.
Lean in — Ask your partner what they need instead of assuming.
Watch for — Do not smother the people you love with unasked-for care.
- relationship friction
- smothering risk
- consent in care
