Aspects
Descendant Opposition Juno
Your own need for a committed bond stands across from the partner you seek. With Juno opposite your Descendant, anchored on the self end of the relationship axis, the marriage-theme is centered in you yet faces outward toward the close other, so you carry a strong drive for union that keeps meeting you in the partners you draw. You may bring the whole weight of the marriage-question to a bond, or seek in a mate the commitment you carry within. The gift is a self oriented toward true partnership and a clear instinct for the equal other. The shadow is making a partner responsible for your need to be bonded, or jealousy when the union you crave feels unsure. The lifelong work is to bring your readiness for commitment to a bond as a whole self meeting another.
Lean in — Bring your readiness for commitment to a bond as a whole self.
Watch for — Make a partner responsible for your need to be bonded.
