Aspects
Descendant Opposition Lucifer
With Lucifer opposite your Descendant, which sits across from your Ascendant, your own radiance comes back to you most clearly through the people you partner with. You may feel that they hold the shine while you stay in shadow, or be drawn to brilliant others to complete yourself. The work is to recognize that the light you see in them is also yours to carry.
Lean in — Own the brilliance you keep seeing only in your partners.
Watch for — Do not stay dim so the other can be the bright one.
