Aspects
Descendant Opposition Persephone
Persephone faces your partnership point from the self side, so close others keep reflecting your own pattern of descent and return. What you have not faced in yourself tends to arrive wearing a partner's face. Use the relationship as a mirror for your transformations rather than blaming the messenger.
Lean in — Read partner conflict as a mirror of your own depths.
Watch for — Do not project your unfaced descent onto the other.
