Aspects
Egeria Semi-Square Moon
A low friction runs between how much you nourish others and how little you keep back for yourself. You absorb other people's needs so readily that your own moods get crowded out. Let the small ache of being overgiven be a signal, and answer one of your own needs before the next person's.
Lean in — Meet one of your own needs first today.
Watch for — Treat your needs as the last in line.

- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of nourishing presence and the emotional life as an inner dynamic of feeding others until one risks emptying oneself.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-square as low-grade hard tension that seeks release through small adjustments.
