Aspects
Eris Square Sun
Who you want to be and the Eris principle of discord keep getting in each other's way, so conflict erupts around your identity and demands to be worked. You may stir strife that rebounds on you, feel chronically excluded and react by burning bridges, or pick fights you cannot then resolve. There is a real risk of an identity that knows how to disrupt but not how to repair, or of mistaking every exclusion for a battle. This square will not settle for either appeasement or war, it asks for action: to name what is wrong without making yourself the wreckage, until disruption and selfhood stop grinding and your strife becomes clarifying rather than self-defeating.
Lean in — Name what is wrong without making yourself the wreckage.
Watch for — Stir strife that rebounds on you, or burn bridges over exclusion.
