Aspects
Eros Opposition Saturn
Your erotic life-force and your sense of limit sit across from each other, and the strain often arrives through inhibiting figures, hard circumstances, or fear of vulnerability. You may swing between reaching for passion and pulling back in caution, or feel that desire and duty cannot coexist, with longing met by a wall. The resolution is balance, not choice: let your discipline give your passion a durable, committed form and your desire keep your seriousness from going cold, so longing and restraint face each other and combine into mature, lasting passion rather than one always blocking the other.
Lean in — Let discipline shape passion and passion keep the structure warm.
Watch for — Meet every longing with a wall, or call caution maturity.
