Aspects
Flora Square Midheaven
Flora squares your Midheaven, so the wish to do beautiful, life-giving work scrapes against the harder demands of getting ahead. You may chase the pleasant, decorative side of a field and stall on the parts that take grit. Or you may grind so hard that all the bloom goes out of the work. Find the friction point and let it teach you to pair real beauty with real effort.
Lean in — Pair the lovely side of your work with the parts that take grit.
Watch for — Don't let either pure ambition or pure prettiness win out.
