Aspects
Hygiea Opposition Venus
Your longing for pleasure and love and your instinct for health sit across from each other, and the tension shows up around indulgence and restraint. You may swing between rich pleasures and strict regimens, or attract partners who embody either the hedonist or the health-purist. The resolution is balance, not choice: let your love of pleasure keep your health habits humane and your instinct for wholeness keep your pleasures from harming you, so enjoyment and well-being inform each other instead of one always punishing the other.
Lean in — Let pleasure keep health humane and health keep pleasure kind.
Watch for — Lurch between rich indulgence and punishing restraint.
