Aspects
Hygiea Square Sun
Who you want to be and your instinct to keep everything healthy keep getting in each other's way. The drive to live large can override sensible care, or anxious health routines can crowd out spontaneity and joy, and you swing between the two. There is a real risk of either neglecting the body until it forces your attention, or organizing life around health rules so tightly that nothing breathes. This square will not settle into a comfortable middle, it asks for action: to honor your vitality and your body's real needs at once, until living fully and staying well stop fighting each other.
Lean in — Honor your vitality and your body's real needs at the same time.
Watch for — Either ignore the body or rule your life by health anxiety.
