Aspects
Jupiter Conjunction Nessus
Your urge to grow and the Nessus principle are fused, so your search for meaning takes up the cause of justice, the abused, and the ending of harmful cycles, often on a scale larger than the personal. You may be drawn to expose corruption, defend the violated, or champion the buck stopping somewhere. The gift is a principled drive to end the misuse of power and lift others out of harm. The shadow is a self-righteous crusade that becomes its own overreach, inflating your moral position, or using a cause to act out unexamined power dynamics of your own. Let your zeal to stop harm stay honest and humble, ending cycles rather than starting new ones in their name.
Lean in — Champion the ending of harm with honesty and humility.
Watch for — Let a righteous crusade become its own overreach.
