Aspects
Makemake Square Mars
Your assertiveness and the Makemake principle keep colliding, so your fight for the natural world can turn self-righteous or solo, you may burn out battling an indifferent system, refuse to work with people in the cause, or let frustration with the human world curdle into combative isolation. Drive and the wild get crossed, so the very energy meant to protect the living world exhausts you instead. This square does not want either apathy or burnout, it wants action: to fight effectively and sustainably for nature, to work with allies rather than alone, and to channel the anger into building rather than only railing, until drive and the wild stop grinding.
Lean in — Fight for nature effectively and sustainably, with allies.
Watch for — Burn out battling alone, refusing to work with anyone.
- burnout
- self-righteous-solo
