Aspects
Makemake Square Moon
Your emotional needs and the Makemake principle keep colliding, so your longing for the wild can leave you feeling emotionally homeless in the human world, you may withdraw into nature to avoid people, or be swamped by grief over the living world's losses. Comfort and the wild get tangled, so the nature that should restore you also pulls you away from human warmth. This square does not want either retreat or numbness, it wants action: to let nature nourish you without using it to escape people, and to feel eco-grief without drowning in it, until your heart and the wild stop chafing and you can belong to both the living world and your own.
Lean in — Let nature nourish you without using it to escape people.
Watch for — Withdraw into the wild from people, or drown in eco-grief.
