Aspects
Makemake Square Sun
Who you want to be and the Makemake principle of the wild keep getting in each other's way, so your kinship with nature collides with the human, tame world you have to live in. You may feel chronically out of place in artificial settings, alienate yourself as the lone nature-self, or grow self-righteous about the natural in ways that isolate you. There is a real risk of an identity that belongs to the wild but cannot make peace with civilization. This square will not settle for either retreat or compromise, it asks for action: to honor your bond with nature while building a real place among people, until the wild and the self stop grinding.
Lean in — Honor your bond with nature while building a place among people.
Watch for — Alienate yourself as the lone nature-self, at odds with everything.
