Aspects
Makemake Square Venus
Your longing for love and the Makemake principle keep colliding, so your devotion to the natural world can pull against human relationship, you may disdain conventional love and beauty, withdraw into a loner's bond with nature, or value the wild over the people in your life. Affection and the wild get tangled, so the very love of nature that grounds you can isolate you from people. This square does not want either retreat or self-betrayal, it wants action: to bring your love of the natural into your relationships rather than instead of them, and to value the human bond alongside the wild, until love and nature stop colliding and each enriches the other.
Lean in — Bring your love of nature into your bonds rather than instead of them.
Watch for — Value the wild over the people, withdrawing into a loner's distance.
