Aspects
Mars Conjunction Sappho
Your drive and your lyric, art-loving, deeply-bonding nature are fused, so you pursue beauty, creative expression, and devoted relationship with real energy and ardor. You go after the artistic project and the cherished bond with passion, and there is a charged, romantic intensity to how you act on what moves you. The gift is creative and relational drive with genuine ardor behind it. The shadow is volatility in passionate friendships, fighting for art or love in ways that consume you, or taking creative and relational conflict to heart. Let your drive pursue and defend what is beautiful and dear without burning the very bonds it fights for.
Lean in — Pursue and defend what is beautiful and dear with real ardor.
Watch for — Let volatility in passionate bonds consume what you fight for.
