Aspects
Mars Opposition Sappho
Your urge to assert and push and your lyric, art-loving, devoted nature sit across from each other, and the friction often comes through others, the combative and the artful who pull the two ways out of you. You may steamroll your sensitive, creative side in the name of getting things done, or be so caught in beauty and devotion that you cannot assert yourself, swinging between aggression and softness. The resolution is balance, not choice: let your drive defend your art and your bonds, and your lyric heart give your action grace, so assertion and artistry face each other and combine into ardent, graceful drive rather than canceling out.
Lean in — Let drive defend your art and your bonds give it grace.
Watch for — Steamroll the creative side, or be too soft to assert at all.
