Aspects
Mercury Semi-Square Sappho
A low-grade friction runs between your expressive sensibility and a melancholy streak, so words of longing can tip into wistfulness or romanticizing what is sad. The irritation asks you to let your voice hold light as well as ache. Sing the longing without drowning in it.
Lean in — Let your lyric voice hold light as well as longing.
Watch for — Romanticize sadness until your voice only aches.
