Aspects
Moon Opposition Neptune
You tend to meet your own longing to merge through other people: you idealize loved ones, draw the needy or the elusive, over-merge, or swing between enchantment and disappointment. Balanced, it makes you deeply compassionate and attuned in connection. The work is seeing people as they are, keeping your boundaries, and not losing yourself to rescuing or being rescued. At your best you bring real, clear-eyed tenderness into your bonds.
Lean in — See loved ones as they are and keep your boundaries.
Watch for — Lose yourself in rescuing or being rescued.
