Aspects
Moon Opposition Vesta
Your need for emotional security and your need to consecrate yourself to something sit across from each other, and the tension often shows up through the people you are closest to. You may take up with the wholly dedicated or the emotionally unavailable, feeling alternately nourished and starved. At its hardest you bounce between sinking into the safety of home and feeling you have abandoned your real work, or burying yourself in the work and going emotionally hungry. The resolution is not to pick one. Your inner life and your devotion are meant to balance, each given its hours, so neither the hearth nor the altar is left cold.
Lean in — Give both the hearth and the altar their hours.
Watch for — Starve your feelings for the work, or abandon the work for comfort.
