Aspects
Neptune Semi-Square Pales
A low-grade friction runs between the Pales theme and your longing to merge, so devoted tending can tip into martyrdom, losing yourself in the flock until nothing of you remains apart from their needs. The irritation asks you to care without disappearing. Tend the vulnerable while keeping a self that is more than its service.
Lean in — Tend the vulnerable while keeping a self of your own.
Watch for — Dissolve yourself entirely into the needs you serve.

- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of pastoral care and the imagination as an inner dynamic of the devoted, almost sacred shepherd.
