Aspects
Neptune Semi-Square Pomona
A low-grade friction runs between the Pomona theme and your longing to merge, so a devotional vision of the garden can become escapism, dissolving into an ideal of ripeness while the real fruit goes untended or unpicked. The irritation asks you to bring the dream down to the soil. Hold your reverence for the garden while doing the real, dirt-handed work of tending and harvest.
Lean in — Hold your reverence while doing the real work of harvest.
Watch for — Dissolve into the dream of the orchard, neglecting the real one.
