Aspects
Neptune Semi-Square Sappho
A low-grade friction runs between your art-loving nature and an idealizing haze, so love and beauty can dissolve into longing for the unattainable or a romanticized image. The irritation asks you to love the real and present. Let your affection meet what is actually here.
Lean in — Let your love meet the real person, not an ideal.
Watch for — Pine for an unattainable image instead of a real bond.
