Aspects
Nessus Semi-Square Sun
A low-grade friction runs between who you are and an inherited theme of power and betrayal, so old patterns of being wronged or wronging can press on your identity. The irritation prods you to author a different self. Be the one in your line who refuses to pass the harm along.
Lean in — Be the one who refuses to pass the harm along.
Watch for — Build your identity around being either victim or aggressor.
