Aspects
Pluto Conjunction Sappho
Your capacity for affection runs deep and absolute, fused with intensity, power, and transformation, so your loves and friendships tend to be all-consuming and to change you. You bond fiercely, the people you love become muses and forces in your life, and your creative passion can burn very hot. The shadow is obsession, jealousy, or a love that grips rather than frees, and bonds marked by loss. At its best this is soul-deep affection and art with real transformative power. The work is to let love and creativity transform you rather than possess you, and to hold even the deepest bonds with an open hand.
Lean in — Let deep love and art transform you, and hold them open-handed.
Watch for — Let affection curdle into obsession or possession.
