Aspects
Pluto Quincunx Venus
What you are tenderly drawn to and what you desire with intensity do not naturally line up, so you keep adjusting between gentle love and consuming passion. It can feel like the affectionate bond and the obsessive pull are never the same. The work is treating that adjustment as a skill, a hard-won sense of when to soften and when to go deep. At your best you become unusually good at holding both tenderness and intensity in love.
Lean in — Learn when to soften and when to let love go deep.
Watch for — Keep splitting gentle affection from consuming passion.
