Aspects
Sappho Conjunction Venus
Your way of loving and your lyric, art-loving, friend-bonding nature are fused, so you love through beauty, art, and the deep devotion of friendship, often blurring the line between the romantic and the dear friend. You value aesthetic and emotional refinement and form intense, loyal attachments. Where Venus is affection, Sappho makes it lyrical and devoted. The gift is a rare capacity for beautiful, soulful, loyal love and friendship. The shadow is romanticizing relationships past what they are, taking the loss of a bond as the loss of a muse, or needing love to always feel like poetry. Let love be both beautiful and real.
Lean in — Let love be both beautiful and real, friend and muse at once.
Watch for — Romanticize a bond past what it is, then grieve the lost muse.
