Aspects
Sappho Square Sun
Who you want to be and your art-loving, deeply-bonding nature keep getting in each other's way. The push to assert yourself can crowd out your creative, tender side, or your sensitivity can flood your sense of self and leave you raw, and you swing between armoring and over-expressing. There may be a tension between conventional selfhood and an unconventional heart, or rejection in love and art that cuts deep. This square will not settle for a comfortable middle, it asks for action: to honor your artistry and your bonds without being ruled by them, until being yourself and being an artist of feeling stop fighting.
Lean in — Honor your artistry and bonds without being ruled by them.
Watch for — Armor over the tender side, or let sensitivity flood the self.
