This opposition can feel like standing between a stage and a sanctuary. Part of you wants to be seen, affirmed, and alive in the world; another part needs the door closed, the room quiet, the ritual intact. Old vows — some spoken, some absorbed by osmosis — may surface: promises to be dependable, pure, tireless, or above distraction. You might feel torn between your love for a cause and the ache to reclaim your time, body, or joy. Perfectionism can masquerade as devotion here, and interruptions may sting more than usual because they brush against something holy.
Working with this energy means letting the Sun illuminate your hearth, not scorch it. Ask which fires are yours to keep and which you’ve been feeding out of habit. Devotion ripens when it’s chosen again; let your commitments be living vows, not museum pieces. If you bring warmth and presence to what you’re dedicated to — and the courage to say no where the flame has faded — the split softens. You become both keeper and light, a self who can serve without disappearing.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
You may notice friction between time for shared life and the space you need for a calling or private practice. It’s a moment to name boundaries with care, agree on rituals that nourish both of you, and ask for support without apology.
Work & Purpose
A project or cause presses for your full attention, while your identity asks, Does this still reflect me? Refine scope, remove busywork, and recommit to the essential task that feels meaningful — not merely obligatory.
Home, Rituals & Wellbeing
Your inner hearth wants tending: simple routines, quiet spaces, and restorative practices. Streamline the altar of your life so the few rituals you keep actually feed you, body and soul.

You don’t have to choose between loving something deeply and loving yourself well. If guilt arises when you protect your time, consider it the sound of old agreements loosening; breathe, and replace should with want, must with choose.
Let this transit be a gentle audit of your devotions. Light one candle — literal or figurative — for what you’re truly keeping, and let the rest dim without drama. When your care is focused and your boundaries warm, your presence becomes the offering.
I tend the fire that tends me.
