Section IV: For Nurturers
NURTURE-ENCOURAGING ATTIRE
Innate need to provide Loved Ones with emotional, practical support.
- With a deep sense of empathy and warmth, this personality type has a strong desire to create safe environments around them. Their energy is calming and reassuring.
- Often, they create a sanctuary amidst life's challenges. This can be good, in moderation.
- However their selfless nature leads to feelings of neglect towards their own needs and desires, creating an internal struggle between their nurturing instincts and personal aspirations.

COMFORTING THE COMFORTER
July to September Review
Overview
- You might have felt a tug-of-war between deep devotion to loved ones and personal desires. Let's see what else you can expect.
Early Summer
- The season starts with harmony.
- An encouraging energy blend from Saturn and Venus building beauty in structures that have to do with this same harmony you so desire.
- Use this magical moment and create a stable home base environment.
- Remain keenly aware of the desire for personal growth and self-expression that otherwise might create internal tension when it starts to fully emerge.
Mid Summer
- Our romantic harmonizer Venus is sitting pretty next to chatty intellectual Mercury — a recipe for complex social and mental dynamics.
- It should aid you in balancing needs of loved ones with your own aspirations.
- It will also likely bring a period of emotional introspection which will only amplify those personal desires — but that's okay, since you had the chance to prepare mentally for this.
- You'll likely find harmony here and should be dressed comfortable and confident for it.
Late Summer
- Of course, these challenges are nothing new.
- A Nurturer's dedication to loved ones always remains strong.
- When tough love teacher, Saturn, stands head-to-head with our Ego Sun, you may find the importance of finding balance between self-care and caregiving particularly strong.
- Saturn wants that structure because it knows your ego needs it.
- Your ability to provide support and comfort is matched by the growing awareness of your own needs and desires.
- Same story, all season, huh.
