What it drives

Need to serve a larger purpose, to release attachment, and to complete karmic cycles.

The shadow

Inability to let go, bitterness from sacrifice, savior complex. May give until empty then resent the world.

In relationships

Loves broadly and deeply. May struggle with possessive love or feel pulled between personal and universal.

In work

Humanitarian work, art, teaching, counseling, philanthropy. Struggles with purely profit-driven environments.
