Sun Separating Square Selûne

However, the aspect does create a conflict between the conscious will and the unconscious and inherited habit patterns. Self-expression is hampered by these habits, and the disharmony causes them emotional insecurity.

Natives with this aspect tend to be their own worst enemies because of their overly vigorous, impulsive behavior.
