Aspects
Asbolus Opposition Mars
The Asbolus gift and your drive sit across from each other, so your survival instinct often fires in response to others, you react to threats you sense in them, or are seen as jumpy by those who do not feel what you feel. You may doubt your alarm until provoked, then overreact, or rely on others to confirm the danger before acting. The resolution is balance, not choice: let your drive and your intuition inform each other, so you can trust a real warning and act on it cleanly, neither freezing until it is too late nor firing at a threat that exists only in your read.
Lean in — Trust a real warning and act cleanly, not on a phantom threat.
Watch for — Doubt your alarm until provoked, then overreact to it.
