Aspects
Asbolus Semi-Square Mercury
A low-grade friction runs between your pattern-reading mind and a cynical streak, so the gift for foreknowing can leap to the darkest conclusion and call it realism. The irritation asks you to read the signs without assuming the worst. Trust your intuition without letting it sour into cynicism.
Lean in — Trust your intuition without leaping to the darkest read.
Watch for — Mistake cynical conclusions for clear-eyed foresight.
