Aspects
Asbolus Square Mars
Your assertiveness and the Asbolus gift of intuition keep colliding, so you may react to false alarms, strike from anticipated rather than real danger, or distrust a true gut warning and freeze when you should move. Drive and foresight get crossed, so the instinct meant to protect you either overfires or fails to fire. This square does not want either jumpiness or paralysis, it wants action: to test your alarms against reality, to pause just long enough to tell a real threat from a phantom, and to act on the verified warning while releasing the false one, until instinct and action stop grinding and your reflexes protect cleanly.
Lean in — Pause just long enough to tell a real threat from a phantom.
Watch for — React to phantom threats, or freeze when the real one comes.
