Aspects
Asbolus Square Saturn
The Asbolus gift of intuition and your sense of limit keep grinding against each other, so your foresight can curdle into chronic dread, you may foresee only danger and build a cage of caution around it, or distrust your true gut so thoroughly under fear that you override it and get caught out. Intuition and prudence get crossed, so the warning that should protect you either rules you or is ignored. This square does not want either dread or denial, it wants action: to test your foresight against what actually happens, to prepare without catastrophizing, and to trust the verified warning while releasing the rest, until intuition and caution stop grinding.
Lean in — Test your foresight against outcomes; prepare without catastrophizing.
Watch for — Foresee only danger and wall yourself in, or override the true gut.
