Aspects
Ascendant Opposition Egeria
You meet your role as the wise source mainly through whoever is in front of you, and your guidance can feel realest when someone needs it. The danger is defining yourself entirely by the one you advise. Let others mirror your wisdom back, then carry it home as your own rather than leaving it with them.
Lean in — Notice when your sense of self depends on having someone to counsel.
Watch for — Do not pour your whole identity into the person you are guiding.
- mirrored wisdom
- the served
