Aspects
Ascendant Opposition Metis
Metis opposite your Ascendant puts your practical cunning out on the relationship horizon, so you keep meeting clever advisors and shrewd operators who reflect intelligence you have not yet owned in yourself. You may defer to their counsel and forget you hold the same gift. Take the wisdom back, and consult your own judgment as readily as you seek theirs.
Lean in — Recognize the strategist in others as a mirror of your own.
Watch for — Hand your judgment to clever people and stop thinking for yourself.
