Aspects
Ascendant Opposition Nemesis
People keep showing up to deliver the corrective you cannot administer to yourself, the comeuppance, the leveling, the demand that you stop inflating a claim. It can feel like the world is out to humble you, but the others are mirrors for a balance you owe. Meet them as feedback rather than enemies and the score evens without a war.
Lean in — Treat the person who humbles you as information about your own overreach.
Watch for — Do not cast every challenger as a persecutor to be defeated.
