Aspects
Ascendant Opposition Victoria
Other people hold up the mirror that tells you whether you have won, so rivals and admirers alike sharpen your sense of your own success. The pull is to define triumph by beating someone, which can leave you restless even after a clear win. Practice measuring victory by your own yardstick rather than by the gap between you and them.
Lean in — Use worthy opponents to raise your own game.
Watch for — Do not need an enemy in order to feel like a winner.
