Aspects
Eris Square Mars
Your assertiveness and the Eris principle keep colliding, so your fight can turn gratuitous, you may break peaces that did not need breaking, stir conflict you cannot resolve, or react to exclusion with an aggression that rebounds on you. Drive and clarifying discord get crossed, so the very force meant to clarify instead wrecks. This square does not want either passivity or constant war, it wants conscious action: to aim your disruptive drive at the genuinely false peace, to fight toward a reckoning rather than just for the fight, and to channel the clarifying anger rather than spray it, until drive and discord stop grinding and your force breaks only what needs breaking.
Lean in — Aim your disruptive drive at the genuinely false peace.
Watch for — Break peaces that did not need breaking, then own the wreckage.
