Aspects
Icarus Semi-Square Mars
A low-grade tension runs between the part of you that wants to attack the impossible at once and the part that knows to pace. It shows up as a temptation to burn out in the first sprint. Treat the friction as a signal to set limits before you launch into the climb.
Lean in — Set a limit before you sprint the climb.
Watch for — Spend everything in the opening rush.

- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of reckless flight and the driving will as an inner dynamic of bold action that ignores its own limits.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-square as low-grade hard tension that seeks release through small adjustments.
