Aspects
Icarus Semi-Square Saturn
A low-grade friction runs between the part of you that wants to leap and the part that insists on foundations first. It shows up as either reckless impatience or stalling fear. Use the tension to do the dull preparation that turns a rash leap into a safe ascent.
Lean in — Do the groundwork before the bold climb.
Watch for — Skip the foundation to chase the thrill.
