Aspects
Icarus Semi-Square True Node
A subtle friction runs between settling into a familiar pattern, whether reckless climbing or never daring at all, and the growth that asks for a wiser kind of flight. It shows up as an old habit that no longer serves. Let the discomfort move you toward daring that fits where you are going.
Lean in — Trade the old pattern for the fitting reach.
Watch for — Hide either in rashness or in never trying.
