Aspects
Jupiter Semi-Square Pholus
A low-grade friction runs between your catalytic nature and your urge to expand, so a single belief or enthusiasm can cascade into excess or zealotry. The irritation asks you to watch what a small conviction unleashes. Let your beliefs open meaning without running away with you.
Lean in — Let a new conviction open meaning without runaway excess.
Watch for — Let one belief cascade into zealotry or overreach.
