Aspects
Karma Semi-Square Mars
A low friction runs between your impulse to act and a reactive pattern that keeps reigniting the same conflict in new clothes. It shows up as a familiar flare of temper that solves nothing. Catch the flare as it rises and choose the unfamiliar response, since one different move can end the loop.
Lean in — Choose the response you have never tried.
Watch for — Do not answer an old fight with the same old swing.

- Forrest, The Inner Sky (1984)Reads Karma by its plain modern sense rather than classical myth, naming the working of cause and consequence, the patterns we carry, and the chance to grow past them.
- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of an action's return and raw drive as an inner dynamic of breaking a reactive cycle before it repeats.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-square as low-grade hard tension that seeks release through small adjustments.
