Aspects
Karma Semi-Square Mercury
A low friction runs between your thoughts and a habit of replaying what went wrong, attributing too much of the present to old missteps. It chafes as second-guessing rather than clear thinking. When the replay starts, extract the one lesson and close the loop, because the rest is just the mind paying interest on a settled debt.
Lean in — Take the lesson, then stop the replay.
Watch for — Do not credit every mistake with lasting power.

- 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 cause traced to effect and the thinking mind as an inner dynamic of learning the lesson a pattern keeps teaching.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-square as low-grade hard tension that seeks release through small adjustments.
