Aspects
Mars Conjunction Nessus
Your drive and the Nessus principle are fused, so your assertion, anger, and desire are charged with the question of power and its misuse. You can act forcefully to defend the wronged and end cycles of harm, but the same energy can overstep, dominate, or wound if it runs unconscious. There may be inherited patterns of aggression or violation that move through your action. The gift is the strength to fight harm and break the cycle. The shadow is becoming the aggressor, crossing others' boundaries, or turning fury into the very harm you hate. Let your force protect and end harm rather than perpetuate it, with a careful watch on where your power lands.
Lean in — Let your force end harm and protect, watching where power lands.
Watch for — Become the aggressor, or turn fury into the harm you hate.
