Aspects
Mars Opposition Pallas
Your urge to act directly and your urge to plan and out-think sit across from each other, and the friction often arrives through others, the headstrong and the coldly tactical alike. You may strategize until you never strike, or charge in and waste the advantage your intelligence gave you, swinging between the two. The resolution is balance, not choice: let your strategy give your drive a direction and your drive give your strategy the nerve to execute, so thinking and acting face each other and combine into intelligent force rather than canceling out.
Lean in — Let strategy aim the drive and drive execute the strategy.
Watch for — Plan until you never strike, or strike and waste the plan.
