Aspects
Mars Quincunx Neptune
How you concretely act and what inspires or moves you do not naturally line up, so you keep adjusting between getting things done and waiting for the muse. It can feel like the doer and the dreamer are never the same. The work is treating that adjustment as a skill, a hard-won sense of when to push and when to surrender to inspiration. At your best you become unusually good at marrying real effort to genuine vision.
Lean in — Learn when to push and when to surrender to inspiration.
Watch for — Keep splitting the doer from the dreamer in you.
