Aspects
Mars Quintile Sun
The quintile, seventy-two degrees and prized by Kepler, is a subtle aspect of talent. Between your identity and your drive it gives a creative, almost artful way of taking action: a knack for finding the inventive move, the clever application of force. It is quiet and rewards development. The growth is actually using it. At your best you apply energy with a creative precision others find hard to copy.
Lean in — Develop the creative knack for action; it stays quiet otherwise.
Watch for — Leave the inventive drive unused because it came easy.
