Aspects
Mars Semi-Sextile Nessus
The Nessus theme and your drive sit a step apart, so an awareness of how force can harm or protect can quietly guide your actions, a resource you grow into power used cleanly. You learn to act with strength that does not wound. Let your drive protect rather than dominate.
Lean in — Let your drive protect rather than dominate.
Watch for — Use your force the way it was once used against you.
