Aspects
Mars Semi-Square Nessus
A low-grade friction runs between your drive and the Nessus theme, so anger and force can slip into the very patterns of harm you know from the inside. The irritation asks you to channel your strength without abusing it. Use your power to defend, never to repay harm with harm.
Lean in — Channel your force to protect, not to repay harm.
Watch for — Wield your strength as it was once wielded on you.
