Aspects
Mars Semi-Square Pales
A low-grade friction runs between your drive and the Pales theme, so the urge to protect can tip into herding, defending your charges so forcefully that you control their every move for their own good. The irritation asks you to shield without corralling. Protect what is in your keeping while letting it move on its own.
Lean in — Protect your charges while letting them move freely.
Watch for — Corral the people you protect for their own good.
