Aspects
Mars Semi-Square Sun
This minor hard aspect, forty-five degrees, sets a recurring low-grade friction between who you are and how you assert: a tendency to bristle, to push at the wrong moment, to feel needled into action. It rarely blows up; it chafes. Used well, that chafe becomes grit, the small constant push that gets hard things done. The growth is reading the irritation as fuel. At your best you turn a chronic minor agitation into persistence.
Lean in — Read the bristle as fuel, then aim it at the work.
Watch for — Let the needled feeling start fights that cost you.
