Aspects
Mars Septile Pholus
There is a faint, fated, almost compulsive thread between your drive and the catalytic principle, an urge to act that, once loosed, sets off far more than you chose. The decisive move feels destined. Honor the catalyst without unleashing a force you cannot then govern.
Lean in — Honor the decisive act without unleashing the ungovernable.
Watch for — Loose an action whose consequences you cannot govern.
