Aspects
Mars Sesquiquadrate Nessus
A simmering friction runs between your drive and your charged relationship to power and harm, prodding you to confront the misuse of force, often with an edge. The gift is a refusal to let abuse stand. The shadow is aggression that repeats the harm. Let the prompt move you to confront abuse without becoming it.
Lean in — Confront abuse without becoming it.
Watch for — Repeat the harm in your aggression.
