Aspects
Mars Trine Pholus
Your drive and the catalytic Pholus principle flow together, so you can act decisively to break a stuck situation open without it blowing up in your face. You sense when a single well-aimed move will release what is jammed, and you make it cleanly, getting things moving without wreckage. Drive and catalysis are allies here, so your force tends to free rather than destroy. Because it comes so naturally, the only risk is underusing it or growing careless with how much one act can stir. Used with awareness, this is the rare ability to be the decisive spark that opens a stuck situation and lets it finally flow.
Lean in — Use one well-aimed move to free what is genuinely jammed.
Watch for — Grow careless with how much a single act can stir.
