Aspects
Mercury Quincunx Pallas
Your pattern-perceiving, strategic mind never quite fits ordinary, linear thinking, so you keep adjusting between the grand design and the next plain step. The gift is seeing the whole system at once. The shadow is overcomplicating the simple. Keep tuning when to deploy the strategy and when to just take the obvious step.
Lean in — Deploy strategy when it helps, take the simple step when it does not.
Watch for — Overcomplicate what is simple.
