Aspects
Mercury Quincunx Sappho
Your lyric, poetic way with words never quite fits plain communication, so you keep adjusting between artful expression and getting to the point. The gift is a voice that makes language beautiful. The shadow is dressing simple things in too much ornament. Keep tuning between poetry and plain speech.
Lean in — Bring beauty to words without over-ornamenting.
Watch for — Dress simple things in too much ornament.
