Aspects
Mercury Semi-Sextile Pholus
Your catalytic nature and your thinking mind sit a step apart, so a quiet sense of the word that opens things can grow between them, a resource you develop into speech that frees what was stuck. A small remark can shift a great deal. Let your words open what is ready, with care.
Lean in — Let your words open what is stuck, chosen with care.
Watch for — Throw out remarks heedless of what they may set off.
