Aspects
Mercury Semi-Square Nessus
A low-grade friction runs between your mind and the Nessus theme, so words can become weapons, or denial can keep the harm unspoken. The irritation asks you to use language to clarify, not to retaliate or hide. Speak the truth to free it, not to wound back.
Lean in — Use your words to tell the truth, not to retaliate.
Watch for — Turn language into a weapon or a wall of denial.
