Aspects
Mercury Semi-Square Pales
A low-grade friction runs between the Pales theme and your mind, so practical care can tip into fussing, a managing mind that hovers over every detail of those in its keeping. The irritation asks you to tend with a lighter touch. Give your charges sound guidance without overseeing their every move.
Lean in — Give sound guidance without overseeing every move.
Watch for — Hover and correct every small thing the flock does.
