Aspects
Mercury Semi-Square Pallas
A low-grade friction runs between your strategic mind and plain clarity, so cleverness can overcomplicate what wanted to be simple. The irritation prods you to cut to the essential pattern. Solve the real problem, not the elaborate one you built.
Lean in — Cut to the essential pattern instead of overbuilding.
Watch for — Let clever complexity bury a simple, clear answer.
