Aspects
Mercury Semi-Square Pomona
A low-grade friction runs between the Pomona theme and your mind, so the care to cultivate a thought can tip into endless over-pruning, fussing and editing an idea so long it never gets harvested or shared. The irritation asks you to know when a thought is ripe. Tend your thinking, then pick it, rather than pruning it forever.
Lean in — Tend your thinking, then pick it, rather than pruning forever.
Watch for — Over-prune an idea until it never gets shared.
