Aspects
Mercury Semi-Square Victoria
A nagging friction sits between your reasoning and your urge to prevail, tempting you to score the point even when it costs the truth. It prods you toward a small but real adjustment. Catch yourself reaching for the win, ask what is actually correct, and let being right matter more than sounding right.
Lean in — Ask what is true before you reach for the winning point.
Watch for — Do not defend a position just to avoid losing the exchange.
