Aspects
Mercury Sesquiquadrate Pallas
A simmering friction runs between ordinary thought and your strategic mind, prodding you to find the clever solution, often where none is needed. The gift is a mind that will not rest until the pattern is solved. The shadow is arguing to win rather than to find the truth. Let the prompt move you to solve real problems, not to score points.
Lean in — Solve real problems, not to score points.
Watch for — Argue to win rather than to find the truth.
