Aspects
Mercury Sesquiquadrate Sappho
A simmering friction runs between ordinary talk and your poetic voice, prodding you to make words beautiful, often when plainness would serve. The gift is an instinct for the lyric phrase. The shadow is preciousness. Let the prompt move you to write and speak with beauty that also lands.
Lean in — Write and speak with beauty that also lands.
Watch for — Slip into precious over-refinement.
