Aspects
Metis Opposition Midheaven
Metis opposite your Midheaven stretches your practical cunning along the axis between public role and private foundation, so the clever effort you spend on your standing keeps pulling against your need for rooted rest. Each domain wants your shrewdness. Balance the drive to advise and strategize in the world with the quiet wisdom of tending your own base.
Lean in — Balance the strategy you give the world with care for your roots.
Watch for — Pour all your cleverness into status and starve your home life.
