Aspects
Midheaven Square Nemesis
Your drive to climb rubs hard against an instinct that the climb must be paid for, so you sabotage your own ascent or invite the very downfall you fear. Pride at the peak summons its own leveling. Watch for the moment you overclaim, and trade the boom-and-bust for steady, earned advancement.
Lean in — Earn each step of the climb so success has nothing to repay.
Watch for — Do not court the downfall by overclaiming at the top of your rise.
- self-sabotage
- ambition
- hubris
