Aspects
Neptune Opposition Pallas
The line between true insight and wishful illusion tends to get drawn through your relationships. You may idealize teachers and advisers, or attract people who confuse and mislead even as they inspire, and shared plans can dissolve into vagueness or quiet deception. It becomes hard to tell visionary from deluded when another mind is in the mix. The work is discernment: test inspiring ideas and inspiring people against reality, keep your own perception clear in the presence of someone else's fog, and let intuition guide without surrendering your judgment to it.
Lean in — Test inspiring ideas and people against reality before you commit.
Watch for — Surrender your judgment to a compelling but foggy vision.
