Aspects
Nessus Trine Sun
The Nessus principle flows easily through your sense of self, so you handle power, boundaries, and the potential for harm with an unusual cleanness, neither abusing your influence nor surrendering to others'. You sense where a harmful pattern wants to repeat and step out of it without much drama, and you can help others end cycles too. Identity and the wise use of power are allies here. Because it comes so naturally, the only risk is taking the integrity for granted or underusing your gift for healing harm. Used with awareness, this is the rare ability to hold power responsibly and to be, quietly, the one in whom an old cycle of harm finally rests.
Lean in — Hold power responsibly and help old cycles of harm rest.
Watch for — Take your clean relationship to power for granted.
