Aspects
Pallas Opposition True Node
With Pallas set against the North Node, and so resting near the South Node of the past, a particular way of using your mind is deeply practiced and easy to fall back on, perhaps proving you are the smartest in the room, or solving everything alone with strategy. It is a real gift, but leaning on it too hard keeps you from the growth your North Node wants. The pull is to over-rely on cleverness, detachment, or being right. The way forward is not to abandon your intelligence but to aim it differently: think in service of where you are going, let others contribute, and let wisdom matter more than winning the point.
Lean in — Aim your intelligence toward growth, not toward being right.
Watch for — Lean on cleverness because it is the familiar, safe move.
