Metis
Metis, an asteroid named for the Titaness of wisdom and cunning, first wife of Zeus, is read in modern astrology as the asteroid of practical wisdom and cunning intelligence, sound counsel, and the deep knowing that is sometimes swallowed or overlooked. Read Metis by its sign, house, and aspects to find where this principle works in the chart.
Lean in — Work consciously with Metis's theme of wisdom, cunning, and good counsel where it falls.
