Positions
Pallas in Aries
With Pallas in Aries, your creative intelligence is direct and pioneering: you see the opening, grasp the plan in a flash, and would rather move than deliberate. Strategy here is offensive, initiating, willing to lead with an untested idea. The gift is the courage to think first and the knack for cutting through to the decisive move. The shadow is impatience that skips the longer pattern and a mind that argues to win. The growth is pairing the fast strike with a little more of the long view. At your best you see the bold move others are afraid to name.
Lean in — Lead with the bold idea, then check it against the longer pattern.
Watch for — Mistake winning the argument for finding the truth.
