Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4 ℞

The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.13°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
