Quick meaning: what ♄ in ♈ teaches

♈ wants to start. ♄ wants a plan.

Together, they ask:

• Where do you need stronger self-trust?
• What goal requires consistent effort, not hype?
• Where are you acting from fear (or ego) instead of courage?
• What boundary protects your energy so you can lead?

Think of this transit like strength training. Small reps. Often.
