You floor the pedal of want and something in the same second stamps the brake. Your Part of Fortune, a calculated point your chart reads by its day or night sect, stands square to Mars, the two locked at right angles and pulling against the grain: the drive wants to launch, what thrives in you wants a slower tempo, and that friction has taught you to fight for your well-being instead of around it. You have forced where life was already arriving on its own. You have pushed into your own contentment and called it progress. Out of the strain comes a courage that knows how to take its measure. Every time the craving outran what was already holding you up, you hammered another beam into your embodied joy.
