A dry match rests in your palm, an inch from a wick you have circled for weeks without striking. The north node is not a planet but the direction your chart leans into, the unfamiliar ground that grows you the moment you move on it. Mars wants to act, to cut one clean line and go, and here it leaves a gap onto that pull. The drive to begin is right there in your hand, waiting on the strike. Pick the smallest first move toward the new ground and the heat answers, no drag, no warming up. It will not light on its own. You bring the choice. The spark is on offer. Lean a little and it catches, and the wick takes.
