I went to a brilliant esoteric astrologer the other day – William Meader – and he commented that my chart indicated a characteristic of solid persistence that was very significant and well aspected (a good thing). I responded that my partner considers that both my greatest strength and my biggest weakness.

That comment had me pondering about the fact that we all have at least one talent or attribute that is also our Achilles heel…. The kryptonite to our Superpower unless we really know ourself and our strengths and weaknesses and direct them positively in our life.

My persistence is generally useful, occasionally I can be a bit obsessive but I do my best to direct it in useful ways. On the whole, I enjoy it. I might prefer to be faster than a speeding train (at least on those mornings I wake a little late) but you get that!

So my question is what is your superpower; and how well do you manage it?
