You can lead a person to truth, but you can’t make him think.
~ James Ricklef
Just as the basilisk changes color as it begins to transform from serpent to eagle, so it takes time to develop from a person with a lot of thoughts to become a discerning individual. There is a difference between making a misstep and automatically thinking "I'm worthless" instead of realizing a mistake was made and restitution or amends need to be made. When the passion of Venus meets up with the adventure-loving Sagittarius, thinking can go in two directions as well - have fun and damn the consequences or have fun that won't cause blowback. It's like finding a new hobby you're passionate about and spending a bunch of money or being more judicious with your purchases until you see how long this love affair will last. A pause between thoughts with a long-range perspective can give ideas time to mature.
