Hmm the shadow makes things extremely interesting - yet another layer of understanding is added.
I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to launching particular things - though based on what I've read about mercury retrograde, and a bit of lacking that I still feel, I'll continue to do the work internally and not particularly decide to launch anything.
For extra context to anyone interested - I'm maybe similar to @bigtom13 above, I'm considering launching a few written projects, though I know I'm not completely satisfied with them, I still want to get them going, because I'm pretty sick of not really putting out anything at all. However, what I think I might maybe decide to do possibly, is continue to do this work, do the writing, explore it in full and continue to view it objectively to see improvements - ultimately I think it is better to do the work than to not, but for now I will avoid launching it (making it public) - this is my way of continuing to explore internally and hopefully come out of it with an impressive amount of stuff that can either be repurposed, or confidently left behind as something given that I've explored it, but know it wasn't what I was after.
