Exploration
Definition
Exploration is the Identity group of venturing into the unknown — the four postures of consciousness facing uncertainty. The Emperor (Order) claims it, the Hermit (Discipline) walks into it, Death (Change) surrenders to it, the Moon (Imagination) lives in it.
The Exploration Cycle: claim sovereignty over the question, walk into claimed territory alone, what you find transforms you, the Moon’s reflective pool shows what the old you couldn’t see.
