Figure 8.23 summarises the effects of the signs of ∆H and ∆S on ∆G, and hence on the spontaneity of physical and chemical events.

"Anger is not simply an emotion. It is a highly evolved biological process and a deeply personal experience. Rather than judging, stifling, or fearing our anger, we should turn toward it and listen carefully. We should notice what it does to our bodies. And, once we have taken the vital pause to allow those signals to ease, we can put our cerebral cortex in the driver’s seat and interrogate our anger, asking what is wrong and deciding what action is or is not called for in this socio-cultural context.

Sometimes it even scares me, the very way I function - the spontaneity is quite reckless...

Request for reading: How spontaneous is he, e.g. in relationships? On one hand, he appears to be this boy-like carefree character, not following usual conventional life paths. On the other hand, he seems to be quite rigid on what and how he wants to achieve it. How much spontaneity is there left in his life according to cards?
Hello! That is an interesting question, specially after today’s perfume story. 🤭🤭🤭 I did a few pulls to see what the cards would show about his spontaneity in life and relationships. The first pull was the Knight of Teacups, 6 of Teacups and Page of Teacups.
So the Knight of Teacups is a charming and emotional gentleman, he is very creative, artistic and expressive, while the 6 of Teacups is linked to the past, nostalgia and childhood. He might have the spontaneity of a child, with the creativity and expression of an emotional artist. The Page of Teacups represents a loving, caring and innocent dreamer, he’s an idealist but naive, with his head in the clouds. He’s emotional and sensitive but like a child. Honestly it makes me think of the Knight and the 6 of Teacups combined. He’s spontaneous because he’s an idealist.
The second pull was The Tower, 8 of Hedgehogs and 8 of Spears. Well, The Tower has spontaneity to it because it speaks of a radical and unexpected change, like lightning striking a Tower. It’s more aggressive in a way, like he’s got this part of him that is rather unpredictable more than spontaneous. The next cards, however, put some breaks to it because the 8 of Hedgehogs is about diligent work, stable, steady, the work you put in every day to learn something new, to make something work, and the 8 of Spears represents being trapped, limited, restricted. It’s like he might have a tendency for being impulsive and radical, but he also knows some situations require hard work and persistence and investment, so he could feel more restricted or limit himself in certain cases and hold back because, you know, he’s not completely insane.
The last pull was The Star, 6 of Spears and The Sun. Okay, so The Star is the card of faith and hope, of staying strong and optimistic about life and whatever it is you have to do. 6 of Spears is about feeling peaceful after a period of struggling and going through rough waters. The Sun represents joy, warmth, passion, and it might point to him acting a lot “in the heat of the moment” in certain situations. So he’s always been very hopeful about things when he acts spontaneously, like he just goes with all the optimism he’s got without thinking much, and no matter what happens he handles it, it’s like he needs to be impulsive or spontaneous and do what he wants because that will make him feel more relieved when he does, so whatever the outcome, it was worth it. That’s why he might be one to act in the heat of the moment very often.
As you can see, there are several cards pointing to him being very spontaneous still in his relationships (of all kinds), but there is some holding back and limiting himself too in the second pull, which means he is impulsive but he does have some self-control.
