When you’re stuck in repetitive patterns, making the same mistakes over and over, there may be lack of awareness difficulty in learning from past experiences, leading to a sense of stagnation, or trapped in unproductive cycles.

The positive quality promotes the ability to learn from experiences and break free from repetitive patterns, become more observant, self-aware and open to personal growth.

People whose thoughts dwell in the future. Clematis people are often imaginative and creative and love to dream. We take the remedy when our focus on the future or on alternative realities means we lose interest in the present.
