Sphinx as a factor to be considered

Sphinx as a factor to be considered: The Sphinx suggests discrete observation. If it appears in this position on your reading, it suggests that there is someone involved (is it you?) who knows more than they hear, but who keeps that information to themselves until the time is right.
Because of this, the Sphinx is associated with the ability to keep secrets, but at the same time manage to wheedle them out of other people. Is that something that you need to bear in mind?
Another aspect of the Sphinx is that it represents our equality with the other animals, and thus it includes the love of animals. It also holds the energy of secrecy, observation, and patience.
