Aspects
Arethusa Decile Mercury
You have a light knack for stepping back into your own mental sanctuary, an easy mental retreat where ideas can stay unviolated by other people's noise. It clears your head fast. Let that effortless gift for inner quiet sharpen your thinking, and return from it with something to give.
Lean in — Slip into quiet reflection to clarify, then come back with it.
Watch for — Use private reflection as an excuse to never answer.

- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of the protected source and the thinking mind as an inner dynamic of keeping one's own counsel.
