Aspects
Arethusa Semi-Sextile Mercury
Adjacent to your everyday thought runs a quiet, protected spring of inner reflection that you keep to yourself, a private mental source you can draw from. It feeds your thinking without needing an audience. Use that reserve of unspoken thought as a steady resource, sharing from it on your own terms.
Lean in — Keep a private channel of thought you draw from before you speak.
Watch for — Let keeping your own counsel slide into telling no one anything.

- George, Asteroid Goddesses (1986)Reads Arethusa by her myth, the nymph turned into a pure underground spring to escape the river-god's pursuit, as a point of the protected source, flight to preserve one's freedom, and transformation under pressure.
- 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.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
