Aspects
Arethusa Semi-Sextile Sun
Just beside your sense of self runs a small protected spring, an inner place no pursuit can touch, and you can draw on it quietly when you remember it is there. It steadies you without announcing itself. Treat that private source as a resource for the self you are building, and let it feed you rather than hide you.
Lean in — Visit your private source on purpose, then return to people refreshed.
Watch for — Let the quiet hideaway become a reason to vanish.

- 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 core self as an inner dynamic of guarding one's freedom.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
