Aspects
Arethusa Semi-Square Chiron
A low friction sits between the old wound that keeps you fleeing and the longing to finally feel safe enough to stay. It surfaces as restlessness right where safety was almost possible. Adjust by staying one moment past the point your wound says to run, and let new evidence of safety reach you.
Lean in — Stay one beat past where the wound says to run.
Watch for — Let an old wound prove forever that nowhere is safe.

- 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 violated spring and the wound as an inner dynamic of healing what keeps you fleeing.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-square as low-grade hard tension that seeks release through small adjustments.
