Aspects
Arethusa Semi-Square Mars
A low friction sits between your urge to flee a challenge to stay free and your will to stand and fight for what you want. It shows up as energy that starts then aborts. Adjust by staying in one contest you would normally avoid, and prove to yourself that confrontation will not cost you your freedom.
Lean in — Stand in one fight you would usually run from.
Watch for — Flee every challenge and call it preserving yourself.

- 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 drive as an inner dynamic of flight chosen as wise strategy.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-square as low-grade hard tension that seeks release through small adjustments.
