Aspects
Arethusa Septile Mars
Something compulsive runs through your drive, an almost destined reflex to run from confrontation before it starts, as if escape were written into you. It fires faster than thought. Catch it before it acts, ask whether this is danger or just discomfort, and let yourself stand when standing is safe.
Lean in — Catch the flight reflex before it moves your feet.
Watch for — Let an ancient escape reflex run your whole life.

Sources
- 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 septile as a seventh-harmonic aspect of fated, inspired, almost compulsive pull.
