Aspects
Atropos Semi-Sextile Moon
The Atropos theme of completing what is over rests just beside your emotional instinct, lending a quiet ability to mourn fully and then let the feeling rest. Over time you learn that grief done well becomes a kind of peace. Let this gentle capacity for clean grieving accompany your moods, and feel a loss all the way through.
Lean in — Let yourself grieve all the way through, then let the feeling rest.
Watch for — Rush past a sorrow before it has finished moving through you.

- George, Asteroid Goddesses (1986)Reads Atropos by her myth, the Inflexible among the three Fates who cuts the thread of life with her shears, as a point of endings, finality, the irreversible, and the necessity of letting go.
- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of endings and emotional instinct as an inner dynamic of letting go and grieving clean.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
