Aspects
Chiron Semi-Sextile Icarus
Just beside an old wound around daring lives a quiet capacity to fly within your limits and to mentor others toward brave, safe flight. It is a resource for turning a past fall into hard-won wisdom. Draw on it to reach again, this time with the caution the crash taught you.
Lean in — Fly again within the limits you have learned.
Watch for — Let one fall ground you for good.

- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of the fall and the wound that teaches as an inner dynamic of healing the fear that follows a crash.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
