Aspects
Chiron Semi-Sextile Pomona
The Pomona theme and a deep wound sit a step apart, so an old hurt around neglect, scarcity, or growth that was never tended can quietly meet your gift for cultivation, a resource that, tended, becomes a gift for helping others' lives ripen. What went untended in you can teach you to tend well. Let the old wound deepen your care without driving you to over-prune from fear of waste.
Lean in — Let your old hurt deepen your care without fearful over-pruning.
Watch for — Over-tend or wall off from an old wound of scarcity.

- George, Asteroid Goddesses (1986)Reads Pomona by her myth, Roman goddess of orchards and fruit and tender of the walled garden won by Vertumnus, as a point of devoted cultivation, ripening care, and the abundance that follows patient tending.
- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of the orchard and the wound as an inner dynamic of the neglected garden and its healing.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
