Aspects
Egeria Semi-Sextile Mercury
A quiet talent for finding the words that steer a person well sits just beside your everyday thinking, a resource you draw on more than you realize. You can phrase advice so it lands softly and changes a course. Just remember to use that same articulate mind to name where you yourself are going.
Lean in — Speak your own direction, not only theirs.
Watch for — Only ever advise, never declare.

- George, Asteroid Goddesses (1986)Reads Egeria by her myth, Roman water nymph and prophetic counselor to King Numa who dissolved into a spring in grief, as a point of wise guidance behind the scenes, nourishing inspiration, and the risk of losing oneself in another.
- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of wise counsel and the speaking mind as an inner dynamic of words that guide a leader yet rarely name one's own direction.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
