Aspects
Egeria Semi-Sextile Neptune
A subtle capacity to be a source of inspiration for others sits just beside your own imagination, a resource you grow into when you trust it. People come away from you carrying images and hope they did not arrive with. Keep some of that spring for your own inner life, so you are not forever the water others drink while you go dry.
Lean in — Feed others' dreams and keep some water back.
Watch for — Let everyone drink the spring but you.

Sources
- 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 nourishing inspiration and the imagination as an inner dynamic of the spring others drink from.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
