Aspects
Eris Semi-Sextile Mercury
The Eris theme and your thinking mind sit a step apart, so a quiet willingness to name the unwelcome truth can grow between them, a resource you develop into a voice that says what others deny. You can put the hidden thing into words. Let your words name the truth that needs an outsider to say it, with aim.
Lean in — Let your words name the truth others avoid, with aim.
Watch for — Stir conflict with words for the sake of the conflict.

- Tarnas, Cosmos and Psyche (2006)Gives the archetypal field of Eris, discord and the unwelcome truth and the excluded one who demands her rightful place.
- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of disruptive truth and the thinking mind as an inner dynamic of naming what others deny.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
