Aspects
Icarus Semi-Sextile Mars
Just beside your driving energy lives a streak of bold daring, a quiet resource that lends courage to attempt the thing others call impossible. It does not run the show, but it is there when your will needs extra nerve. Reach for it when boldness, not caution, is what the moment requires.
Lean in — Summon extra nerve for the worthy attempt.
Watch for — Charge ahead with no plan but the dare.

- George, Asteroid Goddesses (1986)Reads Icarus by its namesake, the youth who flew too close to the sun, as a point of daring flight, liberation, and the recklessness that risks the fall.
- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of reckless flight and the driving will as an inner dynamic of bold action that ignores its own limits.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
