Aspects
Mars Semi-Sextile Pales
The Pales theme and your drive sit a step apart, so a quiet, protective fierceness can guide your action, a resource you grow into the will to defend and shield what is in your keeping. You move to guard your own. Let your drive protect your charges without herding and controlling the people you defend.
Lean in — Let your drive guard your own without herding them.
Watch for — Use force to herd and control those you protect.

- George, Asteroid Goddesses (1986)Reads Pales by myth, the Roman guardian of shepherds and flocks honored at the Parilia, as a point of pastoral care, husbandry, and the nurture and protection of what is in one's keeping.
- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of the shepherd's guard and drive as an inner dynamic of defending the flock in one's charge.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
