Aspects
Mercury Semi-Sextile Pomona
The Pomona theme and your thinking mind sit a step apart, so a quiet, patient cultivation can enter how you think, a resource you grow into a mind that tends an idea, prunes it, and lets it ripen into something worth picking. You develop a thought slowly and well. Let your mind cultivate ideas to fruit without pruning them down to nothing.
Lean in — Let your mind cultivate ideas to fruit, not prune to nothing.
Watch for — Edit and fuss an idea until nothing of it remains.

- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of cultivation and the thinking mind as an inner dynamic of ideas pruned to fruitfulness.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
