Aspects
Pales Semi-Sextile Sun
The Pales theme of pastoral care sits just beside your core identity, lending a quiet instinct to tend and protect whatever is in your keeping, a resource you grow into when you trust it. Looking after your own becomes part of who you are. Let your care steady the self you are building without making caretaking your whole identity.
Lean in — Let your care steady you without becoming all you are.
Watch for — Reduce yourself to the one who only ever tends others.

- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of pastoral care and the core self as an inner dynamic of the steward who tends what is in their keeping.
