Arethusa in the 1st House
Arethusa in your 1st house makes the instinct for refuge and self-preservation part of who you are. You come across as someone who guards a deep inner source and can transform to protect your nature. The gift is a self-protective, resilient presence; the work is to let others near your source rather than always presenting the protected surface.
Lean in — Guard your true source while letting trusted others near.
Watch for — Always present a protected surface and hide the source.
