Arethusa in the 7th House
Arethusa in your 7th house brings the theme of refuge and flight to relationship. You may seek a partner as sanctuary, or flee bonds that pressure your true nature, echoing the nymph and her pursuer. The gift is the wisdom to protect your nature within partnership; the work is to stay and be known rather than fleeing intimacy that feels like pursuit.
Lean in — Protect your true nature within a safe partnership.
Watch for — Flee every intimacy that feels like pursuit.
