The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.04°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.34°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.93°
