The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.02°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.03°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.48°

♄ Saturn ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.57°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
