The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.39°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

☽ Moon ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.08°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
