Here the visionary faculty is on offer rather than in charge. The native can picture something that does not exist and, unusually, can also describe the first three steps towards it, which is why this contact turns up in the charts of people who run charities competently rather than merely feel strongly about them. Kindness is instinctive but not indiscriminate. There is a good ear for music, ritual and atmosphere, and a steady undercurrent of belief that most situations will come right.
Unused, it presents as an amiable temperament and nothing more. Many people carry this aspect all their lives without noticing it, since it produces no crisis and makes no demands. The way to wake it is to give something away on a schedule: regular teaching, regular giving, regular hours at the easel or the piano. The aspect responds to habit far better than to inspiration, which is a paradox worth stating plainly, because inspiration is what its owners usually wait for.
The cost, when there is one, is a mild credulity. This native gives the benefit of the doubt as a reflex and is not always repaid, though the losses are seldom ruinous. Because Jupiter and Neptune come to this angle for a year or so at a time, a whole cohort holds it, and what makes it individual is the house it occupies and any personal planet it touches. Where it aspects the Moon or Venus it produces real charm; where it stands alone, it produces a decent person nobody thinks to describe.
