Sextile

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In astrology, a sextile is an aspect that is made when two planets or other celestial bodies are 60 degrees apart. A sextile is considered to be highly benefic, being the sixth harmonic of the 360 degree zodiac. Because the sextile is the sixth harmonic of the circle, it takes on many of the qualities of the planet Venus, therefore bringing many opportunities to the native.

An example of an aspect would be the Sun in 10 degrees Aquarius forming a sextile to Mars in 10 degrees Aries. In such an instance the native might have a great deal of energy and enthusiasm that he could use to make friends and advance himself.
