Sextile

60° · harmonious

A sixty-degree opening — easy possibility that waits to be taken up.

The sextile sets two planets sixty degrees apart, in a relationship of gentle compatibility. It is harmonious but quiet — an open door rather than a current that pulls. The two bodies cooperate readily, offering talent, opportunity, and the chance for one to support the other. Yet the sextile asks to be engaged; its gift lies latent until something draws it out. It is potential held in reserve, a help available to whoever reaches for it.
