An easy, friendly interaction: an ability you need to recognize and put to use.
Sextile – 60°
The sextile is a gentle, harmonious aspect. Unlike a trine, which works on its own, a sextile is more like an open door. The opportunity is there, but you have to step through it. It's a useful tool within reach, rather than a gift that does the work for you.
People with prominent sextiles often underestimate this ability precisely because it comes easily, yet won't show itself without action. Once you get started, the planets respond willingly, without resistance.
A sextile has an orb of about 4–6°.
