People have been intrigued by stars and their influence on human existence since the beginning of time. Astrology is an ancient practice of using the meaning of the planet and their mutual influence to determine someone’s destiny and their character.

Planetary charts are cast for the exact time of someone’s birth or some event to determine the possible outcome of that event or that person’s future.

The natal chart represents the chart of the planetary placements at the time of birth or the time of an event.

By interpreting the placements of the planets in different signs and houses of the natal chart as well as the aspects they make between themselves, a lot of information can be extracted about some person’s traits and destiny as well as other facts about events, relationships, etc.

The aspects between planets are essential in doing this interpretation. Aspects are relationships between planets that form when the planets are at a certain distance from each other.

The energy between the planets created by these aspects can have different meanings depending on the nature of the aspect (good or bad). Aspects can also be major and minor.

The main aspects are more significant than minor aspects but minor can also be as important if the aspect is exact.

The major aspects are sextile, opposition, square, conjunction, and trine.

Sextile Aspect

The sextile is a good and harmonious aspect. Sextiles are similar aspects to trines and have similar meanings and influence.

Sextiles help the planets demonstrate their true and best nature and help them interact with one another instead of blocking their energy. The sextile allows cooperation between planets.

The areas which are ruled by the planets forming a sextile are the ones where the person can benefit most from. The energy of these planets easily flows and creates a lot of opportunities for progress and accomplishing ones’ goals.

Contrary to beneficial aspects, negative aspects tend to block the planetary energy and create obstacles and delays in accomplishing goals and desires. The planets cannot interact and their energy is deflated.

The sextile is an aspect formed when the planets are 60 degrees apart. The orb for this aspect is 5 +/- degrees, and that makes this aspect effective when the planets are at a distance between 55 and 65 degrees.

Sextiles are formed by planets in complementary elements, which are fire and air and earth and water.

Sextiles create opportunities, talents, and skills in different areas related to the signs and houses where the planets are placed.

This aspect is good and gives the person a lot of advantages, but it can also make the person lazy and destroy their ambition.

The main reason for that is the fact that the sextile gives the person a lot of opportunities to fulfill their desires and goals, and they don’t really have to put in a lot of effort to achieve anything.

Things seem to come to them effortlessly and that causes them to miss a lot of chances, become ungrateful, and waste a lot of time.

People with predominant negative aspects tend to be more ambitious and put a lot more action into achieving their goals, seizing opportunities they come across because they know that opportunities don’t come easy to them.

In transits, the sextile aspect often brings new opportunities and chances to fulfill the person’s desires.

It also creates chances for meeting new people and significant encounters that might help accomplish some desires or develop skills and talents.
