Sextile
Sixty degrees — an opportunity that has to be taken up to do anything.
- Angle

- Orb used here
- ±5°
- Temper
- usually easy — and easy to leave unused
A sextile links two signs of compatible elements — fire with air, earth with water — and the two planets cooperate willingly. It is the friendliest of the aspects and the easiest to waste.
Where a trine tends to happen on its own, a sextile is a door left unlocked: the talent is available, and nothing forces you through it. This site allows five degrees of orb here, tighter than the others, because a wide sextile is faint enough to be noise.
Aspects between planets are listed under every chart cast here, tightest first — an aspect within a degree of exact does far more work than one at the edge of its orb.
