Venus sextile Mars: Open your mouth first and the road will follow

4 min read

There is only a beginning between love and action: Venus sextile Mars allows the goodwill of Venus and the push of Mars to communicate with each other. You turn the key first, and the rest will be smooth.

Indicative chart: Venus and Mars are 60 degrees apart and form a sextile. The two planets fall in elements that communicate with each other. The aspect line draws a path that needs to be actively opened.Schematic, not a real chart

The core of Venus sextile Mars: one sentence version

sextile is a 60-degree cooperation aspect: goodwill and thrust are built between interoperable elements. The translation cost is low, but the switch is in your hand - it does not operate automatically like trine, nor does it force you to deal with it like hard aspect. The resources in this grid often stop quietly in place, waiting for you to make the first move before the entire road is connected.

What do the two planets want?

Venus wants to turn what you like into your daily life: beautiful objects, pleasant relationships, and money worth spending. Mars wants to put what he wants to do on the front line: goals, competition, and current efforts. Sextile allows two sets of signals to support each other - you are proactive when you show kindness, and you are appreciative when you strike, and the two rarely get in the way. The difference is only in activation: unless someone presses it first, this line will just exist silently.

The feeling of soft aspect: three specific scenes

  1. You are most likely to accept invitations from others, and accept them beautifully - the response itself carries clear likes and dislikes.
  2. Halfway through the cooperation, you will suddenly realize that this is exactly what you want to do, and your energy will rise.
  3. For those who are interested, your first sentence often naturally leads to the next step of arrangements, and the ending is not awkward.

Immature version and mature version

The immature sextile is to let the opportunities stop there: the things you want to do are listed together, and the box to move is always left blank. Looking back in a few years, all the opportunities that could be started back then are still there. The mature version turns startup into a habit - register first, send messages first, enter the venue first, so that the contacts between Venus and Mars are powered on as usual. This aspect does not start for you, it only ensures that it will not be difficult for you to move on after you start.

Orb and priority: 60 degrees, natal practice within 4 degrees

natal’s sextileorb captures 4 degrees, which is the narrowest among the six combinations; the degree of Venus and Mars must be around 60 degrees for this path to be established. In order, read it after the main aspect - when two planets each have a main aspect, read the main aspect first to set the tone, and then let the sextile play the branch line: the main line points out the direction, and this box is responsible for connecting the last paragraph.

Sextile is often mistaken for the small trine, and the difference between the two is clearly stated in trine and sextile; the default of “soft aspect will definitely save trouble”, including the side that is not used, including the side that is not used, has been compared with The myth of hard aspect.
