What these two are about together
Feeling and what will not be made acceptable. Associated with the feelings a person learned early not to show, and with what happens to them afterwards.
What a sextile does
A sextile is traditionally read as opportunity rather than event. The two planets are in compatible elements and can work together easily, but the tradition is specific that a sextile describes something available rather than something that arrives. It is the aspect most often described as a door that is unlocked and still shut.
How it reads
The refusal is felt without shame. Associated with being at ease with a part of yourself that others find sharp.
In practice
Reads as ease that is not automatic. Where a trine tends to be used without thinking, a sextile tends to be noticed and then either taken up or left alone.
What to watch for
Nothing happening. A sextile that goes unused is the most common way this aspect is experienced, and it is not a failure of the aspect.
