What it describes
A sixty-degree relationship traditionally connects compatible elements. Sextiles suggest a workable opening that benefits from participation. Look for a skill or conversation you can actively cultivate rather than expecting opportunity to arrive by itself.
How Asteria calculates it
The shortest angular separation between two planetary longitudes is compared with 60°. A match is included when the difference is at most 4°. The remaining difference is the orb. Orbs are conventions and differ between schools; Asteria’s chart includes major and selected minor longitude aspects.
