The Sextile Aspect (60°)
"Like finding a $20 bill in your pocket, only to realize it's from a currency that no longer exists."
What is a Sextile?
A sextile occurs when two planets are approximately 60 degrees apart. In traditional astrology, it's considered a harmonious aspect, which in nihilistic terms means it's suspiciously pleasant. Think of it as the universe's way of saying "See? I can be nice!" right before everything goes wrong.
Key Characteristics:
- Allegedly beneficial opportunities that require effort you don't have
- Potential for growth that you'll probably squander
- Harmony that feels more like cosmic mockery
- Easy flow of energy that leads nowhere meaningful
Example Sextile Scenarios
Sun Sextile Moon
Your conscious and unconscious minds are working together perfectly, making you acutely aware of how meaningless everything is.
Venus Sextile Mars
Your love life and ambitions align beautifully, revealing new and exciting ways to disappoint yourself.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter
Your mind expands to comprehend vast cosmic truths, none of which will help you pay your bills.
"The sextile aspect is like a cosmic participation trophy - it means well, but ultimately highlights the futility of effort."
