What does a sextile mean?
Two planets 60° apart, usually two signs apart. OrbHeaven counts a sextile within 5° in a birth chart, or 6° when the Sun or Moon is one of the pair; like many astrologers, it gives the sextile a smaller orb than the other four major aspects. Astrologers generally class it as a soft aspect and often interpret it as an opportunity that becomes more noticeable when acted upon.
