What these two are about together

Need and expansion. How much is enough, emotionally, and what happens when the answer is more.

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

Optimism as a resting state. Read as resilience and as somebody people feel better around.

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.

The two planets

Moon: Need, instinct and what settles you

Jupiter: Meaning, growth and the risk of too much
