In astrology, a sextile is a major aspect formed when two planets or other chart factors are approximately 60 degrees apart. It is traditionally associated with cooperation, opportunity, skill development, and constructive interaction between the factors involved. A sextile may indicate possibilities that become more noticeable or useful through awareness and participation rather than operating automatically. Its meaning depends on the planets or points involved, their signs and houses, the size of the orb, and how the aspect fits within the larger chart pattern.
