☉ Sun ⚹ Sextile ☽ Moon

60° · major aspect · harmonious · default orb ±5°

Sun sextile Moon traditionally places identity and vital force in an easy, supportive flow with emotional rhythm and the receptive faculty. Ptolemy classifies the sextile as a minor harmonious aspect, formed by signs of compatible polarity (both masculine or both feminine). This describes the documented significations of the two bodies in relation, cited per tradition — not a prediction about any individual.
