Moon-Saturn Semi-Sextile

(Transit Moon → Natal Saturn)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Saturn’s semi-sextile: On the Sun of the inner sky there are spots. This aspect indicates great responsibility before cosmic karma in the spheres of the Planet, the possibility of its deep understanding, and, when worked through, promises unearthly wisdom and perfection. At a low level, the person will be limited to complaints about the poor quality of what is happening in the external world in the Planet’s spheres, failing to understand, first, that their demands are often poorly comprehensible to others, who usually stand entirely on earthly positions, and second, that in this case karma primarily implies inner work toward ever-deeper meaning in cosmic (not merely earthly) evolution. Until the person reaches this level of understanding, the Planet’s spheres will keep attracting them, and they may understand them more deeply than others around, yet still, for reasons unclear to themselves, their level will not satisfy them. If Saturn is afflicted in connection with this, complexes and phobias may arise, along with sincere bewilderment toward the surrounding environment, inner world, or God: “Well, what more do you want from me?!” Indeed, the demands—or rather, expectations (after all, the semi-sextile is a harmonious aspect)—of world karma in this case are great, and superficial or short-term efforts will not suffice. In the harmonious variant, this aspect grants relatively deep insight and original perception in the Planet’s spheres through the natural course of life, not immediately, but also without special effort. Although this is insufficient, harmonious aspects can camouflage the subtle dissatisfaction of the cosmic egregor and, accordingly, a slight discomfort in the inner world, especially when the inner world is afflicted.
