Sun-Saturn Semi-Sextile

(Transit Sun → Natal Saturn)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Saturn’s semi-sextile: On the Sun of the inner sky there are its own spots. This aspect signifies 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 within the Planet’s spheres, without understanding, 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 these areas more deeply than those around them, yet their level, for reasons unclear even to themselves, will still 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 may camouflage a subtle dissatisfaction of the cosmic egregor and, accordingly, a slight discomfort in the inner world when the inner world is affected.
