Sun-Sextile Venus

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Venus semi-sextile: Contact between humans and extraterrestrials will begin when it is managed by the Ministry of Culture. This aspect provides (especially in the areas of the Planet) a cosmic emphasis in the sense of harmony; when the aspect is developed, this may manifest as an artist, poet, or musician whose aesthetics are governed by laws previously unknown to Earth; at a lower level, especially if Venus is afflicted, there may be a rejection of conventional standards of beauty, which will seem mundane and bland to the person, drawing them instead to starry patterns and the shimmering hues of the aurora borealis. In social perception and social ethics within the Planet’s spheres, this individual may experience difficulties due to their cosmic-terrestrial duality in these matters: ordinary earthly perception and ethics may suddenly shift into incomprehensible alternatives, where obvious tragedy appears as farce, and trivial matters take on unnatural significance. For example, to properly work with the Sun-Venus semi-sextile, one must understand and internalize cosmic courtesy in their initiatives and acts of will when interacting with other people—even with those who, at first glance, do not deserve ordinary earthly consideration—and until the person achieves this, they may occasionally suffer feelings of guilt toward them and toward someone else, since their behavior toward others disrupts harmony in the Cosmos—and, of course, within the person’s own soul.
