Semi-Sextile Jupiter – Pluto
(Transit. Jupiter → Natal Pluto)
Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects
Semi-Sextile of Jupiter: A priori categories are given to a person as a reminder of their cosmic origin. At a high level of processing, this aspect provides distant access to extraterrestrial karmic programs, meaning that after overcoming the geocentric internal position, breakthroughs occur in understanding the nature of things and creation, and weaving threads of cosmic harmony into earthly karma. Depending on the nature of the planet forming the semi-sextile to Jupiter and its position in the horoscope, this could be philosophers or writers (Mercury), artists (Venus), mystics (Neptune), scientists (Uranus), etc. In any case, this person will reveal to others something previously unseen, and, believing their eyes, cautiously adapt and carefully, so as not to destroy improbable beauty, begin to comprehend, internalize, and try to hear the faintest echo of belonging to world harmony. At a low level, this aspect can lead to contempt for all earthly matters, but cosmic plans will initially be felt very weakly by the person, so the aspect will mainly manifest as a broad, superficial interest in cosmic aspects of the planet’s spheres and attempts at minor philosophy, though possibly with greater pretensions to significance. In a harmonious variant, sources of cosmic grace are possible, but at such a level that a limited person is unlikely to notice them.
Semi-Sextile of Pluto: From a cosmic perspective, Earth is not threatened by the abyss, but by a garbage dump. This aspect brings a cleansing in the spheres of the planet, conducted from the standpoint of cosmic ethics. This cleansing will occur both within the person themselves and in their surroundings, and ideally should proceed harmoniously, though in accordance with cosmic ideas of earthly beauty, which may diverge from the person’s own views. Usually, this aspect brings minor troubles that come instead of major ones, and if the person recognizes this, they will consider the aspect highly beneficial, especially if they find the strength to accept inevitable losses—often minor, but from an earthly perspective, possibly irrational and incomprehensible. In principle, this aspect holds great scientific interest, as here the person encounters a cosmic version of karma, and in its most harmonious form, so that while remaining relatively safe, one can comprehend in the spheres of the planet the cosmic ethics, at least learning what the Cosmos considers unacceptable and subject to destruction. The debilitation of the semi-sextile can lead to a sharply negative attitude toward the spheres of the planet, which should not (though the temptation may arise) be taken as cosmic truth: here, earthly disharmony combines with a cosmic critical perspective, and constructive processing and criticism of the spheres of the planet can yield very high results and strong evolution of the external world.
