Katrin Aubier. Astrological Dictionary

Trine, sextile: to the severity and intransigence characteristic of Saturn, a desire for exclusivity, dictated by Uranus, is often added. This aspect is a sign of an unyielding will, against which various accidental circumstances of an emotional or sensory nature are powerless. The person firmly resists any external influences, possesses significant moral strength, and an invariably sober mind.

Saturn Sextile: A person’s life should be such that it is worth understanding. A Saturn sextile provides a person with opportunities for in-depth development in the spheres ruled by the Planet. One must, however, be able to see these opportunities, as Saturn’s signature, especially at low levels of its development, makes a person think more about their misfortunes related to external limitations than about the development and elaboration of not-so-obvious plans and prospects. At the same time, Saturn’s influence makes a person internally serious and purposeful in the spheres ruled by the Planet, but they must realize this themselves, rather than repressing it into the subconscious (which is entirely possible at a low level and especially in a fire-air horoscope). Saturn suggests that a person delve deeply into the Planet’s problem, understand the influence of its principle on inner life, and only then take active external steps. It promises deep penetration into the Planet’s mysteries, wise mastery and control over it – but within the framework of karma, which in this case imposes significant limitations, and one must learn to see them. At the moment of the sextile’s activation, a person experiences a certain freezing, external and internal inhibition, which seems to invite them to look more closely within themselves and thoroughly deal with the Planetary principle (usually based on a specific problem arising from the intensification of external or internal limitations). If a person stubbornly ignores Saturnian suggestions, Saturn can freeze the Planet, and then the person will study its principle under duress. For example, attempts at a frivolous attitude towards love (in all its forms) with a Saturn – Venus sextile can result in an utterly heartless person, to whom karma will later send, for instance, a passionately loved and equally indifferent granddaughter, forcing them to experience torments similar to those they once caused themselves.

Uranus Sextile: While breaking through in a person, genius actively hinders its breakthrough into people. Sextiles of outer planets provide opportunities that not everyone will utilize. Specifically, a Uranus sextile gives good ideas (which, however, require significant development for their implementation) only to a person who has developed the Planet’s principle to a sufficiently high level. Then they begin to appreciate the often overly original ideas that Uranus sends them. Of course, a Uranus sextile makes the Planetary principle not boring for a person, sometimes even very much so, but one must learn to perceive Uranian influences according to their true worth; at the beginning of development, there will be much foolish eccentricity, behind which lies nothing, and a few potentially creative ideas that, however, require careful verification and formulation. A Uranus sextile is an invitation to great creativity in the spheres ruled by the Planet, but it is a ready gift of this creativity. Development here yields a truly creative nature and a constant creative choice, which distinguishes a true artist, and at a high level, also the ability to unlock this gift in other people. At a low level, a person does not understand the actions and opportunities provided by Uranus; they seem like beautiful or partially frightening, but meaningless and useless sparklers, or, with Uranus afflicted, sometimes take on the character of an overvalued idea. Here, development begins with a person learning to perceive Uranian manifestations (unusual events, etc.) in the Planet’s sphere as signs of destiny, indicating the possibility of constructive and potentially creative application of their strengths; as development progresses, the person gradually learns the language of Uranian signs and hints (specific to their own destiny) and begins to use them practically. However, a person will always feel this striving; at the very least, stereotypical behavior in relevant situations is very boring to them.
