Venus-Chiron Sextile

(Transit Venus → Natal Chiron)

Avesalom Podvodnyi. Aspects

Venus sextile: By rejecting love, a person not only turns away from God, but also loudly calls upon the devil. The Venus sextile gives a person opportunities and an inner felt need for socialization and development of the aesthetic principle in the areas ruled by the Planet. For example, with a Venus sextile to Mercury, a person deeply desires to attract others through the beauty of speech, refinement of thought, and perfection of written expression, and fate will provide opportunities for corresponding development, although this does not necessarily mean a literary institute (for that, a trine to Venus is preferable, and not so much to Mercury). The Venus sextile imparts great constructive power of love within the Planet’s domains. This is a very favorable aspect, since love is a strong motivator for action, and the person is usually willing to make efforts toward understanding and working with the Planet’s principle, as a result of which the latter (under Venus’s influence) significantly improves and softens. However, a person at a low level of Venus integration, oriented solely toward consumption, will not engage in any activity requiring effort, even when the light of potential love touches their face, later bitterly regretting it, or becoming permanently hardened in solitary egoism. Karma always implies working through, or at least periodic activation of aspects, and if a person ignores Venus’s influence through the Planet’s sextile, the Planet’s principle will suffer from misunderstanding and lack of love, which will also affect the person overall. Unworked Venus sextiles turn into particularly harsh setbacks from fate, so that the person can understand how essential what they voluntarily rejected once truly was. Chiron sextile: Why are a person’s hidden potentials so carefully concealed from them? Out of fear they might be sold into slavery. The Chiron sextile gives a person opportunities for unconventional and almost unbelievable expansion of the Planet’s principle, but realizing this (let alone manifesting it) is often difficult. The manifestation of this aspect may appear as confusing or inexplicable circumstances in the areas ruled by the Planet, requiring considerable effort to sort through, yet the results bring unexpected insight or an unconventional perspective on the given situation, which then acquires inner meaning. At a low level of integration, the Chiron sextile provides illusory opportunities for expansion and escape from developmental dead-ends related to the Planet’s principle, leading the naive, trusting, and success-hopeful person into chaos and inner sorrow. Chiron teaches one to work in an unconventional, reliable, practical way, and above all, to resolve inner problems before outer ones. A person can learn all this if they understand that the opportunities offered by the Chiron sextile require not only honest work, but also an unconventional approach, and possibly even parting with a certain portion of their accustomed worldview. Overall, this is a highly promising aspect, giving a person the chance to unravel complex and deeply hidden mysteries of their subconscious, illuminate and reliably bring into consciousness programs that seemed utterly unreachable, sometimes leading to a qualitative leap in the areas ruled by the Planet. Working through this sextile enables not only choosing entirely original paths for developing the planetary principle, but also offering them to others.
