Venus – Jupiter Sextile
Het Monster: Lucky, good-natured people. Artistic abilities, love for art and home decor. Popularity, many friends.
Katrín Ob’ye: Venus – Jupiter Sextile Trine, sextile: in love – a tendency to seek pleasures that come easily and to see the positive side of things and people. A person with this aspect in the horoscope is characterized by optimism, tolerance, and an unwillingness to unnecessarily complicate things, often content with what they have. That is why people with such an aspect are usually considered to be “lucky in love.” They love comfort in everything. Often, they are distinguished by conformity in romantic relationships.
A. Podvodnyy: Venus – Jupiter Sextile
Venus sextile: By rejecting love, a person not only rejects God but also loudly invites the devil. The Venus sextile gives a person opportunities and an internally felt need for socialization and the development of the aesthetic principle in the areas governed by the planet. For example, with a Venus sextile to Mercury, a person deeply desires to attract others through the beauty of their speech, the refinement of thought, and the perfection of their writing style, and fate will provide them with opportunities for such development, though this may not necessarily be a literary institute (for the latter, a trine to Venus is desirable, and not necessarily to Mercury).
The Venus sextile grants great constructive power of love in the areas of the planet. This is a very favorable aspect, as love serves as a good motivator for work, and a person is often willing to make efforts toward understanding and refining the planet’s principle. As a result, the latter (under Venus’s influence) improves and softens significantly. However, a person at a low level of Venus processing, focused solely on consumption, will not engage in any activity requiring effort, even when the light of possible love touches their face—only to bitterly regret it later or harden into solitary selfishness.
Karma always implies processing or at least periodic activation of aspects, and if a person ignores the influence of Venus through the planet’s sextile, the principle of the latter will suffer from a lack of understanding and love, which will reflect on the person as a whole. Unworked Venus sextiles result in especially harsh blows from fate, forcing the person to realize how necessary what they voluntarily rejected once was.
Jupiter sextile: Brilliant opportunities are better given than taken. Let us give Jupiter its due: any of its aspects (especially major ones) to a planet expand opportunities in its spheres—absolutely free of charge. The question is only how to approach them correctly and use them wisely. The Jupiter sextile gives a person an interest in expanding the spheres governed by the planet, a broader understanding of its principle in both external and internal life. Jupiter will offer them numerous convenient opportunities for this, adorned with its characteristic pomp. However, a person who believes that, having once opened the horn of plenty, they can continue without effort will be greatly mistaken. Further progress will require personal effort, and brilliant prospects will demand corresponding labor (though Jupiter will, of course, help along the way, but payment will still be required, just as unexpected patrons will demand it).
The Jupiter sextile is beneficial in that it expands opportunities and forms of work and provides a better, broader understanding of the planet’s principle, especially if the sextile is actively developed. Another characteristic of the Jupiter sextile is that a person receives opportunities on credit, often repaying them in indirect ways (not in a “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” manner but rather “you help me, and I’ll help someone else”), which is not always easy for the person to grasp. At a low level, a person perceives the Jupiter sextile as a trine and seeks to absorb all advances without giving anything in return, leading to unpleasant consequences—highly promising opportunities suddenly and permanently close, and the person feels unfairly deprived by fate, all while displaying hints of grandiosity.
Working with the sextile means not only significant expansion and effective use of the planet’s spheres of influence but also a wealth of promising developments that the person will offer to the external world.
