Sextile

Sextile — planets in friendly elements, their themes blend easily, but only if the person engages with them. Unlike a trine, it does not work on its own: a sextile is an open door, not a ready result.

Notice what the sextile connects and what needs to be done for it to work. Usually a single regular action is enough: the sextile does not require overcoming, it requires attention.

An aspect is rarely exact to the minute. The orb is the allowable deviation from the exact angle at which the aspect is still considered active. An angle of 88 degrees with an orb of 7 is a square with a 2‑degree deviation, and the smaller the deviation, the stronger the aspect manifests.

An aspect is called applying if the deviation from the exact angle is decreasing, and separating if it is increasing. The platform checks this by shifting the calculation forward by 0.2 days. An applying aspect is still gaining strength, a separating one has already completed its effect.
