Semi-Sextile

The semi-sextile connects two planets thirty degrees apart, in adjacent signs. Neighboring signs always differ in both element and modality, so this is a link between functions with little in common, but the link itself is mild and cooperative. It reads as a quiet resourcefulness: the ability to gather what you need, connect adjacent ideas, and take small productive steps. Semi-sextiles rarely announce themselves in a personality. They show up as minor talents and easy little bridges between areas of life that would not obviously connect. Individually modest, they add texture and practicality to a chart, rewarding attention to detail and incremental effort.
