Sextile
60 degrees between two planets. A low-key opportunity aspect. Things click into place if you reach for them, but they will not chase you down.
A sextile is 60° between two planets — half a trine, in some sense. The angle is mild and friendly, like a quiet door someone left open. Things go better if you take the initiative; if you don't, nothing dramatic happens.
Where trines flow on their own, sextiles require a small step from you. Classical texts call this the "opportunity" aspect for that reason. The planets are predisposed to cooperate, but they need a verb from you to start.
In a forecast AIstra often uses sextile mentions for soft suggestions: "today is good for a difficult conversation," or "a small reach in the financial direction pays off." Nothing forced, but the door is unlocked.
