☿︎ ⚹︎ ☊︎ Mercury sextile North Node
Mercury sextile the North Node is an open door: the thinking mind finds the direction of growth easy to reach, for anyone who bothers to walk through.
Mercury governs thinking, talking, and trading; the North Node governs growth and the work of this life. Read the aspect as the working relationship between them.
This is opportunity rather than gift. Quickness and wit is available to the path being learned on request, with a little more push behind it than a trine would give.
As a transit, Mercury moving to sextile the North Node marks a passing window, hours to days for the Moon, months or years for the slow outer bodies, when the theme is live and worth watching. In a birth chart the same aspect is a standing feature of character rather than a single moment.
Here the sextile joins Mercury (mind and message) with North Node (the path being learned), held 60° apart.
Right now
Mercury and North Node currently stand about 158.7° apart, 98.7° away from an exact sextile. Watch it move on the live clock.
