☉︎ ⚹︎ ☋︎ Sun sextile South Node
The sextile puts the Sun and the South Node on friendly terms: an opportunity between the core self and the familiar past that rewards a little initiative.
The Sun shines where there is identity, vitality, and the will to shine; the South Node looks back where there is old talents and comfortable habits. What follows is what happens when the two are tied together.
The sextile offers a working relationship: when the Sun reaches toward old talents and comfortable habits, the door is usually open, though someone still has to walk through it.
Timing matters. When the Sun forms this sextile to the South Node in the sky, it is a temporary weather system that comes and goes. Held in a natal chart, it describes something the person carries for life.
Here the sextile joins Sun (identity and vitality) with South Node (the familiar past), held 60° apart.
Right now
Sun and South Node currently stand about 13.6° apart, 46.4° away from an exact sextile. Watch it move on the live clock.
