Grand Sextile

A Grand Sextile is a rare aspect pattern made of six planets spaced evenly around the chart, each sixty degrees from the next, forming a six-pointed star. It contains two interlocking Grand Trines and a web of sextiles connecting all six points, which is why it is sometimes called the Star of David. Because it needs six planets in exact relationship, it almost never appears in full. A Grand Sextile is a pattern of extraordinary harmony and opportunity. Every planet in it supports every other through easy, flowing aspects, giving a person a wide range of talents and a deep reservoir of potential. The energy moves smoothly around the whole figure, touching many areas of the chart at once. The difficulty is the same as with other harmonious patterns, only larger. So much ease can lead to passivity, with all that potential sitting unused because nothing forces a person to act on it. The work of a Grand Sextile is to bring intention and effort to its many gifts, turning rare natural harmony into something actually built and lived.
