Explore what it means when the Sun and Pluto harmonize through a sextile aspect in your birth chart.

Sun sextile Pluto

With the Sun sextile Pluto in your natal chart, you are imbued with a sense of purpose and mission that drives your life. Your determination and passion are guiding forces that enhance and enrich your life. You prefer to wake up each morning with a clear goal in mind, ready to pursue your passion.

Not many things rattle you. You thrive on growth, especially of the psychological kind. A good mystery to unravel is always appealing, and you have a knack for solving it. You have a unique ability to assign meaning to what others might consider ordinary events. You are adept at reading between the lines, often spotting signs and symbols that others might miss.

This aspect not only supplies you with determination and passion but also boosts your physical vitality, strength, and healing. It enhances your energy levels, resilience, and ability to recover from challenges.

Others tend to respect you. You are not afraid to get your hands dirty and are quick to help others–not only with mundane tasks but also on a spiritual or psychological level. Your insight is sharp and sometimes awe-inspiring. You are incredibly perceptive and have a deep understanding of human nature. While not a do-gooder, you’re also unlikely to be a law-breaker. You are more likely to understand the “dark side” of human nature, and you will bend the rules from time to time if you feel the need to do so.

You can take much pleasure in growing and participating in life’s lessons. Superficiality is a turn-off, and you can be quick (usually the first) to spot pretense of any kind. Your keen perception allows you to see through facades and understand the true nature of people and situations.

Because you’re so perceptive, in early life, you might experiment with your power to deceive since, in theory, you could be skilled at it. However, you grow and mature with strength and integrity. In fact, you do your best to rid yourself of any self-delusion that we are all susceptible to sometimes.

You can be intense and passionate, but you are generally in control of these traits. You know when to moderate yourself when you’re pushing too hard or too far. It’s possible you hunger for experiences that are more than just ordinary or common, and you can be quite ambitious. There is a perfectionist side to you, as you demand a lot from yourself and reasonable effort and honesty from others.

General discussion of Sun-Pluto aspects.

What is a sextile? A sextile is an astrological aspect of 60 degrees. Astrologers generally consider two planets or points to be sextile one another if they are approximately 55 to 65 degrees away from each other, give or take. This range depends on the orb an astrologer allows and, in this example, the orb is 5 degrees.

The sextile is considered harmonious and easy. The planets forming a sextile are playing nicely with one another, making benefits and opportunities more likely. Sextiles hold the potential for an intelligent use of the energies of the involved planets and points.
